KARACHI:
Holding her plastic folder in hand and waiting in line for her turn to submit some forms at University of Karachi’s silver jubilee gate section, Kiran Fatima reveals that she was in shock when she learned that the Higher Education Commission (HEC) had closed down two-year degree programmes. Fatima who has already appeared in part one of her BA degree now considers her future to be in shambles as her plans to do an MA after completing her BA and then help financially support her widowed mother seem all but derailed for now.
