The entire nation is grieved because of terrorist attacks in past years and yesterday in which most of the innocent civilians had lost their lives and several injured.
I would like to aloft a very sensitive matter which was not yet discuss by the media and that is “How did the terrorists get the explosive?” I had many questions in my mind:-
1. Explosive manufacturers (Wah Nobels, GT Road, Wah Cantt) and they are supplying explosives for stone blasting to whole country. Are they supplying the explosive to right persons?
2. Which government agency is responsible to check Wah Nobels manufacturing and supplying?
3. There are many stone crushers in Margalla Hills and using the explosive provided by Wah Nobels. Are they keeping the record of used, stocked explosive and which government agency is verifying the records?
4. Most of the dumpers supplying crush to Islamabad from these crushers and no agency can certify that how many dumpers being driven by the Afghan drivers?
Our agencies give the information that 4 suicidal entered in Punjab two or three days before the attack but they can’t grab them. So above question indicates that yesterday and the previous blasts clearly shows that security laps of our all government agencies.

Asalaamu alaykum,
The situation in Pakistan is an emergency. 1.3 million people have fled the fighting in the volatile region, and there are fears that this number could rise to more than 2 million, these people have been forced to leave their homes, livelihoods, and any personal security they may have had. They have their faith, and they are no doubt praying for help. Will you be the vessel through which Allah answers their prayers?
In a highly volatile region where very few trust outsiders, Islamic Relief is on the ground and will be providing aid to those who need it. The displaced people need you to get them through this extremely difficult period. They urgently need food, shelter, and medical services.
The people of this region need you – will you answer their call? You can assist them just by placing banners on your site and encouraging your visitors to donate. If you can help, let me know what you need and I will send it over Insha’Allah.
Many thanks,
Raphael

Assessment in Education
There are several reasons for assessment in education. The data can support the quality monitoring process and demonstrate need for change. It also determines the level of comprehension or achievement of program content related to the objectives and goals of an educational activity. The following terms refer to the types of assessment in education.
Summative assessment: This is a type of assessment that is given at the end of an educational activity to evaluate participant learning – a summary of learning.
Formative assessment: This type of assessment is ongoing and evaluates learning progress at different intervals during an educational activity. The feedback is used to look at student learning and make changes in teaching techniques to increase the potential for learner success. Formative assessment can be a pilot or dry run of an activity or part of an ongoing program.
Assessment can take on many forms. The traditional type of assessment or test typically consists of a series of objective question formats such as true/false, multiple-choice, and matching. A subjective format allows an assessment of an item that may have more than one correct answer or way to answer including fill-in the blank, essay or short answer. A tool to assist in writing test questions is included in the tools area of this section.
Alternative assessments use various formats to assess integration of information. An alternative assessment may be project-based, a portfolio, Webquest, interview, or other activity.
The key to assessment is to remember that the content you are assessing must flow from the program goals and objectives. This further emphasizes the critical importance of well defined goals and objectives. Objective tests assess cognitive knowledge. Application of knowledge can be assessed to a certain degree with case studies or scenario based questions. Psychomotor skills are assessed with return demonstration, simulation or observed in an actual situation. The best assessment of learning takes place within the real world setting.
Some activities may benefit from an assessment rubric. A rubric is a tool that defines the criteria of what is important and relates it to level of quality or performance. It sets the expectations for successful achievement for the learner. It is a tool for the learner to use as a self-assessment and for the instructor to specifically identify areas that need improvement. A sample rubric is included as a tool in this section.
Abdul Waheed Qureshi
Successful operation of an educational institution requires competent administrators. Education administrators provide instructional leadership and manage the day-to-day activities in schools, preschools, day care centers, and colleges and universities. They also direct the educational programs of businesses, correctional institutions, museums, and job training and community service organizations. (College presidents and school superintendents are covered in the Handbook statement on general managers sssssEducation administrators set educational standards and goals and establish the policies and procedures to achieve them. They also supervise managers, support staff, teachers, counselors, librarians, coaches, and other employees. They develop academic programs, monitor students’ educational progress, train and motivate teachers and other staff, manage career counseling and other student services, administer recordkeeping, prepare budgets, and perform many other duties. They also handle relations with parents, prospective and current students, employers, and the community. In an organization such as a small day care center, one administrator may handle all these functions. In universities or large school systems, responsibilities are divided among many administrators, each with a specific function.
