Pakistan's Higher Education Commission faces serious problems that prevent it from doing its main job of improving university education. The organization suffers from poor management and bad decisions that have led it away from its original goals. Administrative failures continue to harm the commission's ability to help students and schools across the country.
The commission has started doing tasks that belong to universities instead of focusing on regulation. Staff members run laptop programs and career workshops rather than setting standards for higher education. This mission drift has created confusion about the organization's real purpose and responsibilities.
Government officials control the commission but lack proper training in education policy. Budget cuts since 2017 have made problems worse while leaders chase quick victories instead of long-term solutions. The commission must return to its core duties of supporting universities and improving student outcomes through better oversight and funding.
