The Higher Education Commission’s (HEC)<\/a> current budget for the fiscal year 2024\u20132025 has been cut by the federal government from Rs. 65 billion to Rs. 25 billion. Furthermore, only federal universities have been granted access to this decreased budgetary allocation.<\/p>\n

The Federal Higher Education Commission would no longer subsidise public universities in the provinces under the new agreement. Provinces will now be in charge of funding their universities.<\/p>\n

Initially, the Higher Education Commission had asked for Rs. 126 billion to fund more than 160 public universities across the country. But the HEC’s development budget was cut by the Planning Commission from Rs. 59 billion to Rs. 21 billion.<\/p>\n

Provinces have been instructed to get money for their individual universities independently, per a letter from the Finance Ministry.<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Finance has confirmed receiving letters from HEC<\/a> Chairman Dr. Mukhtar on the lowering of the Planning Commission’s development budget as well as the recurring grant. He voiced worries about the likely detrimental effects this might have on academic institutions.<\/p>\n

He continued by saying that he is addressing this matter in letters to the prime minister and the minister of finance. He emphasised that the budget for HEC was reduced to Rs. 25 billion from Rs. 65 billion in 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