Educational administrators who manage elementary, middle, and secondary schools are called principals. They set the academic tone and actively work with teachers to develop and maintain high curriculum standards, develop mission statements, and set performance goals and objectives. Principals confer with staff to advise, explain, or answer procedural questions. They hire, evaluate, and help improve the skills of teachers and other staff. They visit classrooms, observe teaching methods, review instructional objectives, and examine learning materials. Principals must use clear, objective guidelines for teacher appraisals, because pay often is based on performance ratings.
Principals also meet and interact with other administrators, students, parents, and representatives of community organizations. Decision-making authority has increasingly shifted from school district central offices to individual schools. School principals have greater flexibility in setting school policies and goals, but when making administrative decisions they must pay attention to the concerns of parents, teachers, and other members of the community.
Preparing budgets and reports on various subjects, including finances and attendance, and overseeing the requisition and allocation of supplies also is an important responsibility of principals. As school budgets become tighter, many principals have become more involved in public relations and fundraising to secure financial support for their schools from local businesses and the community.
Principals must take an active role to ensure that students meet national, State, and local academic standards. Many principals develop partnerships with local businesses and school-to-work transition programs for students. Increasingly, principals must be sensitive to the needs of the rising number of non-English speaking and culturally diverse student body. In some areas, growing enrollments also are a cause for concern because they lead to overcrowding at many schools. When addressing problems of inadequate resources, administrators serve as advocates for the building of new schools or the repair of existing ones. During summer months, principals are responsible for planning for the upcoming year, overseeing summer school, participating in workshops for teachers and administrators, supervising building repairs and improvements, and working to make sure the school has adequate staff for the school year.
Schools continue to be involved with students’ emotional welfare as well as their academic achievement. As a result, principals face responsibilities outside the academic realm. For example, many schools have growing numbers of students from dual-income and single-parent families or students who are themselves teenage parents. To support these students and their families, some schools have established before- and after-school childcare programs or family resource centers, which also may offer parenting classes and social service referrals. With the help of community organizations, some principals have established programs to combat increases in crime, drug and alcohol abuse, and sexually transmitted diseases among students.
Assistant principals aid the principal in the overall administration of the school. Some assistant principals hold this position for several years, during which time they prepare for advancement to principal; others are assistant principals throughout their careers. They are primarily responsible for scheduling student classes, ordering textbooks and supplies, and coordinating transportation, custodial, cafeteria, and other support services. They usually handle student discipline and attendance problems, social and recreational programs, and health and safety matters. They also may counsel students on personal, educational, or vocational matters. With the advent of site-based management, assistant principals are playing a greater role in ensuring the academic success of students by helping to develop new curriculums, evaluating teachers, and dealing with school-community relations—responsibilities previously assumed solely by the principal. The number of assistant principals that a school employs may vary, depending on the number of students.
Administrators in school district central offices oversee public schools under their jurisdiction. This group includes those who direct subject-area programs such as English, music, vocational education, special education, and mathematics. They supervise instructional coordinators and curriculum specialists, and work with them to evaluate curriculums and teaching techniques and improve them. are covered elsewhere in the Handbook.) Administrators also may oversee career counseling programs and testing that measures students’ abilities and helps to place them in appropriate classes. Others may also direct programs such as school psychology, athletics, curriculum and instruction, and professional development. With site-based management, administrators have transferred primary responsibility for many of these programs to the principals, assistant principals, teachers, instructional coordinators, and other staff in the schools.
In preschools and childcare centers, which are usually much smaller than other educational institutions, the director or supervisor of the school or center often serves as the sole administrator. Their job is similar to that of other school administrators in that they oversee daily activities and operation of the schools, hire and develop staff, and make sure that the school meets required regulations and educational standards.
In colleges and universities, provosts, also known as chief academic officers, assist presidents, make faculty appointments and tenure decisions, develop budgets, and establish academic policies and programs. With the assistance of academic deans and deans of faculty, they also direct and coordinate the activities of deans of individual colleges and chairpersons of academic departments. Fundraising is the chief responsibility of the director of development and also is becoming an essential part of the job for all administrators.
