Madad Ali Sindhi, the acting minister for federal education and professional training, informed the Senate on Tuesday that several private universities were previously permitted to operate around the nation while the education sector was neglected. In response to several follow-up queries during Q&A, he mentioned that certain universities were merely a few rooms big. Improving the calibre and standard of education is the chairman of the Higher Education Commission’s mandate, he stated. The minister responded to a query by saying that Ms Lubna Said, a Pakistan Administrative Services officer working in BPS-19, has been appointed to the open position of Pakistan’s deputy permanent delegate to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) in Paris.
