12,000 students receive PhD degrees during last decade: Senate body apprised
ISLAMABAD, Aug 08 (APP):The Senate Standing Committee on Federal Education and Professional Training was apprised on Thursday that over the last decade, 12,000 students have got PhD degrees from national and international universities of which 50 percent students were females.
The Higher Education Commission (HEC) officials briefed the Senate body which met here Thursday under the chairmanship of Raheela Magsi.
In the past, there has been a trend to give only degrees, instead of providing quality of education, but now HEC was focusing to improve the education quality at every level from undergraduate to Masters and PhD, the officials maintained. They added that, the research being done at different universities was incompatible with the existing society’s problems which were being sought while the Commission was stressing to make new research work practical based.
