LAHORE: The Federation of All Pakistan Universities Academic Staff Association (FAPUASA) has condemned HEC for writing a letter to the universities to stop 2-year BA/BSc and MA/MSc programme from 2018 and 2020.

In a joint statement FAPUASA Central President Dr Hamayoun Khan, Central General Secretary Dr Mahboob Hussain and Presidents of Punjab, KPK and Islamabad chapters have said the decision would affect thousands of regular and private students.

They said keeping in view the ground realities some departments, especially social sciences disciplines, have reverted back to the annual system from the semester system. Under such circumstances, the recent decision of the HEC would affect social sciences negatively, he said.
