Substandard varcities main hurdle to quality
KARACHI, Feb 6(The News): The Higher Education Commission (HEC) Chairman and federal minister
Prof Attaur Rehman has said that the HEC was facing three big challenges- poor
quality of education, a very small percentage of students having access to
higher education and relevance of higher education and said that all these
challenges could not be met by mushroom growth of substandard universities.
He said this while addressing a ceremony of health care professionals
who completed one-year diploma programme in Biomedical Ethics at the Centre of
Biomedical Ethics and Culture (CBEC), Sindh Institute of Urology and
Transplantation (SIUT) Karachi.
He congratulated the graduating
professionals and praised the work of CBEC and SIUI. Referring to the work of
Prof Adibul Hasan Rizvi, he said that it requires hard work and dedication to
achieve success in building institutions.
He also talked about the
upcoming nine universities which would work in collaboration with foreign
universities. He said the SIUT started its post graduation programme with
Masters in Surgery in 1987 and this programme was continued and now there were
12 post graduates in Urology and Nephrology and the credit goes to the
dedication and hard work of the entire team of SIUT.
He praised the
efforts of Dr Farhat Moazzam, who had begun her career as a General Surgeon and
later voluntarily entered the field of Ethics and is now the only qualified
Ethicist in Pakistan.
