Educational Supervisory bodies in Pakistan

Pakistan Higher Education Commission

The basic idea behind setting up of Higher Education Commission has been to facilitate the development of national universities into world-class centers of education, research and development. Through facilitating this process, the HEC intends to play its part in spearheading the building of a knowledge-based economy in Pakistan.

Since its establishment, the Higher Education Commission has undertaken a systematic approach for turning Pakistan into a real knowledge-economy.

The Commission has been entrusted with the responsibility to evaluate, improve and promote the higher education and research sector in Pakistan. For the purpose, the government of Pakistan has also granted it special powers to fulfill its objectives.

Since its establishment, the Higher Education Commission has undertaken a systematic process for implementing the five-year agenda for reform outlined in the HEC Medium Term Development Framework (MTDF), in which Access, Quality and Relevance have been identified as the key challenges faced by the education sector.
To address these challenges a comprehensive strategy has been defined that identifies the core strategic aims for reform as:

1. Faculty Development
2. Improving Access
3. Excellence in Learning and Research
4. Relevance to National Priorities
