The higher education commission (HEC) has taken a series of measures to improve higher education quality. The latest alert issued by the higher education watchdog on Wednesday for prospective university students is a continuation of the same effort.
In a recent tweet by the Higher Education Commission Pakistan, students were issued a warning to avoid fake degrees and non-registered educational institutions imparting low-quality education, two of the main issues that continue to plague higher education in Pakistan.

This alert brings about much concern that many degree programs are being offered without the appropriate accreditation. The non-recognition of the graduating students harms their future and ends up leaving them stranded in the job market.