College or university department heads or chairpersons are in charge of departments that specialize in particular fields of study, such as English, biological science, or mathematics. In addition to teaching, they coordinate schedules of classes and teaching assignments; propose budgets; recruit, interview, and hire applicants for teaching positions; evaluate faculty members; encourage faculty development; serve on committees; and perform other administrative duties. In overseeing their departments, chairpersons must consider and balance the concerns of faculty, administrators, and students.
Higher education administrators also direct and coordinate the provision of student services. Vice presidents of student affairs or student life, deans of students, and directors of student services may direct and coordinate admissions, foreign student services, health and counseling services, career services, financial aid, and housing and residential life, as well as social, recreational, and related programs. In small colleges, they may counsel students. In larger colleges and universities, separate administrators may handle each of these services. Registrars are custodians of students’ records. They register students, record grades, prepare student transcripts, evaluate academic records, assess and collect tuition and fees, plan and implement commencement, oversee the preparation of college catalogs and schedules of classes, and analyze enrollment and demographic statistics. Directors of admissions manage the process of recruiting, evaluating, and admitting students, and work closely with financial aid directors, who oversee scholarship, fellowship, and loan programs. Registrars and admissions officers at most institutions need computer skills because they use electronic student information systems. For example, for those whose institutions present college catalogs, schedules, and other information on the Internet, knowledge of online resources, imaging, and other computer skills is important. Athletic directors plan and direct intramural and intercollegiate athletic activities, seeing to publicity for athletic events, preparation of budgets, and supervision of coaches. Other increasingly important administrators direct public relations, distance learning, and technology.
Work environment. Education administrators hold leadership positions with significant responsibility. Most find working with students extremely rewarding, but as the responsibilities of administrators have increased in recent years, so has the stress. Coordinating and interacting with faculty, parents, students, community members, business leaders, and State and local policymakers can be fast-paced and stimulating, but also stressful and demanding. Principals and assistant principals, whose varied duties include discipline, may find working with difficult students to be challenging. They are also increasingly being held accountable for ensuring that their schools meet recently imposed State and Federal guidelines for student performance and teacher qualifications.
About 1 in 3 education administrators work more than 40 hours a week and often supervise school activities at night and on weekends. Most administrators work year round, although some work only during the academic year.
Training, Other Qualifications, and Advancement
Most education administrators begin their careers as teachers and prepare for advancement into education administration by completing a master’s or doctoral degree. Because of the diversity of duties and levels of responsibility, educational backgrounds and experience vary considerably among these workers.
Education and training. Principals, assistant principals, central office administrators, academic deans, and preschool directors usually have held teaching positions before moving into administration. Some teachers move directly into principal positions; others first become assistant principals, or gain experience in other administrative jobs at either the school or district level in positions such as department head, curriculum specialist, or subject matter advisor. In some cases, administrators move up from related staff jobs such as recruiter, school counselor, librarian, residence hall director, or financial aid or admissions counselor.
In most public schools, principals, assistant principals, and school district administrators need a master’s degree in education administration or educational leadership. Some principals and central office administrators have a doctorate or specialized degree in education administration. In private schools, some principals and assistant principals hold only a bachelor’s degree, but the majority have a master’s or doctoral degree.
Educational requirements for administrators of preschools and childcare centers vary depending on the setting of the program and the State of employment. Administrators who oversee preschool programs in public schools are often required to have at least a bachelor’s degree. Child care directors who supervise private programs are usually not required to have a degree; however, most States require a preschool education credential, which often includes some postsecondary coursework.
College and university academic deans and chairpersons usually advance from professorships in their departments, for which they need a master’s or doctoral degree; further education is not typically necessary. Admissions, student affairs, and financial aid directors and registrars sometimes start in related staff jobs with bachelor’s degrees—any field usually is acceptable—and obtain advanced degrees in college student affairs, counseling, or higher education administration. A Ph.D. or Ed.D. usually is necessary for top student affairs positions. Computer literacy and a background in accounting or statistics may be assets in admissions, records, and financial work.
Advanced degrees in higher education administration, educational leadership, and college student affairs are offered in many colleges and universities. Education administration degree programs include courses in school leadership, school law, school finance and budgeting, curriculum development and evaluation, research design and data analysis, community relations, politics in education, and counseling. The National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and the Educational Leadership Constituent Council (ELCC) accredit programs designed for elementary and secondary school administrators. Although completion of an accredited program is not required, it may assist in fulfilling licensure requirements.
