Quality Resources: Pakistan

On this page, you will find a collection of quality resources from Pakistan.

Introduction

Pakistan has adopted distance learning, driven by the government’s emphasis on modernizing education and expanding access to quality education. Quality standards are enforced through the Higher Education Commission’s policies to ensure the credibility and effectiveness of distance learning programs.

Online and Distance Learning (ODL) Policy

This policy sets minimum quality standards under which universities, other than those that specialize in distance education, would be allowed to offer education through online and distance learning modes. The ultimate objective is to protect the interest of students while providing them with an opportunity to access affordable educational resources.

Clarification: This policy does not obligate every university to provide online and distance education but provides the policy framework for those universities wanting to use those modes, in addition to their offerings in the traditional in-person mode.
