The Higher Education Commission (HEC) has decided to hire individuals with master’s degrees as College Teacher Interns (CTIs) rather than recruiting regular lecturers, according to a report on Wednesday.
A summary has been submitted for approval, with plans to appoint CTIs for eight months.
These interns will receive a monthly stipend of Rs50,000, and the recruitment process is anticipated to begin next month.
However, the department will not be hiring regular lecturers through the Public Service Commission, which could create challenges for many unemployed master’s degree holders.
