Innovative Teaching Practices: An Investigation of HEC andObstacles in Pakistan's Higher Education System till 2012

Abstract

This paper presents a brief about the establishment of HEC in Pakistan, the challenges it faced and recommendations for its further strengthening. It covers analysis and challenges which were faced by HEC since its establishment till the year 2012. The paper concluded that the country was already dealing with several issues throughout the decade under review, including terrorism, corruption, energy shortages, etc. The disintegration of HEC would turn out to be a negative sign. When comparing HEC’s shortcomings and accomplishments, it becomes clear that the organization has made significant strides and has shown itself to be a reliable entity. Its disintegration overnight would turn out to be a massive devastation. Moreover, working at various educational levels concurrently was crucial because, if postsecondary education was necessary to achieve economic growth, then elementary and secondary education was crucial for social
development and strengthening the foundation of education.
