He then elaborated that the educational reforms that the Ministry endeavors to make for 2019-2020 academic year have been practiced by Komar University from the beginning of its establishment and hence it is not in need of such reforms; on the contrary, it can be followed as a good example to make educational reforms in the public and some private universities as well.
