Pakistan Task Force on Higher Education envisions
Pakistani institutions to be world class seats of learning and
advancement of knowledge, in order to create a modern, progressive,
tolerant, and prosperous society that values the dignity of labour,
craftsmanship, spirit of inquiry, critical thinking, and public duty. The
prerequisite for materializing this vision, a revitalized research culture
is required at higher education institutions in Pakistan which would
work as a knowledge vehicle to guarantee nation‟s multidimensional
success in all walks of life. Although research is a compulsory
component of many higher education degree programmes in Pakistan,
the findings of interview based study, conducted on 60 teachers and 80
students of four public and private sectors degree awarding institutions
in Lahore, manifest, that it could not be exploited to the maximum
because of the barriers like lack of initiative from the teachers and
students as they are engaged in research under compulsion, the often
repeated topics for research to avoid effort and exercise of inquiry
skills, and scarcity of reference material and resources. Hence, the
study recommends that in order to concretize the HEC vision and
MDGs in true spirit, there should be more moral and material support
from the HEC and concerned administration and importance of
research should be properly propagated in circles of learning so that a
knowledge sharing culture may be promoted, and the teachers‟ and
students‟ inquiry skills should be polished so that we, as a nation, may
develop creative competence to meet the challenges of the new
millennium.
