Fake degrees

The fake degree case has again led to an employee-termination spree within the airline

KARACHI: With a very bad kind of managerial crisis and intense competition, the national airline is in the news yet again, for wrong reasons. The fake degree case has again led to an employee-termination spree within the airline. Not just PIA, fake degree holders are hired in government offices across the country primarily due to weak degree and credentials’ verification process. Only if the hirers do proper scrutiny and verification of academic documents and hire people only on merit, terminations for such reasons would not be needed ever.

It tarnishes the image of the airline that its staffers and pilots instead of being those rigorously trained are found to possess fake degrees.
