@MAhmedhec Sir, the academicians demand approval of promotion policy as per the agreements of HEC and APUBTA.

[Sami Ur Rahman @PresidentApubta]

@MAhmedhec The National Assembly Special Committee in its meeting held on July 26, 2023 has directed HEC to notify the promotion policy for BPS faculty immediately. Implementation of the directives of the parliamentary committee will be a great appreciation for teachers.

[Engr.Dr.Hafsa Jamshaid @JamshaidHafsa]

We request for service structure of BPS university teachers as per HEC Ordinance.

Within just two issues published in 2023, the journal published over dozen papers authored by 55 Pakistani academics and researchers including professors, associate professors, and lecturers. Greed of promotions trashed their papers. https://t.co/3NJOPDO95x

@IamShahidAzam (q)provide guidelines as regards minimum criteria and qualifications for appointment, promotion; salary structure in consultation with the Finance Division and other terms and conditions of service of faculty for adoption by individual Institutions and review its implementation;

[Sami Ur Rahman @PresidentApubta]

HEC is designing policies for undergraduate and graduate programs under section 10(1)(v) of the HEC ordinance but it is reluctant to design policy for service structure under section 10(1)(q) for the faculty. Is HEC not willfully failing to implement section 10 (1) (q)?

[Sami Ur Rahman @PresidentApubta]

Is HEC not biased with the 40,000 BPS faculty working in public sector universities?

There is a need to stop further experimentation with the future of thousands of teaching staff in Higher Education Institutions. Give them requisite grants and the right to promotion for teachers.

To be a supervisor of PhD researcher, an individual shall have passed self-paced courses, either designed by National Academy of Higher Education (NAHE) or by the University to train PhD degree holders to supervise MS/MPhil/Equivalent and PhD researchers.

*HEC’s new GRADUATE EDUCATION POLICY 2023*
https://t.co/2eyCOR2rLL
A policy document drafted by some inexperienced person(s). The universities need to be careful in adopting this policy.

[Sami Ur Rahman @PresidentApubta]

Criteria to be a PhD supervisor. For foreign PhDs: The PhD degree must be obtained from the top 500th universities. Thousands of Universities are offering doctoral degrees. But graduates from only top 500 will be eligible to supervise PhD degree according to this policy.

[Sami Ur Rahman @PresidentApubta]

Conferment of Course based MS/MPhil degree:
The basic purpose of the policy is to promote research culture. However, the policy also has the option to confer MS degree based on course work only. The policy does not define the objective/purpose of course based MS/MPhil degree.

[Sami Ur Rahman @PresidentApubta]

Grant of MS degree based on fulfillment of requirements during PhD studies.
This is not clear why an MS degree would be granted although the same student has already an MS degree (which is requirement for admission in PhD).

[Sami Ur Rahman @PresidentApubta]

Four research articles are required for admission in PhD, two research articles are required for award of PhD.
