Education minister says Pakistani visa process should be simplified

State Minister of Education Aminath Ali has highlighted the need to simplify the Pakistani visa procedure for Maldivian students hoping to enter the country’s higher-learning institutions, reports the country’s associated press.

Aminath is said to to have made the suggestion during a meeting with other ministry officials, claiming prospective institutions should be authorised to recommend student applications to the country’s foreign office as is standard practice elsewhere.

She is said to have been particularly interested in students being enrolled in courses teaching sharia and law, such as the International Islamic University and the National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST).
