AUAP 17th General Conference 2024

Conference Theme

Higher education stands at a critical crossroads, compelled to adapt to rapid societal changes, technological advancements, and the demand for a more holistic approach to education. The traditional emphasis on knowledge acquisition alone is gradually giving way to a broader perspective that recognizes the importance of values in shaping well-rounded individuals who can thrive in an ever-changing world.

The Paradigm Shift in Higher Education calls for a renewed focus on values that go beyond academic achievements. While knowledge remains essential, the cultivation of values forms the foundation for holistic growth, character development, and the ability to navigate the complexities of life. It is imperative to equip students with the skills, attitudes, and ethical principles necessary to become responsible global citizens, contributing positively to their communities and the world at large. This Conference is the platform to enhance and update knowledge, share the research findings among the global audience and establish academic collaborations.
