3. INTRODUCTION
It is an established fact that there is a direct correlation between knowledge capital
and economic development. Pakistan to become an emerging power needs to
enhance its intellectual capital and transform into a knowledge-based economy. The
strategic framework for meeting the contemporary and future challenges as defined
in “Vision 2025” of Government of Pakistan, acknowledge the importance of
globalization and dispersion of information and technology, which are likely to
dramatically change the scale and character of human enterprise. Universities and
institutes of higher learning are envisioned to build economies through providing
knowledge capital. HEC adopts the strategy targeted at the provision of an
environment conducive to quality education in all the higher education institutions
through faculty and infrastructure development. One of the major challenges being
faced by the higher education sector across the country, is access opportunities to
higher education and so to increase the enrolment in higher education from 5.8% to
RFP Provision of Wireless Broad Band Internet Service under the “Prime Minister’s Laptops Scheme
9
10% by 2015 and 15% by 2020, as per National Education Policy 2009. HEC
encourages cost-effective and widespread dissemination of knowledge through the
use of educational technologies and distance education so that far-flung areas are
covered while simultaneously ensuring that quality standards are not compromised.
The demographic transition being experienced, poses another challenge to equip our
youth with the knowledge and skills necessary for development in the 21st century.
The fact that Pakistan is on a favorable portion of the demographic transition can
prove to be a demographic dividend, however if left alone, poses serious threats in
form on an illiterate and intolerant population.
A good progress has been made in higher education sector in Pakistan, and
significant transformations have taken place as to come out as one of the dynamic
sectors which is rapidly evolving and developing the capacity of HEIs to serve as
engines of growth in country’s socio-economic development. Despite of these
progress and positive change as well as potential which is widely acknowledged, the
higher education sector of Pakistan faces numerous challenges and issues, like poor
university – industry interactions, poor university – community relationship, low
enrolment, lack of capacity for continuous faculty and staff development, are amongst
the few. Strategic vision of HEC for higher education realizes that key to overcome
many of the current and future challenges, is to invest significantly in the Information
and Communication Technologies (ICTs), as witnessed in many emerging
economies around the world. Modern information and communication technologies
are key to enhancing efficiency, efficacy and impact of programs of development in
the higher education sector. Using distance education and open learning, affiliating
universities must leverage ICTs to play a major role in improving quality and widening
access to higher education in Pakistan.
Realizing these challenges and the opportunities and strengths this country
possesses, the Government of Pakistan as per the directives of the Prime Minister
launched National Program for Provision of Laptops for the bright and talented young
students studying at any of the public sector higher education institute or Government
Polytechnic Institutes across the country. The scheme is envisioned to promote
outreach of youth to information and communication technologies (ICTs) as to bridge
the digital divide not only within the higher education sector but across other sectors
as well, and to the communities throughout the country. Under this scheme, the first
phase has been successfully executed and 100,000 wireless broad band service
along with laptops were provided to talented students acquiring higher education at
any of the public sector higher education institutes (HEIs) and Government
Polytechnic Institutes. The Higher Education Commission has been given the
responsibility of program designing, implementation of scheme, and execution of the
project. HEC now intends to launch the next phase of the scheme under which
200,000 laptops are to be given to the students as per the criteria along with a
Wireless Broadband dongle device and 4G Services. The wireless broadband
