The Higher Education Commission and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to establish secure digital verification of academic credentials.
According to HEC, the MoU aims to set up secure API-based integration between the attestation systems of the two institutions, enabling direct and secure verification of HEC-attested credentials.
Executive Director HEC Prof Dr Zia Ul Haq and Foreign Secretary Asim Iftikhar Ahmad signed the MoU.
Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar and HEC Chairman Prof Dr Niaz Ahmad Akhtar witnessed the signing ceremony, along with senior representatives of both organisations.
The agreement includes safeguards for data sharing, confidentiality, cyber security and protection of personally identifiable information.
The initiative will benefit students and professionals by ensuring efficient, transparent and tamper-proof verification of degrees.
It will also reduce manual processes and enhance the credibility of Pakistani academic credentials abroad.
