Delay in appointment mars HEC's performance
Islamabad: Facing enormous administrative hurdles, the Higher Education Commission (HEC) continues
to work without its seven commission members for last eight months as the
summary sent in December 2010 for appointment of new members is yet to catch
attention of the prime minister, sources said here on Sunday. The
official data showed that HEC sent a summary last year to Prime Minister Syed
Yusuf Raza Gilani who is controlling authority for appointment of new members of
the commission to ensure smooth flow of administrative affairs. It
further stated that 21 nominations have been sent to the prime minister against
seven posts as it was the requirement to send three nominations against one
post. The sources claimed that absence of large number of members in the
commission is one of the main hurdles in timely appointment or promotion of
senior officials, approval of budget, recognition of new universities and
provision of funding to public and private sector universities. According
to composition and constitution of the commission as per HEC Ordinance No. LIII
of 2002, the commission members include the HEC chairperson; the education
secretary; the secretary information technology, the secretary scientific and
technology research division; four nominees of the provincial governments, one
from each of the provinces; ten members appointed in the manner specified in
sub-sections (3) and (4); and seven shall be persons of international eminence
and proven ability with significant contribution to higher education as teacher,
researcher or administrator provided that at least one of the members shall be a
women. A senior official said when it comes to provision of funds to
ongoing or new projects for public sector universities HEC finds it hard to
ensure minimum quorum of the commission required to approve funds for this
purpose. If one or two members do not attend meeting of the commission
then lack of minimum quorum leads to cancellation of various agenda items. There
is a dire need for appointment of new members to ensure administrative affairs
are run in a befitting manner, he said. The sources said there is no word
from the prime minister whether he intends to appoint new members or wants to
let HEC continue work in its present status. HEC Executive Director Dr.
Sohail Naqvi told this correspondent that they sent a summary for appointment of
seven commission members in December 2010 but we are still waiting for any kind
of response. He said all the administrative powers rest with the
commission members as they take key decisions during their periodical meetings,
adding the lack of quorum may put hurdles in smooth functioning of the
commission. Dr. Sohail Naqvi said there are number of new requests for
recognition of private universities and they are waiting for appointment of
commission members who would enjoy the powers to discuss and take decisions in
this respect.

Limited autonomy for KP colleges on cards
Peshawar: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has decided to award limited autonomy to public sector colleges in
the province to improve their performance. The initiative to declare public sector colleges as semi-autonomous bodies is
part of New Academic Model (NAM), being formulated by the higher education
department of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. "The government has planned to declare public
sector colleges as semi-autonomous so that their administrations can play a
major role in academic and administrative decisions," officials said.
They added that under the planned NAM, more administrative powers and
academic autonomy would be delegated to the administrations of colleges.
"The NAM has already been implemented in developed countries," officials at
higher education department said.
Presently state-run colleges are administratively and academically controlled
by the provincial government and public sector universities respectively.
"The universities and provincial government are autonomous in their decisions
regarding state-run colleges. They often take conflicting decisions and create
problems for the administrations of colleges," officials said.
The public sector universities have the power to design courses and conduct
examinations of the affiliated colleges. So far, universities have shown little
interest in courses development of colleges. "The courses of colleges have not
been changed during the last 30 years," they said, adding the changes were aimed
at bringing the education system at par with that of developed countries.
"The public sector colleges will get autonomy in designing courses in the
coming few months," said Prof Mohammad Tariq, Director Project Management Unit
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
He said that higher education department was also preparing a plan to enable
colleges to conduct their examinations.
After devolution of powers to college administrations, a unit of colleges on
district level would be formed for taking uniform decisions regarding
administrative and academic changes in the educational institutions, he
said.
Another department, named as Higher Education Council, would be established
at provincial level to give final approval to the changes in courses suggested
by the unit of colleges, he said.
Currently, public sector colleges are run under District Management Model, a
decades-old system having many flaws causing wastage of time even to solve a
small problem.
"Getting approval for anything in the existing system is a lengthy and
complicated process. A file is first sent from a college to directorate of
higher education and then to secretariat for official work. It takes months to
get the file signed," officials said.
They said that owing to the lengthy and complicated process the post of a
teacher, transferred to another college, remained vacant for months and precious
time of students was wasted.
"The transfers and leaves of teachers and other financial issues will be
decided by the college administration with little involvement of directorate and
secretariat of higher education, if NAM is introduced. It will help save the
precious time of teachers and students," they said. Dawn
