There is no doubt that this world is a house of sorrow, but some
so-called people have made it more complicated. Employing the people is the
responsibility of the state and the most important pillar of this is education.
Unfortunately, under the noses of our rulers, some people are not only wasting
the nation's time but also taking the responsibility to upset the people. Think
about what would happen to a country whose chairman HEC could not employ its
Ph.D. doctors.

HEC scholarships
Higher education commission (HEC) of Pakistan initiated a program
named " The IPFP (Interim Placement of Fresh PhDs) in 2009, both to employ
fresh PhDs and support universities in attracting qualified PhDs. Initially,
the purpose of this program was to provide employment opportunities to all
Pakistani fresh Ph.D. graduates in the universities as Assistant Professors on
a tenure track system for one year. Also, to support the universities
especially those in remote areas, in attracting qualified Ph.D. scholars.
HEC Pakistan deluded the IFPF fellows that after one year or during
the tenure, the host university will advertise a post to absorb them. Do
universities follow the rest of the HEC rules that will follow?. The problem does not end here. In the
beginning, when the scheme was launched, HEC announced one lakh thirty thousand
salaries for Ph.D. doctors for one year and now after 8 years, the amount has
been reduced to only one lakh. IPFP budget has been reduced rather than
increased. The "HEC" says it has no money, which is why they took such a step. Is
this problem only for PhDs?.
To see this matter, you need to look at the top
management of this organization, how they interact with Ph.D. fellows, how they
made policies for higher studies, their eligibility at the positions, who
imposed them, how they progress, their loyalties in the past. Unfortunately,
some people do not want to see Ph.D. gentlemen up there because if the educated
people come up, then their provision will end. A few days ago, HEC took the IPFP
test and released the results with the birth dates of the female candidates who
took the test. From this, you can estimate the capability of people working in
HEC.
Questions
Is there any benchmark that confirms that after
completing a Ph.D. education, the candidate will have to pass B.ed or M.ed
exam?.
What HEC management thinks, a Pakistani
candidate who did a Ph.D. from MIT, Oxford, Imperial, etc, should come to
Pakistan for a job and will pass such nonsense hurdles?
Does HEC management know how many universities
in Pakistan rank top in research?
Does HEC management know how many universities
in Pakistan have had fake degree deans and chairmen?
Does HEC management verify their employees'
degrees?
Does someone interact and observe the behavior
of the Project Director of the IPFP program?
In short, there is a list of endless
questions.
Conclusion
Finally, it is very important to see who is
selling the problem. HEC infrastructural reforms are the dire need of the hour.
The HEC journey has always been a roller coaster ride. We have to protect Ph.D.
doctors and give them good jobs instead of wasting their time in nonsense
activities. Time is money. Adjust them as soon as you can, the time is not far
when Ph.D. doctors will be rolling around like MSc students. HEC has to keep an
eye on universities that are producing machine-like Ph.D. doctors. Testing a
Ph.D. candidate after PhD will restrict the intelligent minds studying in abroad. The
importance of HEC scholarships cannot be negated. The HEC Pakistan should start this practice during Ph.D. research.
