We are unable to understand why Dr. Laghari is working against Govt. The appointment of Dr. Naqvi for third time was termed as illegal by the Supreme court. The so called MP scale DGs are involved in favoritism and nepotisim. Why HEC is not disclosing the Scholar lists according to the province and discipline wise. How much R&D funds are spent on smaller provinces? How much trainings are held at far flung areas for teachers? How much projects are awarded to the Universities of three other provinces? Why Islamabad Capital has Universities in every sector whereas in provinces even Divisions have no campus. What are the objectives of introducing TTS, Foreign Professors, Distinguished National Professors, Professor Emeritus, Professors Meritorious, BPS professors and Adjunct Professor? We are unable to understand logic behind holding ranking with sham parameters and without involving third party. Transparency and Fairness is not exercised in accreditation and other affairs of the HEC. There are more than 300 absconders in Scholarship schemes according to the HEC website. There are people who are declared best teachers and same time they are called plagiarist. There are policies which are circulated by one division and nullified by the other. What the hell Dr. Laghari is doing there? The DGs at HEC are working without PhD and actual intellectual input. The University of Engineering Project was declared as failure. The Approach of the HEC remains idealistic without realizing the ground realities. People are compelled to do plagiarism by forcing them to complete research publications. There are no proper research facilities at Universities. It is time to revisit the HEC and its objectives needs to redefined.

Shame on you people, this is against the journalistic norms to highlight the opinion of a single side. Pity on you and on those who claim Dawn to be the most credible news source.

Dear Husain,
HEC’s numbers speak for themselves. Also, you should not doubt the words of a competent man like Dr. Laghari unless you have solid proofs of nepotism against him.
Stay blessed!

Kindly, Mr. LAGHARI, reduce HEC’s Degree Attestation Fee. It is insane to pay an exorbitant amount of Rs. 800 for a stamp on each Original Document and Rs. 500 for each Copy. It is almost impossible to manage for poor students, including the courier charges/ charges for in person visit to Islamabad. It is a crucial issue which needs an urgent consideration. Please don’t convert HEC, from an education facilitating institution, to a commercial entity. Thanks

Status of HEC is not more than one-eyed in the midst of blinds. Like other government offices this body is also marred with red-tapism and inefficiency – though enjoying an autonomous position. In spite of being over-crowded with excessive employees you would hardly hear any voice in the opposite side if you dial the official landline numbers. Replying the email of any student is something beyond reality. In a single department there are multiple officers holding same job title and same job descriptions. Though i admit the meritocracy in awarding scholarships, but once the student is enrolled they have no coordination mechanism with the concerned offices of that university.
Students have had to wait years after the completion of degree for the release of stipends. Despite of numerous lapses this body should be left autonomous.

Dear Chairman,
We (The HEC scholars studying abroad) can feel the pressure you must be facing at this stage. There are no doubts about the performance of HEC and its internationally recognised contributions for the betterment of Pakistan. You and your team are doing a great job and I assure you that we will not let you face this all alone. We are with you and Insha Allah will continue to support your courageous policies. Few corrupt and illiterate senators and NA members are frightened by the great performance of HEC. Please never give up and don’t let them play with the feelings of this nation anymore. Supreme Court must take actions against such conspiracies happening against HEC.

During these times of extreme nepotism who will believe Chairman’s claims that all is well and that all news and reports appearing in media highlighting the ills of HEC are mere propaganda. The effort of the Chairman to defend HEC via this letter can easily be termed as failure as few, if any, would be convinced.
