The governance of higher education is maintained under the Higher Education Commission (Pakistan) (HEC), which oversees the financial funding, research outputs, and teaching quality in the country.<ref>{{cite web|title=HEC Ordinance, 2002|url=http://www.hec.gov.pk/MediaPublication/HECPublication/Documents/455_HECOrdinance.pdf|access-date=11 January 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111017045657/http://www.hec.gov.pk/MediaPublication/HECPublication/Documents/455_HECOrdinance.pdf|archive-date=17 October 2011}}</ref> In Pakistan, the higher education system includes the public, private and military universities accredited by the HEC. Since independence, new universities have expanded throughout the country with support provided by the University Grants Commission (UGC), which had been an autonomous institution of recognizing universities until 2002, when it was replaced by the Higher Education Commission. As of 2024, 262 universities are providing higher education in Pakistan, which produce about 445,000 graduates and 50,000 computer science graduates annually.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.dawn.com/news/609563/towards-e-learning|title=Towards e-learning|first=From|last=InpaperMagazine|date=February 28, 2011|website=DAWN.COM}}</ref> Following public and private higher education institutions are active in the country:[[File:Punjab University.jpg|alt=View of Punjab University|thumb|The University of the Punjab, established 1882, is one of the oldest modern universities in Pakistan.]] == Islamabad == {{Excerpt|List of universities in Islamabad|List of universities}} {{static row numbers}}
