Director's Message
The School of Governance and Society (SGS) at the UMT has been established as a pioneering venture to launch inter-disciplinary programs in Government Studies and Public Policy. At the School, the purpose of education is not merely to enable prospective students and executives to obtain a degree and to excel in the public sector; it is also to instill in them a capacity to be curious, to discover their inner potential, to ask difficult questions, and to re-interpret the socioeconomic and political environment of Pakistan.
The endeavor is focused on enabling the students to find innovative solutions to the many failures of governance that plague us and to promote sustainable development. Learning at the School aims to empower the citizens and the leaders of tomorrow by giving them knowledge with compassion, information with independent thinking, management skills with a sense of justice, and governance capacity with equity.
