‘HEC regional offices being run on ad hoc basis’
Karachi
April 22, 2021
During the last three years in the federal Higher Education Commission (HEC), where the most important post of executive director (ED) has not been permanently filled, the regional offices in the provinces have also been run on an ad hoc basis, it has been learnt.
There is a mockery of merit as 17th grade assistant directors or 18th grade deputy directors have been appointed instead of 19th or 20th grade directors general or directors. According to details, Shafi-ur-Rehman, assistant director of Grade 17 in Regional Centre Peshawar, Ahsan Hameed, assistant director Grade 17 in Regional Centre Quetta, Hakeem Talpur, deputy director Grade 18 in Regional Centre Karachi, and Shehzad Abbasi at Regional Centre Lahore have been posted during last three years. The Bahawalpur sub office was closed last year.
