5.1
The Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan says 71 Balochistan students have won scholarships under the Law Graduate Scholarships Programme to study abroad, the initiative launched in 2018–19 at the prime minister's direction to strengthen the province's judicial system. To date 56 scholars have completed degrees and 15 are studying; 465 applied for the latest round after a mid‑February aptitude test and applications are under scrutiny.
Key Points
- 1Awarded 71 scholarships to law students from Balochistan since 2018–19
- 2Addressed shortage of senior lawyers after 2016 attack, strengthening provincial judiciary capacity
- 3Enables 56 graduates and 15 current scholars to gain legal expertise at national or international institutions
Scoring Rationale
Official HEC update confirms program progress, but provincial scholarship news has limited relevance beyond legal education stakeholders.
