This survey is distillation of four months participant observation, informal exchanges, and formal interviews to explore higher education sector of Pakistan in the context of change, coping and learning. Popular literature on organizational change contends that organizations with proactive coping approaches consider “change management” as an integral ingredient of their culture to reap the benefits of the learning organization principles. Earlier researchers had paid scant treatment to this area as evident from the scarce published frameworks and empirical research in the domain of change management which warrants conducting exploratory studies. Inspired with the phenomenon of “change and learning” this preliminary exploratory study focuses on higher education sector of Pakistan and highlights how the public sector, semi government and private sector universities have addressed this challenge of change. For this study primary data was collected using semi-structured interviews supported by a questionnaire. However, some data from secondary sources has also been used as additional sources of information. The research argues theoretically and results reveal empirically that semigovernment and private sector faculty were on same page, as they have been found proactively coping the challenge of change as compared to the public sector. The research leaves the issues of job security and lack of proactivity in public sector for future researches.
