Professor Dr. Zia-ul-Qayyum, a very smart education expert, is now the top boss at the Higher Education Commission forever!
The new big boss at the Higher Education Commission is Professor Dr. Zia-ul-Qayyum! He used to lead Gujarat University and Allama Iqbal Open University. He’s super good at education and running things, and now he’s the permanent Executive Director.
Apparently, a special group looked at 18 people for a job. Dr. Zia-ul-Qayyum did the best and got 72 points! That means he’s the most ready for the job of Executive Director.
They made a special team to find the best person. The team had important people from the Higher Education Commission, someone filling in for the boss, the Science and Technology Secretary, the Federal Education Secretary, and a big education expert.
After looking really hard at all the good people who wanted the job, the HEC Board said yes to Dr. Zia-ul-Qayyum being the Executive Director.
The boss job at HEC was temporary for a while, starting from October 2018. Now, with this new person coming in, it’s finally a permanent job, and the temporary part is all done.
They think that with Dr. Mukhtar Ahmed leading the HEC and Dr. Zia-ul-Qayyum joining in, things will get even better at the Higher Education Commission. People who know a lot about education are excited and hopeful about how things will keep getting better with both of them working together.
