The Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan has announced the adoption of updated curricula for Political Science, Islamic Studies, Remote Sensing & GIS, and Architecture. These revisions were overseen by National Curriculum Review Committees (NCRCs), comprising esteemed professors, senior faculty, scholars, and industry experts. According to a press release issued by HEC on Monday, these updates aim to elevate academic standards, meet industry demands, and integrate emerging market trends into these disciplines.
Prof. Dr. Muqarrab Akbar chaired the NCRC for Political Science, Prof. Dr. Shah Mohyuddin Hashmi for Islamic Studies, Prof. Dr. Attaur Rahman for Remote Sensing & GIS, and Mohammad Arif Changazi for Architecture. HEC Deputy Director Hidayatullah Kasi facilitated these sessions as Secretary.
The revised curricula emphasize key aspects such as program nomenclature, eligibility criteria, program learning outcomes, course structures, learning objectives, degree requirements, and elective options to accommodate specialized areas in demand and align with international standards and local needs.
Each curriculum corresponds to levels 5, 6, and 7 of the National Qualifications Framework. HEC has urged universities to adopt these revised standards in the specified disciplines to ensure uniformity and quality in education across Pakistan.
