Government is planning to dissolve the Higher Education Commission (HEC) as the 18th amendment makes education a provincial subject. In experts view, this step will hurt the education system badly.
Political parties are opposing this act of government. I fail to understand the policy of these political parties. Why didnt they raise their voice when the 18th amendment was being formulated? Many people thinks that government is dissolving HEC because there will be no authority after HEC to check the status of fake degrees.
HEC should not be finished altogether. Education ministry should also remain with the federal government. Government must improve the quality of education by finishing different educational systems working in the country. The first thing to be done should be to create one education board. Then the experts of this field must be taken on board to form a proper and up-to-date syllabus.
