Pakistan’s romance with western academia Experts urge universities to prioritise local doctorate-holders instead of relying on foreign lecturers KARACHI: For private universities across the country, any association to the western world can often be the brightest feather they can pin to their caps. By virtue of which, foreigners routinely journey to Pakistan, where their services are hankered after in the local academia. Once here, the possibilities are assumed to be endless. Climbing the professional ladder, claim local pedagogues, is relatively easier for those who come from the global north. Foreigner mediocrity is prioritised over native excellence in Pakistan, believes Karachi University’s former vice chancellor, Dr Pirzada Qasim. “If it is a western name like Edward on the resume, the person’s academic repertoire turns secondary in the eyes of the hiring managers,” he opined with conviction.
