The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

OBAT Helpers- Empowerment through community development.
1. The only US based organization in the world that is helping these forgotten people.
2. Plight of the 300,000+
human souls in Bangladesh
Aka;
Stranded Pakistanis
Stateless citizens (an oxymoron indeed)
Bihari Refugees
3. ―To be stripped of citizenship is to be stripped of worldliness; it
is like returning to a wilderness as cavemen or savages . . .they
could live and die without leaving any trace.‖
— HANNAH ARENDT
―The Origins of Totalitarianism‖
6. In the Shadow Millions Seek to
Escape the Grim World of the Stateless
7. Stateless people are almost by
definition – anonymous. They exists at
the edge of society, people with less
than most chance of survival and no
chance of a career at all
9. Ways to Become Stateless
• Political action by some taken a long time ago
•Some are being born into it
• Deliberate exile
•expulsion of Jews from Europe
•Feili Kurds from Iraq By Saddam Hussain
•Palestinian people after creation of Israel
•Muslims of North Rakhine State (Myanmar)
•Hilly tribes in Thailand
•Bidon tribesman from the Gulf States
10. Ways to Become Stateless
• Omission of a particular group, for fear of
repercussions
• Groups left out of recognized citizens when State
first constituted or reformed. Eg: the Bihari
citizens of the newly created State of Bangladesh.
11. A Brief History Lesson
• 1971 creation of Bangla Desh
▫ Bihari Nationals singled out as ―Traitors‖
▫ Their crime: Anti Bangla Desh.
▫ Assisted the Pak Army
▫ Insisted on remaining Pakistani
▫ Wanted to be repatriated to West Pakistan
12. The Lesson Continues
• Their Punishment:
▫ Many killed, maimed, raped ,belongings looted.
▫ Their property seized
▫ Appox. 500,000+ ― settled in Camps‖ all over
the country.
▫ Stripped of all basic human rights.
13. And There's More
• ICRC assume responsibility.
• ― High level discussions ― between
Representatives of BD and PK re repatriation
• Neither accepts responsibility
• 1973. 178000 repatriated in an exchange
• 4600 more in 1982
14. Just One More
• To date, several countries governments have
offered financial support.
• Trusts and money have set aside.
• ―High level discussion continues
15.
16. General Condition
• The living condition of
these camp dwellers are
an embarrassment to the
world’s social
environment. Their
living condition is
beyond imagination.
• In third world countries,
animals live better than
them.

26. Education
• There are no schools for higher education.
• Only two primary schools providing basic
education, one in Mohammadpur camp Dhaka
and the other in Rangpur District.
• There are only ten percent of the children of the
total population that attend Madrasah type
schools.

30. Sanitation
One of the major health
hazards for camp residents
are unsanitary living
conditions. The water
supply becomes
contaminated with sewage,
and camp residents have
no choice but to continue
drinking that water.
There is a serious lack of
bathroom facilities as well.
31.
32. Health
People have none or
very limited access to
health care. In the
entire Bangladesh,
there are only three or
four small clinics that
are being run by some
charitable
organizations.
33.
34. Population
Total population in 66 camps of Bangladesh:
200,000. According to a rough survey in 7 camps
of Chittagong, Bangladesh;
• Total numbers of camps
7
• Total numbers of residents
23,600
• Total numbers of schools/Madrasah 3
• Total number of clinics

"OBAT Journey to Change" documentary is created by Zach Rockwood. Zach, a talented videographer from LA, visited the camps in Bangladesh recently (Dec 2012-Jan 2013) with his friend Katie Basbagill (photo journalist from Indianapolis). They joined the OBAT Helpers team and visited different cities to get a first hand glance of OBAT's projects in camps. The documentary is a heart warming portrayal of the trying circumstances and the survival of the camp residents. This video is part of the documentary that is going to be released in the near future. All the work done by both professionals Zach and Katie is voluntarily.
