🎓 A long-overdue win for Pakistan’s academic community.
University professors on the Tenure Track System had been working on frozen salaries since 2021, in the middle of rising inflation. The result? A growing risk of brain drain as top researchers and PhD holders look abroad.
Federal Minister Prof. Ahsan Iqbal took direct notice, constituting a Special Task Force to recommend competitive, market-aligned pay scales for top-tier faculty.
The recommendations have been approved.
This move reflects a clear policy conviction: you cannot build a knowledge economy without investing in those who build knowledge.
Under PM Shehbaz Sharif’s quality education vision, every rupee spent on education is an investment in Pakistan’s future.
