The College Education Department, Government of Sindh, has launched the ‘Strengthening and Digitization of the College Education Department’ project aimed at modernising governance, administration, and service delivery across public colleges in the province.
According to an official report today, a high-level review meeting was chaired by Secretary College Education Sindh, Nadeem ur Rehman Memon, to assess the project’s progress, implementation strategy, and various phases. The meeting was attended by Director General Monitoring, School Education and Literacy Department, Yaseen Qurban, Director General Colleges, Zahid Rajper, Director Development, Sajjad Abro, Regional Director Colleges, Gulab Rai, and other relevant officials.
During the briefing, participants were informed that the project seeks to further strengthen and integrate the Sindh Electronic Centralized College Admission Programme (SECCAP) to facilitate fully online admissions in public colleges across the province. The initiative will also introduce a Face Recognition Attendance System for students, teaching staff, and non-teaching employees.
In addition, comprehensive digital records and profiles of all employees will be developed, while human resource management processes will be automated. Pension and General Provident (GP) Fund management systems will also be digitized. Centralized dashboards will be established to enable effective monitoring of performance, attendance, financial affairs, and administrative activities throughout the department.
Addressing the meeting, Secretary College Education Sindh Nadeemur Rehman Memon said that the project represented a significant step towards transforming governance, transparency, accountability, and service delivery within the College Education Department.
He stated that the adoption of modern technology would not only improve administrative efficiency but also provide students, teachers, and employees with faster, more effective, and user-friendly services. He further noted that data-driven decision-making, improved human resource management and enhanced financial transparency would strengthen the overall performance of the department. The secretary directed officials to ensure the timely completion of every phase of the project so that public colleges across Sindh could be aligned with modern digital systems and the process of educational reforms could be accelerated and made more effective.
