Architect Salim Daaboul – Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the University of Kalamoon- said: “ one couldn’t continue
in tourism, trade, industry, and all other fields and even in development without having trustworthy universities which can provide qualified, trained, and competent human personnel to build up homeland because education is the cornerstone of development”. The speech came in a lecture on ‘Private University Education in Syria’ delivered by Daabool on 24/1/2010 at Assafir Hotel in Homs.
Mr. Daabool emphasized on the role of private university education and its importance in building the homeland. That role includes distinguished qualitative education, boosting the level of high education and scientific research, increasing university education opportunities, meeting the current and future needs alongside with other national and social roles. He concentrated on the concept of ‘nationalism’ in investment because it is the melting-pot of original investment. Investment in university education is original and noble goal bringing in benefit for itself and for the homeland. On the other hand, the parasite investment is bringing in benefit for itself from the homeland. He added that the availability of private university education in Syria has stabilized the youth in their country and enabled them not to go abroad to study. It is estimated that nearly 54% of our youth would annually go abroad to study.
Mr. Daabool presented the University of Kalamoon as a brilliant example of private university education following the factors of making the efficient education a success. This can be achieved through the University of Kalamoon’s vision and message which are embodied in the national cause, great ambition, confronting obstacles, clear and noble goal and the collective work spirit.
