The Higher Education Commission (HEC) expressed concern over the growth of illegal sub-campuses of universities, ever since it granted permission to public universities to establish sub-campuses. The commission has advertised in newspapers and other portals to guide parents and students from enrolling in programs that have not been accredited by the national body.
Representing the commission, an official said that the commission was working to educate students and they can check the accreditation status of their programmes from the official website.
Federation of All Pakistan Universities Academic Staff Association (FAPUSA) Chairman Dr Mahboob Hussain issued a statement emphasising upon the government’s responsibility to perform a check on universities running unapproved programmes.
