Fee waiver package for FATA, Baluchistan, GB students
Ashraf Ansari
IslamabadThe federal government has decided to pay tuition fee for Masters, M. Phil and PhD students in reputable universities inside Pakistan under Prime Ministers Tuition Fee Payment Scheme, belonging to Balochistan, Gilgit-Baltistan and FATA.
An amount of Rs. 500 million has been allocated for current financial year 2012-13. It was announced at the first meeting of Steering Committee of the scheme held under the chairmanship of Secretary Ministry of Education and Trainings, Qamar Zaman Chaudhary. The meeting was attended by Executive Director HEC Prof. Dr. Sohail H. Naqvi.
Under this innovative and special scheme, along with tuition fee, the federal government would pay other academic, incidental, or mandatory fees charged by educational institutions as one-off or on a per semester basis of masters, M.Phil and PhD students belonging to Balochistan, FATA (enrolled at KPK and FATA institutions) and Gilgit/Baltistan.
The scheme is focused on enhancing opportunities for access to higher education especially to talented but financially constrained students belonging to remote and far flung areas of the country who despite possessing academic merit, are unable to finance their education. It was also agreed that the fee disbursement would be ensured through a transparent and well defined mechanism.
The students having valid domicile/local certificate of Balochistan, FATA and Gilgit/Baltistan and enrolled on merit in the higher education institutions located in the territory of Balochistan, FATA and Gilgit/ Baltistan, would be considered eligible. In addition, the students belonging to FATA and enrolled at the higher education institutions of KPK province,would also be considered eligible.
The scheme would be executed by Higher Education Commission HEC. The tuition fee would be paid through HEC and lists of enrolled students would be collected form the respective universities and Postgraduate colleges.
The scheme would be introduced initially for five (5) years, beginning in FY 2012-13, with the provision that those students who join the scheme in the last year, i.e. FY 2016-17, would continue to be funded until they complete their academic program.
The federal cabinet approved the Tuition Fee Payment Scheme for the students of Balochistan, FATA and Gilgit Baltistan during Financial Year 2012-13. The vice chancellors, academic circles and parents appreciated the new initiative announced by the Prime Minister for the students belonging to hard and remote areas of the country.
