Why not Pakistani Universities?

First, unfortunately, there is no graduate course related to gerontology in Pakistan.


On the large
scale, the current educational theory in Pakistan lags significantly behind that in
advanced
countries in the world.
Second, I believe that the problems of elderly people in Pakistan can be solved by
getting an
advanced program from well-reputed university which can be helpful for my country
and my
people. Finally, as Gerontologists require a lot of training, and skills which could only
be
achieved under the guidelines of specialized staff from well-reputed university.
Owing to these
reasons, I have decided not to continue studying for higher education from my home
country.
My family and Financial Ties to Home Country
My xyz father will sponsor me for all my expenses for my study and stay in Canada.
Also, I have
paid the first year tuition fees to the University of Lakehead (23000CAD). Moreover, I
have paid
10,000 CAD as per GIC requirements to the Bank of Nova Scotia Student GIC
Program to cover
my first year living expenses. All my expenses shall be borne by my father. He is a
businessman
and he also owns a commercial property. His income is more than enough to meet
my expenses
and to support me financially throughout my education in Canada. Currently, he has
capital of
approximately PKR 5,000,000/- in his bank account.
My mother (Xyz) is a housewife. Siblings details
After completing my MED (Gerontology Specialization), from Canada, I am
planning to work
for older people in Pakistan and to run an awareness campaign with some
organization regarding
the health and care of senior citizens and make them realize that how Canadian
people are
working in the field of Gerontology. Besides this, there will be lots of opportunities in
Pakistan
regarding this field like senior centers, retirement communities, and professional
organizations
