Talent Hunt Program - Short Term Intervention
As a measure of short term intervention that would create an immediate impact, Sukkur IBA University planned

Universities Building
a unique comprehensive remedial education plan called the “Talent Hunt Program (THP)”. The philosophy of the
program is “access to all”. The students with poor schooling, seeking admission for higher studies in reputed
universities face two challenges; first, they are unable to clear the entrance exam of good universities. Second,
even if they clear through quick measures and, somehow, clear the entrance exam, they hardly survive tough
grading standards of good universities.

Communities
Under THP, students are admitted after their grade 12 education in a six-month program to be rigorously trained
by qualified faculty of the university in core subjects like English, Mathematics and Computer. Under this program,
the students bear no tuition fees while also accessing free accommodation, transport, books and additionally an
amount of Rs. 18,000/- for semester stipend. Every student who is selected in THP and maintains a CGPA of 3.0, is
provided free education, books, and accommodation for the entire duration of the degree program.
The program has quickly become one of the most popular educational programs in the country and attracted more
Talent Hunt Program - Short Term Intervention than 12,000 applications for the 2016-2017 session. Sukkur IBA University believes that under THP these students
would be given remedial education for six months after their intermediate/HSSC education so that when they
enroll into the undergraduate programs, they are able to better cope with pressures of a quality education system.
IBA Community Colleges - Long Term Intervention We can now statistically prove from the past experiences that the program has indeed been very effective and
has produced the intended results which we desired from this short-term intervention leading to a conspicuous
success.
Summer Science Camp
Functions of IBA Community Colleges Summer Science Camp has become an annual activity for Sukkur IBA University since 2017. The camp has
been designed to impart inquiry-based science education to students belonging to under-privileged areas of
Sindh, and to inspire them to pursue science. The camp explores hidden potential among young learners to
University Role in Building Communities become future scientists and technologists. The students of class IX & X, studying in government schools of
Sindh, are the primary participants of the camp. The students are brought to Sukkur IBA University’s Community
Colleges (including IBA Public School Sukkur, IBA Community College Khairpur, IBA Community College Dadu,
IBA Community College N. Feroze, and IBA Community College Jacobabad) and are trained by highly qualified
National and International Linkages faculty of Community Colleges in five important subjects i.e. Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, and
Computer Science, through projects and practical activities.
Students are provided with free food, accommodation and a stipend for the duration of the camp. The 20-day
camp is concluded with a mega science exhibition at the main campus of Sukkur IBA University, in which top
Sukkur IBA Alumni Chapter projects are displayed by the beneficiary students.
So far, two phases have been sponsored by CDP, Government of Sindh. Through this program, over 70 government
schools have benefitted and over 400 science projects have been developed by beneficiary students. Sukkur IBA
University believes that it is through STEM education that the future of our country can be shaped.

IBA Community Colleges - Long Term Intervention

Although THP is a success story, it is still reactive approach. THP is a remedial action after the damage has
already been done by poor schooling system. Sukkur IBA University decided to take proactive measures i.e. to
try to avoid the damage before it occurs and intervene in the area where the damage takes place.
Being aware of the problem and challenges of the rural education system, the university initiated a long-term
two-fold intervention plan.
1. Establishing community colleges in various rural districts of Sindh for imparting quality education from
montessori to higher secondary school and associate degrees in various fields.
2. Make the education at community colleges affordable and accessible to all. Sukkur IBA University believes
that any student who wants to study should not be denied the right to quality education and, thus, the community
colleges are actively working to provide quality as well as equality in education.

Functions of IBA Community Colleges

The following figure shows the functions of IBA Community Colleges.

In addition to these community colleges and public schools, Sukkur IBA University has adopted 03 government
schools under the public-private partnership where the quality education is being imparted at par with community
colleges. These schools have been equipped with modern science laboratories, computer labs, and libraries.
Additionally, they have been provided with meritorious staff.
Under this project, following schools have been adopted in District Khairpur:
1. Government High School Tando Mir Ali
2. Government High School Jajh Regulator
3. Government High School Karoondi
Currently in IBA Community Colleges and Schools, there are 11,678 students enrolled, 575 teaching staff and 232
non-teaching staff.

University Role in Building Communities

Value is what gets created when investors invest and organizations act to pursue their mission. Traditionally,
we have thought of value as being either economic (or created by for-profit companies) or social (created by
Basic Education non-profit or non-governmental organizations). At Sukkur IBA University, we strive to create value that consists

Health Insurance Benefits to Employees of Sukkur IBA University

In the eve of 21st century, Sukkur IBA University, like other international organizations, encourages safe and
healthy working environment. It provides all possible benefits to its employees which resultantly bring safe and
sound mind at work place. Apart from other benefits, Health Insurance Policy coverage is also an incredible
addition to benefits offered to employees.
The purpose of health insurance is to help employees pay for care. It protects them and their families financially
in the event of an unexpected serious illness or injury that could be very expensive. In addition, they are more
likely to get routine and preventive care, if they have health insurance. Having health insurance is important
for several reasons. Uninsured people receive less medical care and less timely care. They have worse health
outcomes, and lack of insurance is a fiscal burden for them and their families.
