A meeting of the search committee was held regarding the appointment of a permanent chairman of the Higher Education Commission (HEC) on Wednesday, while the federal secretary of Education Nadeem Mahbub has assumed the charge as acting HEC chairman. The meeting of the search committee, formed by the Prime Minister in Pakistan, was led by the Federal Minister of Education Dr. Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui and participated by committee members. The committee formally approved the advertising of the HEC chairman’s vacancy. According to sources, it was decided that advertising would not only be published in national newspapers, but also on international platforms to attract highly qualified and appropriate candidates from around the world. The committee also agreed to adopt a transparent and credit -based selection process. Nadeem Mahbub, appointed acting HEC chairman of the federal government, officially took responsibility. He was welcomed by the acting CEO of HEC and presented with a bouquet. Former HEC Chairman Dr. Mukhtar also welcomed Nadeem Mahbub and presented him to flowers. The previous HEC chairman has ended. Sources said the advertisement will be issued in the coming days, after which the control of eligible candidates will begin with a focus on profits, experience and international standards. The committee decided to give applicants four weeks to apply. The ad is published in local newspapers and on international job sites. According to the sources of the ministry, the position probably attracts domestic candidates as the salary and benefits offered to the HEC President’s post are not appealing enough for international applicants.
