The Ministry of Federal Education & Professional Training has intensified its efforts to select a new Chairperson for the Higher Education Commission (HEC), emphasizing merit, transparency, and urgency throughout the process. Senior officials, including Federal Minister Dr. Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui and Minister of State Wajiha Qamar, led the latest meeting as part of a continued search initiative, aiming to ensure strong and timely leadership for Pakistan\u2019s higher education sector.<\/p>\n
The committee\u2019s recent deliberations built on the outcomes of an earlier meeting, as participants reiterated their commitment to upholding institutional integrity and accelerating the appointment. The selection process, guided by input from top academic leaders and federal representatives such as Secretary Mr. Nadeem Mehbub, has progressed under the guiding principle of appointing a visionary candidate who can steer the HEC through future challenges and opportunities.<\/p>\n
Prior administrative milestones have positioned the committee for swift action. Approval from the Prime Minister was secured earlier in June, followed by the issuance of an official notification shortly thereafter. Officials underscored the urgency of the selection, acknowledging the pressing need to maintain continuity at the helm of the HEC and safeguard the stability of higher education governance in Pakistan.<\/p>\n
With time of the essence, the Ministry remains focused on completing the appointment process swiftly, ensuring that the transition is seamless and that the new Chairperson is positioned to advance the country’s education agenda without delay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