Licensure and certification. Most States require principals to be licensed as school administrators. License requirements vary by State, but nearly all States require either a master’s degree or some other graduate-level training. Some States also require candidates for licensure to pass a test. On-the-job training, often with a mentor, is increasingly required or recommended for new school leaders. Some States require administrators to take continuing education courses to keep their license, thus ensuring that administrators have the most up-to-date skills. The number and types of courses required to maintain licensure vary by State. Principals in private schools are not subject to State licensure requirements.
Nearly all States require child care and preschool center directors to be licensed. Licensing usually requires a number of years of experience or hours of coursework or both. Sometimes, it requires a college degree. Often, directors are also required to earn a general preschool education credential, such as the Child Development Associate credential (CDA) sponsored by the Council for Professional Recognition, or some other credential designed specifically for directors.
One credential specifically for directors is the National Administration Credential, offered by the National Child Care Association. The credential requires experience and training in child care center management.
There are usually no licensing requirements for administrators at postsecondary institutions.
Other qualifications. To be considered for education administrator positions, workers must first prove themselves in their current jobs. In evaluating candidates, supervisors look for leadership, determination, confidence, innovativeness, and motivation. The ability to make sound decisions and to organize and coordinate work efficiently is essential. Because much of an administrator’s job involves interacting with others—such as students, parents, teachers, and the community—a person in such a position must have strong interpersonal skills and be an effective communicator and motivator. Knowledge of leadership principles and practices, gained through work experience and formal education, is important. A familiarity with computer technology is a necessity for principals, who are required to gather information and coordinate technical resources for their students, teachers, and classrooms.
Advancement. Education administrators advance through promotion to higher level administrative positions or by transferring to comparable positions at larger schools or systems. They also may become superintendents of school systems or presidents of educational institutions.
Employment
Education administrators held about 443,000 jobs in 2006. Of these, 56,000 were preschool or child care administrators, 226,000 were elementary or secondary school administrators, and 131,000 were postsecondary administrators. The great majority—over 80 percent—worked in public or private educational institutions. Most of the remainder worked in child daycare centers, religious organizations, job training centers, and businesses and other organizations that provided training for their employees.
Job Outlook
Employment of education administrators is projected to grow about as fast as average, as education and training take on greater importance in everyone’s lives. Job opportunities for many of these positions should be excellent because a large proportion of education administrators are expected to retire over the next 10 years.
Employment change. Employment of education administrators is expected to grow by 12 percent between 2006 and 2016, for all occupations, primarily due to growth in enrollments of school-age children. Enrollment of students in elementary and secondary schools is expected to grow slowly over the next decade, which will limit the growth of principals and other administrators in these schools. However, the number of administrative positions will continue to increase as more administrative responsibilities are placed on individual schools, particularly related to monitoring student achievement. Preschool and childcare center administrators are expected to experience substantial growth due to increasing enrollments in formal child care programs as fewer young children are cared for in private homes. Additionally, as more States implement or expand public preschool programs, more preschool directors will be needed.
The number of students at the postsecondary level is projected to grow more rapidly than other student populations, creating significant demand for administrators at that level. A significant portion of the growth will occur in the private and for-profit segments of higher education. Many of these schools cater to working adults who might not ordinarily participate in postsecondary education. These schools allow students to earn a degree, receive job-specific training, or update their skills in a convenient manner, such as through part-time programs or distance learning. As the number of these schools continues to grow, more administrators will be needed to oversee them.
Job prospects. Principals and assistant principals should have very favorable job prospects. A sharp increase in responsibilities in recent years has made the job more stressful and has discouraged some teachers from taking positions in administration. Principals are now being held more accountable for the performance of students and teachers, while at the same time they are required to adhere to a growing number of government regulations. In addition, overcrowded classrooms, safety issues, budgetary concerns, and teacher shortages in some areas all are creating additional stress for administrators. Many teachers feel that the increase in pay for becoming an administrator is not high enough to compensate for the greater responsibilities.
Opportunities may vary by region of the country. Enrollments are expected to increase the fastest in the West and South, where the population is growing faster, and to decline or remain stable in the Northeast and the Midwest. School administrators also are in greater demand in rural and urban areas, where pay is generally lower than in the suburbs.
