KARACHI:


The modalities to appoint vice chancellors of the universities in a transparent manner and to improve the standard of education were the matters discussed at a high-level meeting held at the Chief Minister's House on Friday.


The meeting was held under the supervision of Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah.  After the threadbare discussion, it was decided that the government would float advertisement in newspapers to invite candidates and ensure nomination for the posts are made purely on a competitive and merit basis.


The participants also discussed the need to evolve a strategy to facilitate academic faculties and provide better educational facilities to students in the province.


The chief minister directed the officials to suggest ways to enable students to tackle universal challenges with success. The CM urged academicians and students to work on their performance. The meeting was attended by Principal Secretary to CM Naveed Kamran Baloch, Special Secretary Education Nazir Jamali, Secretary Implementation Riaz Memon and Advocate General Sindh Barrister Khalid Javed.
