What happened: On Wednesday, The Higher Education Commission (HEC) has announced that it will not recognize two-year bachelors’ degrees issued to students enrolled in such programmes after the 2018 academic year.
In this regard, the commission has written a letter to all public and private sector degree awarding institutions directing them to immediately stop such programmes
Back in 2019, the HEC had announced that they would replace the two-year BA/BSc programme with a new postsecondary programme to be called Associate Degree (AD) programmes. The notification had exclusively stated that the BA-BSc programmes would be discontinued soon.
