World Health Day 2011

Today on the World Health Day 2011,the Healthy,Wealthy and Wise people of Pakistan have two main issues of discontent...
1.HEC devolution
2.the governmental restrictions on the sports channel "Geo Super" a part of Pakistan's largest television and news network Geo/jang.

HEC is the Higher Education Commission(formerly the University grants commission) seems to have been established by some former government to check the spread of education in the country by regulating the universities and their curriculum and ,verifying and attesting the fake degrees for foreign scholarships and admissions in foreign educational institutions.

The government and the  parliament of Pakistan has already embarrassed itself and the  nation so much on the issue of fake degrees both from local and foreign universities that I don't think the already fed up nation would cry over HEC's devolution (multiplication) to the provinces. In fact I believe this constitutional change is being implemented on behest of the foreign donor agencies to save them from any future embarrassments on awarding scholarships ,grants to fake degree holders and institutions.And even if its not a bureaucratic maneuver to save face ...the devolution of a governing body for universities on provincial or regional level is justified on the basis of cultural diversity so far not recognized by the foreign donors and sponsors.
