Accountability must be public and structural
Pakistan’s higher-education crisis is not confined to one campus. Studies show 22.9–35.6% of medical students report suicidal ideation, a figure that should trigger emergency governance responses. If learning environments are producing despair at this scale, oversight has failed.
Calls have rightly been made for a high-level probe by the Government of Punjab and the office of Maryam Nawaz Sharif. Any inquiry must be transparent, time-bound, and empowered to recommend binding reforms—not symbolic reprimands.