Although competition among faculty for prestigious positions as academic deans and department heads is likely to remain keen, fewer applicants are expected for nonacademic administrative jobs, such as director of admissions or student affairs. Furthermore, many people are discouraged from seeking administrator jobs by the requirement that they have a master’s or doctoral degree in education administration—as well as by the opportunity to earn higher salaries in other occupations.

hi when will u start in uk satlite channel we are waiting for ur channel thanks,
we can adopt the following measures to improve the quality in education:-
While increasing participation and reducing inequities remain considerable challenges for many countries, improving quality of education for all is the most important challenge faced by educators around the world. It is critical to assure that all students acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to participate as productive citizens in their local and global communities.
Improving educational quality requires simultaneous and systematic attention to many important issues. Quality is about student learning outcomes and the educational environment. It is about the teachers and the teaching and learning process. It is about effective leadership as well as competent system management and administration which we have with the grace of Almighty Allah in IIU Alhamdulillah. It is about the effective, efficient, and equitable delivery of inputs as well as the distribution of outputs and outcomes. It is about creating broad-based participation in a unified effort to improve education. It is about aligning goals, objectives, and investments across all levels.
We can manage a two week seminar for this purpose. This two-week seminar is required to gives participants the opportunity to look broadly at the challenge of improving quality in education systems and explore all dimensions of quality in education with colleagues from around the world.
Thinking broadly and systematically about efforts to improve quality in education systems
Understanding all dimensions of the debate about quality in education
Identifying meaningful quality indicators
Strengthening data and information systems on all levels to support increased quality
Developing effective monitoring and evaluation systems
Learning what other countries are doing to improve quality; what works best for them, and why
Improving Quality in Education Systems may be designed for policy makers, planners, managers, researchers, and other professional educators concerned with the design, implementation, and delivery of quality education for all.
The seminar is most appropriate for Academic Staff and individuals with at least three years of experience in a decision-making or senior management role, or as senior staff in areas like policy analysis, research, planning, or monitoring and evaluation. The seminar is also useful for individuals who are moving into more senior positions and who will be assuming increased levels of responsibility for improving quality in education.
Country and Institutional Teams
Ministries, educational institutions, and donor agencies if any may be encouraged to send teams of three to five participants. Teams offer opportunities for shared learning and reinforcement of new ideas. They also increase the potential for application of new insights and understandings.
Lectures:-
Sessions may include a variety of formats: lectures, case studies, and review and discussion of current education reform efforts in different countries. In addition to formal working sessions, opportunities may be provided provided for participants to share their knowledge and experience with each other. Opportunities for individual work and research may also be offered. Visits to local educational institutions and meetings with local education officials are important elements. Participants learn how education is managed and delivered and educators are addressing the demand for improvement in education quality.

Forty-nine are implementing state-based s t a n d a rd s ,a n d o n e ,I o wa , is implementing s t a n d a rd s.The success of these efforts hinges on, m o re than any t h i n g e l s e , the ability of teachers to bring the new standards to life in their c l a s s ro o m s .
The emergence of standards as the linchpin of education reform reflects
a growing recognition that today’s economy requires a versatile and
highly skilled workforce capable of keeping pace with rapid social and
technological change. High-wage,low-skill jobs are no longer plentiful,
and all students now must have mastery beyond basic reading, writing
and arithmetic if they are to be successful. Not just in high-tech
fields, but across a wide range of occupations, employers want workers
with a broad set of skills and abilities – people who can read,write and speak effectively, analyze problems and set priorities, learn new things quickly, take initiative and work in teams. These same skills, together with a
sense of civic purpose and re s p o n s ibi l i t y, an informed respect for the

Educational Imperatives for a New Era
The university must express in its knowledge work a new and changed environment. If the university is to prepare graduates for this new era, the university is obligated to modernize and to contribute to the global exchange of knowledge through the movement of people, information, and ideas. At the same time that the modern university is under a mandate to internationalize it faces a strong imperative to nurture cultural and national identity. The environment of exchange creates an awareness of contrasts and differences in the context of shared interests and commonality. The effort to nourish identity and self-consciousness responds to demands of both particularity and universality. The contemporary university belongs to an age of discontinuity which offers a radical break with the immediate past and opens to a new and very different future. The rate of change as well as the changes themselves presents educational imperatives for the knowledge work of the university.
The Imperative to Exchange.
