Abstract
Numerous changes have recently taken place in the domain of higher education. Most of these changes have led to intense debate between forces pushing them and those resisting them. In Pakistan too, there is currently a passionate and ongoing discussion between the Higher Education Commission, which is the main instrument for these reforms, and several academics who are challenging its agenda. In this paper we argue that these changes are best understood in a global perspective, especially in relation to the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS), which aims to end all public subsidies for education. Through various reforms, the educational sector of Pakistan and many other countries is coming to be more closely integrated with a global market in education. Here we explain how and why this is happening, as well as what its consequences are.
