‘Pakistani students can secure bright future in Japan’

Pakistani students who are familiar with the Japanese language could fulfil the need of qualified and skilled human resource in Japan, and although Pakistani students are approaching Japan for career opportunities, they are less in numbers.

This was stated by the president of Hotsuma International, Japan, Dr Ohira Yoshikazu, while delivering a lecture at a seminar, titled ‘Career opportunities in Japan for Pakistani students’. The event was organised by the Applied Economics Research Centre, University of Karachi, at its auditorium on Monday.  

He mentioned that the learning of the Japanese language had become a way for international students to secure a bright future in the world’s most prosperous country. 

Dr Yoshikazu advised the AERC students to gain an experience of learning and working in Japan. He said his Japanese language schools under the title of Hotsuma International were teaching the language in two important cities of Japan, Gifu and Tokyo. 

He said their institutional policy surrounded three letters, MAC, which means manners, attendance and communication. He observed that punctuality and regularity were the major characteristics of the Japanese society.  

He underlined the importance of the Japanese language for Pakistan students who were willing to avail career opportunities in Japan. He further said his schools had accepted many students from various countries and played a central role in Japanese language education in Gifu.

“Our mission is not only to teach Japanese language but also to develop students’ global talent to contribute to Japanese society. We all work together to provide students many opportunities for improving their Japanese language skills and growing as a person.”

Talking about the importance of languages, AERC Director Professor Dr Samina Khalil said that no country could attain desirable progress until it declared its national language as official language and medium of instruction.

She mentioned that Japan was the third prosperous nation of the world. She advised Pakistan students to go to Japan, which was a land of opportunities.  Shuja Haider, a Japanese language expert of Japan House, also spoke.
