Great the Rector and his team at Awkum is truely a dynamic group.I have watched Awkum since its beginning 7years ago and am greatly impressed with its achievements. I hope you introduce a 1 year preparatory Pashto academic cource to bring those upto scratach who would love to pursue a major in Pashto language and literature for internatioanl and expatriate Pashtun .This is missing at every university in KP .Lets hope Awkum will be the first to introduce such a quailifying course,if indeed it is a leader and innovator among Kp universities.
