LAHORE: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto has criticized the PTI-led federal government over a cut in the Higher Education Commission’s (HEC) funding.
The PPP Chairman took to Twitter today (Tuesday) and said, “Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf’s (PTI) consistent assault on HEC funding is having very real consequences at a time medical universities are at the frontline battling COVID-19 pandemic.”
Bilawal Bhutto further that the federal government had reduced HEC funding in the last budget and refused to significantly raise funding in this year’s budget too.
This means students fees will continue to shoot up & staff salaries will be cut, eventually some universities will be forced to shut. Shame on PTIs anti education agenda. They haven’t even botherd to suppor medical universities & teaching hospitals during a global pandemic. 2/2
