Learning outcomes refer to the performance of the students in academic tests pertaining to the respective grade level. In Pakistan, survey evidences from Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) show a significant dispersion in learning outcomes of public schools as compared With private sector counterpart. The perceived results of learning outcomes in private schools very clear but less evidence is found for educational outcome of schools run under public-private partnership programs. This becomes especially relevant when status of curricular, co- curricular, and extra-curricular activities is compared between public school, private schools, and schools run under public private partnership. In recent literature, it is found that schools taken up by public-private partnership have been providing a better learning environment — Infrastructure Rehabilitation and Development, Administrative changes, Academic Innovation and Flaming, Teacher Reform and Student Affairs - is perceived to have a positive impact on learning outcomes. It is to investigate and document that the investments in these areas are justifiable. To promote this fact, we conduct a quasi—experiment to examine the profiles of students in a public-private partnership school at Karachi (running under Zindagi Trust program) and a public school (as counterfactual) in the same neighbourhood. We also recorded the household and socioeconomic characteristics to create a good set of control variables. The propensity—score results show that public—private partnership school is performing better than that of comparison group in attaining learning outcomes thus showing positive effects of PPP. Finally, the study probed into household and parental covariates of student‘s educational outcomes to enhance internal validity of results

پروفیسر مختار الدین آرزو

آہ! پروفیسر مختار الدین احمد آرزو مرحوم
دارالمصنفین اور دنیائے علم و تحقیق کے لیے یہ خبر بڑی اندوہ ناک رہی کہ ۳۰؍ جون ۲۰۱۰؁ء کو مشہور محقق، مدون اور عالم پروفیسر مختارالدین احمد آرزو نے اس جہاں فانی کو الوداع کہا، اِناﷲ وَاِنا اِلَیہ رَاجِعُون۔
وہ اس بزم دوشیں کے گویا آخری رکن تھے جس میں ڈاکٹر عبدالستار صدیقی، امتیاز علی عرشی اور مالک رام جیسے اہم نام شامل ہیں، ۱۴؍ نومبر ۱۹۲۴؁ء میں ان کی زندگی کا سفر پٹنہ سے شروع ہوا جس کی آخری منزل علی گڑھ کی سرزمین قرار پائی، عمر بھر کی بے قراری کے لیے قرار یہیں مقدر تھا۔ ان کے والد مولانا ظفر الدین قادری خود جید عالم اور صاحب تصانیف کثیرہ اور مولانا احمد رضا خاں بریلوی کے شاگرد رشید تھے، سلسلہ نسب شیخ عبدالقادرر جیلانی تک پہنچتا ہے، اجداد میں سید ابراہیم نامی بزرگ، سلطان فیروز شاہ تغلق کے عہد میں ہندوستان آئے اور سپہ گری میں نمایاں حیثیت حاصل کی، بزرگوں کی اعلیٰ روایات کی پاسبانی نسل در نسل ہوتی رہی، نانہال بہار کی مشہور اور نیک نام بستی استھانواں میں تھا، پہلا نام غلام معین الدین رکھا گیا لیکن بعد میں وہ مختارالدین احمد ہوئے، والدہ کی آرزو تھی کہ بیٹا جامعہ ازہر تک جائے، یہ آرزو عالمی جنگ کی وجہ سے پوری نہ ہوئی لیکن علم و تحقیق کی طلب میں وہ خود مکمل آرزو بن گئے۔
والد بزرگوار سے تعلیم کا سلسلہ شروع ہوا جو شمس الہدیٰ سے ہوتا ہوا مدرسہ بورڈ کے فاضل حدیث کی سند تک دراز ہوا، لیکن طلب علم کی آرزو کے لیے یہ کافی نہیں تھا، انھوں نے جدید تعلیم کے لیے مسلم یونیورسٹی کا رخ کیا، ڈاکٹریٹ کی سند لی، پی ایچ ڈی کے مقالے کی رہنمائی کے لئے عبدالعزیز میمن جیسی باکمال ہستی نصیب ہوئی،...

Measurement of Ψ 2S Decays + − into Λλπ Π

This analysis is based on 106 M ψ(2S) data collected with Beijing Spectrom- eter III (BESIII) detector at Beijing Electron Positron Collider II. We report improved measurements of the branching fractions of ψ(2S) → ΛΛπ + π − , + ∗− ψ(2S) → Ξ− Ξ and ψ(2S) → Σ∗+ Σ . The branching fractions measured are (1.34 ± 0.05stat ± 0.24sys ) × 10−4 , (3.15 ± 0.35stat ± 0.55sys ) × 10−5 and (3.39 ± 0.34stat ± 0.61sys ) × 10−5 , respectively.
