Growth yes, but quality no. The top institutions in Pakistan, they are all pre-1999.
what on earth you are talking about! name one internationaly reputed university ANYWHERE in the world which achieved the quality standard/repute within few years of it's formation!
The issue here is yes, there are greater number of universities and institutions now in Pakistan; as for the quality, it WILL improve with time. Most of these institutions haven't held their 1st graduation ceremany yet, for crying out loud.
Lets not loose objectivity here, just because you dun like the person who was ruling at that time. Don't you think greater number higher education institutes will increase opportunites for highly qualified professionals in these institutes and on day they will improve their quality as well.
ADDENDUM: some of these institutes are paying 200 - 300 K per month to right candidates, which is enough to encourage our fresh talent graduating or completeing their doctrates abroad to go back to Pakistan. Some of very skilled people I know moved back to Pakistan and they are happy with it.
