Our permanent faculty has nearly doubled over the last year- with permanent teaching staff reaching above 100 faculty members. The total number of PhDs’ in the Faculty now number 20 and we are constantly looking for bright new faculty to add to our teaching resources. In order to strengthen the academic testing process the Lahore School has implemented the decisions taken at the Vice- Chancellors Meeting in summer 2006 that each graduating students present a final research project which will be examined by an external examiner. This will be effective from this Academic Year (2006-7). This research effort has been entrusted to our Centre for Research which now has 12 full time faculty including 7 PhD’s and its own academic block.”
Lahore School has added another 12 auditoriums at the Main Campus bringing total seating capacity to 1500 students at one time and more libraries that makes Lahore School’s Burki Campus a serious and pleasant academic environment.
“The Lahore School of Economics also has endeavored to strengthen its research capacity by holding an Annual Conference on the Management of the Pakistan Economy. Our first two conferences were a major success and the third conference on “second Generation Economic Reforms Sustaining Growth and Equitable Development” will be held on May 2-3, 2007. The Lahore School’s academic journal in Pakistan today- as judged by the Higher Education Commission – and we want to thank its Editors and Advisory Board for their excellent efforts in this regard. The Research Centre and the Lahore School’s entire Faculty will have their own research efforts strengthened by working with students on their final research projects,” added the Rector.
