'''Higher education in Pakistan''' is the systematic process of students continuing their education beyond [[secondary school]], learned societies and two-year colleges. 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 university|public]], [[Private university|private]] and [[Military academies|military]] universities accredited by the HEC.
