2. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The development of the HEC Medium Term Development Framework represents a year’s iterative effort to formulate a coherent strategy for higher education in Pakistan for the next five years. Contributions
by Anwar Amjad on IT Strategy, Ms. Noor Amna
Malik
on learning innovation, Dr. M. Latif on Research and Innovation, Zia
Batool on Quality Assurance, Jalil Ahmed on Monitoring and development requirement projections and Khwaja Zahid on Finance, formed the core of the initial document compiled by Ms. Uzma Naz. Determination of targets for each section was the combined effort of the Tertiary Education Support Program
Junior Team including Samar,
Aneela, Afeefa, Humaira, Raza, Rizwan and Wajiha. It started outwith each division of
HEC drafting a section of the strategy that pertained
to the work of that division, however, over multiple revisions the document morphed and evolved into one where it is difficult to ascertain the ownership of any particular paragraph. Subsequently various draft versions of the document were shared with all Vice Chancellors and external experts. The input of all is gratefully acknowledged. Members of the Higher Education Commission provided valuable inputs especially with respect to financial resources required over the next five years.
Chairman HEC, Dr. Javaid R. Laghari provided extensive guidance and comments on the strategy of Universities Building Economies with Innovation as the key driver. Dr. Riaz
Qureshi, Dr. Khwaja Azam Ali and Dr. SM. Raza read the draft document cover to cover and provided detailed comments which were instrumental in bringing this document to its final shape. The efforts of all are gratefully acknowledged.
