Why Special Persons are neglected in PhD Admissions

Dear Laureate Folks,

Good Day!

Today's topic of discussion is " Why Special Persons are neglected in Ph.D. admission in public sector universities in Pakistan".


Let's get Writings.....

Recently, I have qualified HEC Ph.D. indigenous scholarship HAT with 50% marks. I urge to take admission in Ph.D. at IBA and IAS PU Lahore, I have also appeared in their departmental tests and secured good marks but they declared me ineligible?

A person already acquired his graduation and master's degrees from Punjab University Lahore on Disabled quota is now declined in Ph.D. admission? Even he has given additional tests after the HEC Ph.D. indigenous test. On inquiry to the Director of IBA PU, he has been replied that neither they accept the HEC indigenous Ph.D. test nor they consider any Disabled quota at the Ph.D. stage. Rather their condition is only to secure 70% marks in the test and compete with open merit with other normal students. Disappointed.....

While filling the online admission forms, we have been asked to fill in the required details if we are Disabled then why it's not being implemented in securing admission? In the advertisement about Ph.D. admission, it has been mentioned that priority will be given to those who have been qualified Ph.D. indigenous test then why denied to accept this result card? There are only 1% of students with disabilities who go for higher or post-graduation degrees and instead of encouragement, they have been kicked out? Special students already living dependent lives and only Education is the key for their survival, growth, and independence then why there are hurdles for them? Whosoever is responsible for the formation and implementation of education policies for persons with disabilities is deliberately neglecting us, why?

Above all the self-explanatory questions to the higher authorities like the directors of the institutions, the worthy Vice-Chancellor, The honorable Governor, The HEC, and the government officials. We are already facing many challenges and difficulties in our daily lives and only Education is our survival but sadly we have been continuously being neglected and ignored. We are currently more than 14% of the total population of Pakistan still we have been given no importance?

If this should be continued then who will rise and speak about this injustice? Who will become the voice of special persons in Pakistan? There should be someone who will bring these facts before social media. This is our right to speak against injustice and inequality.

We are disappointed, if no one will speak; Mushabbar will speak. Inshallah!

Blessings and Prayers 🙏
