Dr. Hassan Hameed Rector of Maldives College of Higher Education has stated that Addu Atoll can be made to another UK or Australia. He made the statement speaking at the graduation ceremony held at the Hithadhoo Campus of the College.

He noted that the vision of the college was to make the Addu Atoll in to another UK or another Australia but that cannot be achieved by focusing on Addu Atoll only. He noted the aim of the people of the Addu should be to become good teachers and to make the Addu Center a regional center so that all students from other islands in the region can join.

“We can actually make Addu Atoll to be another UK; can the people of the Maldives make Addu to be another Australia? This is a vision we should be working to achieve, we cannot achieve this by focusing on Addu only, everybody must become teachers for a very special reason, we have to make this Center to be regional Center for all other students in the region to come and join” said Dr. Hameed.

Dr. Hameed said Addu has glorious history, a history where Addu was center of learning. He said he wanted this history to be repeated.

“We know that Addu was once a center for learning, we want to make the history to be repeated so that Addu can once again a great center of learning, as it was before” said Dr. Hameed.