The free movement of people and ideas across political boundaries is one of the historic roots of the modern university. Itinerant scholars and wise men moving from place to place in Asia, religious teachers or leaders gathering followers created learning communities in many places that were the forerunners of the modern university. The portability of manuscripts and later the printing of texts greatly enhanced the possibilities of exchange and led to the clustering of scholars and books.
Advanced higher learning is dependent upon exchange of knowledge and people; it draws on collaboration in research projects and a worldwide system for the dissemination and testing of research results. Universities bear responsibility for the development of language competencies and the cross-cultural understanding of their graduates; these competencies and understandings are in turn very important to the ability of people to work together and to prosper. Knowledge work has grown steadily more dependent upon reciprocal giving and receiving. The practice of such exchange is an influence upon the present university and its graduates and will be an even more powerful force in the economic life and progress of the twenty-first century.
The Imperative to Universality.
The unifying task of the university is the discovery, preservation, and dissemination of knowledge. Knowledge, valuable as it is in and of itself, is not the final product of the university. The basic product is the graduate. The university finds meaning in the development of human potential. The knowledge work of the university expands both the capacity to understand and the ability to do. Responding to the directive to internationalize, universities foster universality by addressing a shared human condition and the commonweal of a global society.
universities best serve their nations interests by serving the world of learning. University scholars and scientists seek to contribute to basic knowledge work in concert with other scholars and scientists across national and cultural boundaries. It is in the interests of the modern nation-state to welcome to its campuses students and faculty from many countries. This partial reconvergence creates cosmopolitan graduates who are citizens not just of a single nation but of the world.
Universal academic values define modern knowledge work. Analysis and examination contribute to discovery and invention; criticism, testing, and replication are universally used for verification. The modern university, as the university has throughout its long history, celebrates humaneness in the study. Creative expression and the analysis. unbounded character of knowledge work is an essential premise supporting the movement of students across national boundaries for study and degrees. Except where proscribed by national or proprietary interests, research collaboration is the order of the day. Observations, hypotheses, conclusions, and results are subjected to a universal test of the convergence of opinions.
A convergence of advanced training and a universality of standards for university graduates.
Strategic Initiatives
The internationalization of the university is described by directives to modernize, to encourage exchange, to nurture identity, and to foster universality. These broad imperatives have direct consequences for the strategic management of higher education and for the definition of what it means to be a university graduate in a new era. What follows are only a few suggestions designed to give operational meaning to these imperatives. The common premise behind strategic initiatives is that a changed world demands a response from the university.
The University Must Foster Language Competency
language competency, that is, not just the capacity to speak or read the literature but the ability to use languages in a variety of settings. The study of language and culture must also nurture cross-cultural skills that will allow the individual to function in various societies and to perform in a multicultural and multi-language work environment. The graduate prepared for this new age must master and be able to use at least some of the common languages employed worldwide in scholarly, social, and commercial exchanges.
The modern university is a place for research, instruction, and consultation. All levels of education can and should turn to the modern university for support and help. To ensure success in further education, university faculty should give sustained attention to the quality of materials, the teaching methodology, and the assessment of results in schooling prior to the university experience. The university is a direct partner with primary and secondary education in developing language skills; it is far too late to begin to develop language competency at the university level of study.
The university is also a resource for the work of government and industry. University faculty brings a base of research and knowledge of theory and practice in other societies for use in public policy debate and determinations and for use in commercial activity.
The University Must Actively Encourage Mobility
If the movement of faculty and students worldwide is to be sustained and expanded, the university must build networks for exchange. To be effective, exchange includes both the receiving and the sending of students and faculty; it entails constant movement for study, research, teaching, internship, and work.
The University Must Support Faculty Development
The key to internationalizing the university is the faculty. The faculty determine what goes on in the lectures and the seminar rooms. they design and implement curricular reforms. They provide role models for students. they help define and execute the research agenda. Linkages for exchange. and for collaboration and cooperation in research. Only when a significant portion of the faculty of a given university has lived, taught, engaged in research, or worked for extended periods abroad can the knowledge work of teaching and research be internationalized.
