Sindh HEC holds workshops on rankings
The Sindh Higher Education Commission (Sindh HEC) recently organised two workshops on Times Higher Education (THE) Impact Ranking which are global performance tables that assess the universities against the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
In his welcome address, Sindh HEC Chairman Prof Dr Tariq Rafi highlighted the importance of the THE Impact Ranking in fostering positive change through education and research.
Jinnah Sindh Medical University (JSMU) QEC Director Dr Muhammad Abdul Wahid Usmani said while speaking on the occasion, “Out of the 72 Pakistani universities who got a spot in Impact Ranking in 2023, there were only 16 universities from the province of Sindh. We are expecting a large number of universities in Sindh to be ranked in 2024 Impact ranking.”
The workshops, held at Karachi University’s International Center for Chemical and Biological Sciences (ICCBS), were attended by more than hundred Quality Enhancement Cell (QEC) officials from public and private sector universities in Sindh.
