The education system in Pakistan is undergoing phenomenal changes from the levels of primary education to the PhD level. At one end, the focus is on a uniform curriculum at the initial stages of education, and on the other hand, the Higher Education Commission (HEC) is striving to improve the quality of higher education.
HEC has introduced new graduation and PhD policies and has also taken strict measures against non-recognized institutions. In this context, the Pakistani students must keep updated on the latest developments in the educator sector. It will enable them to make the right career choices and also save their financial resources from investing in unauthorized and unrecognized institutions.
I have dedicated this blog post to mention the latest developments in the education sector of Pakistan. I will keep updating this post with new developments. I will present the news and links in descending order so that you see the latest news first.
