The higher education sector in Pakistan is facing a critical issue, with 65 universities across the country currently operating without permanent vice-chancellors.
The situation is especially dire in Punjab, where 29 universities are functioning without a permanent vice-chancellor. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) faces similar challenges, with 22 universities lacking permanent leadership.
Meanwhile, Balochistan and Sindh have five and three universities, respectively, without a vice-chancellor in place.
