When there was an issue of dissolution of HEC, everybody among the nation was against it. Most of them thought that as HEC is now verifying the degrees of PMA's and MNA's that is why the government wants it to dissolve. All the students were in favour of HEC and protested against the dissolution of it.
Once I was watching a talkshow on T.V related to this issue. The anchor person was telling that after 4 years of HEC came into work in Musharraf's reign, the education minister of India wrote a letter to the Prime minister of India that the the literacy rate of Pakistan plus the number of students getting education abroad has suddenly increased and if it goes the way its going, India will become far behind from Pakistan in science & technology very soon. I mean that's a big plus point of HEC.
Now coming to the other side, it is also said by Dr Hoodboy that HEC wasted millions of rupees in sending teachers abroad for Ph.D degree. Although it was a good idea but selection was not made on merit. HEC then recommended high salaries for such professors, which made higher eduction for students more expensive. Many professors produce only junk research and have poor teaching ability. It shows that HEC is not in clear position to stand. Although the overall results were good, but one will have to decide the future of HEC.
