The report suggests that life expectancy and overall income of the people in developing countries have dramatically increased, as 4 out of 5 people can read and write in the mentioned countries. Additionally, the income of people has increased 3 times during the past 25 years in developing countries, so the gap between rich and poor is shrinking day after day. What counts amazing is the speed of progress in these countries; the speed is 4.6 percent faster of developing countries in comparison with developed nations.”

As a citizen of this country, I have many experiences and my experiences suggest that you should not be only seeking convenience and prosperity.

“Dear students, you have studied for four years in situation which has always been challenging–  after so many difficulties today you are celebrating one of the most important events of your life—graduation!

“Your graduation party reminds me the time when we were thinking to be at the service of people not only other sectors in CoAR but also in education sector as well. At the end I would like to thank all people who have contributed in today’s success such as Khuda Bakhsh who is always cleaning the building and is at your service—also the guards who contribute in securing you and I would like to thank all the parents who have contributed in sending their kids to study and achieve one of the basic goals and finally I would like to recommend that you dear students should in contact with one another and do not forget each other.
