In today’s world, social and economic growth depends on an educated and skilled population, and IIST strives to provide inclusive, research-driven education that equips graduates to meet the challenges of the 21st century.

Challenges

These social and economic challenges are generated in particular by:

• The increased rate of globalization;
• The need for improved skills by nationals to increase productivity;
• The rapid pace of technological change;
• The need to achieve the Sixth National Development Plan.

These developments impact society and demand adaptation from labour markets worldwide. Universities play a central role in this transformation. Open and distance learning has advanced significantly in recent years, and IIST University is fully committed to being a key contributor to this progress, ensuring access to quality education that meets the evolving needs of students and society.
