Higher education in Pakistan is the systematic process of students continuing their education beyond high schools, learned societies, and two-year colleges. The governance of higher education is maintained under the Higher Education Commission (HEC) which oversees the financial funding, research outputs, and teaching quality in the country. In Pakistan, the higher education system includes the public, private, military, and vocational universities, all accredited by the HEC.
