The Higher Education Regulatory Authority (HERA) is an independent and impartial Regulatory Authority for Private Sector Universities /Institutes and colleges. It derives its authority from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Registration and Functioning of Private Educational Institutions Ordinance 2001. HERA is committed to both encouraging the highest standards of education offered by Private Sector Educational Institutions and providing prospective students and their parents with an invaluable guide to quality in an often complex sector. Our efforts are to pass judgement on educational institutions, but also to nurture their attempts to raise standards and the quality of education for all.