The University Must Facilitate Knowledge Exchange
The modern university must be staffed with faculty skilled in the use of such resources. They must be familiar with the major research libraries of the world and with information and communication technologies which make knowledge resources accessible from any point on the globe. They must train their students in the use of this connected network. As universities throughout the world mature and expand their research and their graduates’ capacities, the drive to localize staff training will increase. This will make the effective use of knowledge technology even more urgent and important.A graduate must possess a store of knowledge when completing university work now the more lasting and important mastery is the ability to locate and use databases and information and to transform them into knowledge.
The University Must Reform the Curriculum
Graduates are not prepared for productive work if their study is limited to their own languages and cultures. Both the curriculum and the academic disciplines which make up the curriculum are redirected by contemporary educational imperatives. The curriculum expands to include courses and programs focusing on different regions and cultures; information drawn from multinational sources is integrated into the study. Science and technology are only in a very limited sense culturally conditioned; the scientific and technological disciplines are cumulative and objective in their knowledge patterns and therefore presumed to be more universal than other areas.
There are two kinds of powers.One is,having revolver in hand, placing it upon forehead of someone,taking away a thing from him which is his right and giving it to someone else.
2nd is having pen in the hands instead of revolver using power of the oath instead of bullet depriving a person from a thing which is his right by misuse of power and giving it to someone else.
All people of the world worship God but the God sends Darood and “Salaat”upon his beloved Prophet Muhammad ur Rasoolullah (peace be upon him) and not only this but also assigned this duty to the angles to do so.and ordered those who beleive him to do so also as it is favourate routine of the God Almighty and a matter of love and effection.
The pilgrammage of the angles is that a group of them come to the Grave of the Holly Prophet everyday in the morning/Dawn and the group came once will never have a chance to come again till the end as they are in majority.
Neither the God has sent us to collect the wealth nor make properties but to worship him and follow his beloved Prophet who loves God and to whom the God almighty loves more than all.

THE UNITY OF 58 MUSLIM COUNTRIES AND GATHERING THEM UPON ONE PLATFORM IS AS MUCH IMPORTANT AS THE CIRCULATION OF BLOOD INTO the VEINS FOR A BODY.
1. The UNO is working for the interest of only and on;y the Jews and Christ in the world. Is it not necessary to establish UMCO (United Muslim Countries Organization) in its response for protection of the interests of the Muslim World? Why is it essential?
2. Why is it necessary to sell the raw material and Oil @million dollars to Western/ non Muslim Countries and @only some rupees to the Muslim countries of the world?
3. Why do we get F-16 @ billion dollars and in response sell raw material on nominal low prices. If they can not adopt sympathetic attitude to us, why do we have sympathies for them?
4. Why is it necessary for us to establish New Economic policies and Trade procedure separate and easy for Muslim Countries and costly and difficult for non Muslim countries?
6. How to get the sympathies of Arab Countries
7. Why it is unforgivable Crime for a Muslim Country to get nuclear technology and development in any field of science and technology and is a noble act for a country belonging to the zone of Jews and Christ.

God Bless Pakistan
My dear countrymen, my dear friends, , those who are working for Pakistan.We are facing the worst crisis in our country’s life, a deadly crisis. We have to pick up the pieces, very small pieces, but we will make a new Pakistan, a prosperous and progressive Pakistan. For Progress of nation we shall have to bring revolution in all major industries, including iron and steel, heavy engineering, heavy electrical, petrochemicals, cement and public utilities and in all economic and Technical fields.
God bless Pakistan and finish the root causes which disturb the peace and stability in Pakistan and which seems to be in hands of someone else.Islam is the religion of peace which gives the lesson to live and in respectable way and let allow the others to live.It gives the lesson of love and affection to the mankind.While Hazrat Sulaiman Alai hissalam flying in the air heard the voice of ant,He took petty upon it and came down with his group/forces.Islam is the religion which does recognize and protect even the rights of birds and animals.Terrorism is un-Islamic word.The meaning of the word Islam is peace.
There is a saying of Holly Prophet Muhammad ur Rasulullah Peace be Upon Him, The killer of a single Muslim is the killer of whole the Universe,There will be curse upon him from God,Angles,and all the Universe.He will remain in punishment for ever and will never come back from the Hell/Jahannum.and to escape one life is as to escape the whole Universe.
No religion of the world permits the stupid activities of causing loss to human being and to the lives of innocent people.
This is Un-Islamic face of someone else which is misinterpreted and wrongly.These are not Muslims and if some are,then playing in the hands of others and mastermind is someone else.
