Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU), founded in 1974, is a university in Islamabad, Pakistan. It is one of the world's largest universities by enrollment. Allama Iqbal Open University was established as Peoples' Open University under an act of parliament in 1974 as a pioneer in non-formal and distance education in Pakistan. It was then the world's second open university; the first such university was established in the UK in 1969. AIOU provides an opportunity for working people to enhance their qualifications without giving up their jobs or homes. In Pakistan distance education is particularly suited to the female population as it offers them an opportunity to study at home. Similarly, people living in the tribal and far-flung areas far from conventional educational institutions, have an opportunity to be educated.
