آہـ! مولوی محمودالحسن
اس مہینہ کے معارف کی طباعت ختم ہو رہی تھی کہ یکا یک خبر ملی کہ مولوی محمود الحسن ناظم انجمن تعلیمات دین، اپنے بچوں، عزیزوں اور قدر دانوں کو چھوڑ کراب وہاں ہیں جہاں نیکوں، پاکبازوں، صفاکشوں کو سرور جاودانی اور حیات ابدی ملتی ہے، ان کی دائمی جدائی پر کچھ آنکھیں نمناک اور اشکبار ہوں گی، لیکن انجمن تعلیمات دین کے کارکنوں اور ہمدردوں کی آنکھوں سے خون کے آنسو، بھی جاری ہوں گے تو اس سے ان کی دائمی رحلت کی غم ناکی اور درد ناکی دور نہ ہو سکے گی، ان کی وفات کچھ ایسا ہی جاں گسل سانحہ ہے۔
وہ انجمن تعلیمات دین کے بانیوں میں سے تھے، ۱۹۴۷ء کے انقلاب کے بعد چند مردان خدا کی بدولت یہ انجمن قائم ہوئی تو زبان حال سے یہ کہہ رہی تھی:
یہ دور اپنے ابراہیمؑ کی تلاش میں ہے
اس انجمن نے اترپردیش میں جو کام انجام دیے ہیں، وہ مسلمانوں کی ملی تاریخ کا ایک زریں کارنامہ ہے، اس کے ذریعہ سے بے شمار دینی مکاتب قائم ہوئے، جن سے اترپردیش کے مسلمان بچوں کی دینی حمیت اور ایمانی غیرت کے ثبات ویقین کا سامان فراہم ہوا، جناب عدیل عباسی مرحوم نے اس کارواں کے یکہ تاز بن کر جس طرح رجز خوانی کی، اس سے انجمن کا کام بہت آگے بڑھا، ان کے یمین ویسار میں مولوی ظفر احمد صدیقی مرحوم وکیل اور مولوی محمود الحسن رہے، جس سے اس کے کام کو غیر معمولی فروغ ہوا، مصلحت خداوندی سے جناب عدیل عباسی مرحوم اور جناب ظفر احمد صدیقی مرحوم، مولوی محمودالحسن کو تنہا چھوڑ گئے، مگر وہ اس کے لیے عمل پیہم اور یقین محکم بلکہ سوزدروں، درد پنہاں اور روح جاں گسل بنے رہے، وہ کسی مجلس میں بیٹھ جاتے تو معلوم ہوتا کہ انجمن تعلیمات...
This research is conducted, in order to perceive the attitude of higher secondary level students of Sindh towards science. Students (Male = 448, Female = 648) belonging to higher-secondary level (Class-XI & XII) from Hyderabad division were surveyed. Students were divided in Urban (N=455) and Rural (N=641) groups accordingly. “Test of Science Related Attitudes” known as TOSRA, initially developed by (Fraser, 1978) was adapted and translated in Urdu as well, was used as the attitude measurement instrument. Internalk consistancey was checked with Cronbach’s alpha reliability test. After pilot study the test was administrated. Significant difference of the attitude towards science across the students was noticed based on their gender and their locale. The results show that, with small effect size, male students significantly scored higher on almost all of the attitude sub-scales of TOSRA as compared to female students. Interestingly, students belonging to rural areas significantly scored higher with medium effect size on all the attitude sub-scale towards science as compare to students from urban areas.
This thesis investigates the premise that poverty influences children's lives in different ways in the public schools of Balochistan. There is little information about, and understanding of, how poverty-stricken children experience school as opposed to children from better off families. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of poverty on children's experiences of school and to see its implications on education. This study is comparative in nature and therefore the focus of this study is to understand how children from families living in poverty experience school as opposed to children from better off families. This study is based on the views of children from two secondary schools in Balochistan. This study is a qualitative case study of four research participants from one girl's and one boy's public school in the district of Lasbela, which is one of the poorest districts in Pakistan. The participants of this study were selected based on the poverty line of $1.25 set by the World Bank, but the focus of this study was participatory which investigated the effects of poverty on the children's school experiences from the perspectives of the children. So far, there has been very little research done to see the effects of poverty on the children's experiences of schooling in Pakistan and particularly in Balochistan. The findings of this study reveal that the school experiences of poor children are not as good as the school experiences of better off children. The parents of poor children do not have enough resources to meet the educational expenses of their children; they can hardly cater for their necessities like clothes, shoes, school bags, books, notebooks, uniforms and other essential stationery. Furthermore, the findings suggest that poverty that is due to lack of financial resources affects the experiences of children at school, there are also some other socio-emotional factors which results from poverty such as conflicting relationships with peers and teachers. Therefore, the findings of this study can prove very beneficial for the policy makers in helping them take broader social policy initiatives for reducing poverty and inequality, so that the lives of the poor children could be improved in the public schools of Pakistan.
