On Wednesday, the Supreme Court ordered the Higher Education Commission (HEC) to close down unauthorized private university campuses across the country. In Lahore and Karachi, two private institutions have set up unlawful campuses. Students had filed a lawsuit against the HEC for failing to award degrees from these unlawful colleges.
According to the apex court, the HEC should make special arrangements for students who graduate from unlawful campuses and ensure that HEC laws are implemented consistently across the country.
The court stated, “There should be no compromise in delivering outstanding education to the country’s children.”
