ISLAMABAD: The Higher Education Commission (HEC), in its ongoing crackdown against the illegal and fake educational institutes, has closed down 154 such institutes across the country, putting the future of thousands of students at stake. The three illegal institutes operating in Islamabad were Islamabad Law College, Modern Institute of Informatics and Management and Mohiuddin Islamic University. On the other hand, an official in the HEC, while justifying the action, said that these institutes were given repeated warnings beforehand. “HEC is regularly informing students and their guardians through advertisements in print media to not take admission in these institutions. Ayesha claimed that HEC periodically highlights the issue, and as a result, there is an increased awareness among parents and students.
