The Chairman of the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan (HEC) Dr Tariq Banuri is set to address the issue of fake degrees in a live session on March 17, 2021.
During the session, Dr Banuri will not only inform and educate students about the issue of fake degrees but will also hold a live question-and-answer session for students.
According to a notification issued in this regard, the live session will start at 2pm and will be broadcast on edutv.hec.gov.pk, while students will be able to tweet their questions in real-time via Twitter edutv_hec.
A few days ago, the HEC had issued instructions for students regarding the attestation of laminated documents for authentication.
According to a notification, students who wished to get their documents attested from the HEC must not submit laminated or plastic-coated ones so that the commission could properly affix the stamps on the documents — a move which would differentiate fake documents from authentic ones.
