The Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan has finalized a major initiative to modernize the country’s degree attestation system through the use of blockchain technology. This upgrade is designed to make academic verification faster, more secure, and fully transparent, addressing long-standing issues of manual delays and the risk of document forgery.
By integrating blockchain, degree records will become instantly verifiable in real time, providing enhanced authenticity for students, employers, and international institutions. The system will allow stakeholders to confirm credentials reliably, reducing bureaucratic hurdles and improving confidence in Pakistan’s higher education credentials. This move represents a significant step toward digital transformation in the country’s education sector, aligning Pakistan with global standards in academic verification and record-keeping.
