PESHAWAR: The higher education department has decided to declare seven government colleges at divisional level as degree awarding institutions to bring improvement in quality of education, according to officials.
“All the state-run colleges would be de-affiliated from the public sector universities once the process of declaring government colleges as degree awarding status is completed,” an official in higher education department told a local media outlet.
He said that some government colleges in each divisional headquarters of the province were selected for the purpose. The rest of the colleges in each administrative division would be constituent colleges of that college, which would be given degree awarding status, he added.
