ISLAMABAD: The federal government has allocated Rs. 1.97 billion under the upcoming Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP) 2025-26 for the “Pak-UK Education Gateway” initiative.
The program, developed through a partnership between the Higher Education Commission (HEC) and the British Council, is designed to strengthen academic and research ties between universities in Pakistan and the United Kingdom.
The “Pak-UK Education Gateway” supports initiatives such as:
- Joint degree programs
- Collaborative research grants
- Faculty development
- Higher education policy reforms
These efforts are part of a broader strategy to bring Pakistan’s higher education system closer to international standards.
This funding news comes just a day before the official Federal Budget 2025-26 is due to be presented. It reflects the government’s commitment to expanding learning opportunities and supporting students seeking access to quality education abroad.
