EditorialAdvanced universities providing quality education, research and developing industry linkages,concomitantly, must offer opportunities of physical well-being to its pupil, as well. Both highereducation and sports have many important roles to perform in the society. The role of sportsranges from healthy living and community access to world-class excellence. Participation ofuniversity students in sports and their remarkable performance provides a snapshot of howsports and higher education are engaging successfully.

BUITEMS believes in free and open debate that fosters moral authority within the academiccommunity, and the Boards of Study at the University provide a forum to promote debate andinformation flow on a wide range of issues affecting research and higher education. BUITEMSis accountable to stakeholders for the relevancy and quality of academic programs.
