Working Group demands fresh Chairperson for Sindh Higher Education Commission
ISLAMABAD,(MILLAT ONLINE):Showing serious concerns over recent re- appointment of Dr Asim Hussain as Chairperson Sindh Higher Education Commission (SHEC), the Working Group on Higher Education Reforms has demanded for fresh appointment of new provincial chief through transparent and merit based competitive process.
In a statement issued here Monday, they said that after the 18th Constitutional Amendment, higher education has become provincial subject.
It is the duty of respective provincial governments to cater the growing needs of universities in effective way.
It would be only possible if transparency and merit based appointments would be ensured and culture of adhocism and extension would be discouraged both by respective provincial and federal governments.
They also demanded to Chief Minister Sindh to appoint academicians at key posts in provincial HEC through merit based selection process.
They said that this important provincial body would play its facilitative and supportive role for improving the state of higher education in the province.
The working group also emphasized over establishment of inter provincial higher education forum to share expertise and experience in higher education sector.
