Education is conceived as the powerful instrument for bringing about desired changes in social and cultural life of the nation and the teacher being the key actor in educational process is considered as the change agent. The rapidly changing world is calling new ways of addressing school changes; Pakistan has also brought a lot of changes and reforms to address the educational problems and to keep pace with the fast changes in the field of science and technology. The purpose of this study was to analyze the attitude of the teachers towards reforms at school level in Punjab, Pakistan. For this purpose, seventy two schools having equal number in gender and demographic level of urban and rural, comprising all categories of primary, elementary and secondary were selected through area cluster sampling technique. Survey method technique was applied and a questionnaire based on five-point Likert scale comprising sixty three items divided into five dimensions was developed.The tool was an adaptation of ASTTP (Hussain, 2004). The tool was got validated by experts‟ opinion and through calculating the Factor Loading and also by determining the Cronbatch Alpha. To analyze the data, arithmetic mean, percentage, standard deviation and t- test were calculated by using the computer programs; Ms-Excel and SPSS. It was concluded by the study that respondents showed much positive response towards the questions of administrative reforms, medium of instruction reforms and Chief Minister Roadmap reforms dimensions while, towards examination reforms and computer education reforms dimensions, respondents also showed positive attitude but with lower statistics. Qualifications wise analysis showed that as the degree of qualification of the teachers rises, the level of positivity of attitude is also rises against all dimensions and from this positive impact of reforms is also inferred. The comparison between urban and rural teachers showed that there is significant difference between the attitude of the respondents of the rural and urban areas and the respondents of the rural areas showed much better positive attitude against all dimensions of reforms. The gender wise comparison of the respondents reflected that female teachers had more significantly positive attitude towards all dimensions of reforms as compared to male teachers. Comparison between the teachers of all sections of the selected schools clearly indicated that attitude towards first three dimensions; Administrative reforms, Medium of Instruction reforms and Chief Minister Roadmap reform was much positive as compared to others two dimensions of examination reforms and computer education reforms. Through this study, it was recommended that in policy making or formulating any reform initiative, positive involvement of teachers‟ opinion must be ensured next time. Course outlines and methods of teaching of the teacher training institutions are revised according to trends of the modern era of globalized world. Indicators for the Chief Ministers‟ roadmap must be revised and fixed on the ground realities and on the disparity between rural and urban areas.

کوزہ گر ۔۔۔اور شہر ِ اوہام

کوزہ گر ۔۔۔اور شہر ِ اوہام

عدنان ظفر

ریل کی پٹڑیوں کے پارمضافات میں گاؤں آبادتھا۔ ہر طرف ایک عجیب سی چیختی ہوئی خاموشی تھی۔ راستوں پہ ہر طرف کیچڑ، بارش کا پانی نہ جانے کب سےٹھہرا ہو ا تھا، اور اس  گدلے پانی کے کناروں پر جمی ہوئی  کائی  ماحول کو اور زیاہ ہولناک  بنا رہی تھی۔ چھوٹے چھوٹے مینڈک تیزی سے پھدکتے ادھر سے ادھر جاتے اور ٹروں ٹروں کا راگ آلاپتے اس بے جان خاموشی کو چڑہا رہےتھے۔فیروز ایک کوزہ گر تھا ، جو اسی بستی میں ایک  جھونپڑی  میں محض ٹھنڈی مٹی کے ڈھیر کے سوا کچھ بھی نہ تھا، اور اس نے  برسوں سے کوزے بنانے چھوڑ دیے تھے۔اس کی جھونپڑی میں اشیائے ضروریہ کی کمی اس حد تک تھی کہ جیسے  فالج زدہ  جسم میں حرکت کی کمی ہوتی ہے۔

پس ِ پردہ۔۔۔۔۔۔۔آٹوگراف

اہلِ شہادت ، اہل ِ محسنین  اور اہلِ جمال۔۔۔۔۔۔۔!

افسوس کہ کچھ باقی نا رہا ،          ۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔سوائے آٹو گراف البم۔۔۔!

قحط الرجال ارزاں،

مردم شماری عروج پکڑ گئی، مردم شناسی ناپید۔

لوحِ ایام پہ سفرِ ِِنصیب لکھ دیا گیا ، مگر آوازِ دوست قحط الرجال کی مانند حرفِ شوق ٹھہری ۔آبِ گم کی تلاش کسی زرگذشت کے راہ کا نشان بن گئی اور شامِ شیرِ یاراں کےخیالو ں کا مدفن بنی۔لیکن آٹو گراف پانے کی خواہش ہنوذ جاویداں اور آٹو گراف البم ابھی خریدا ہی نہیں۔

اسے بچپن ہی سے مٹی سے لگاؤ تھا۔وہ گِل و لا سے ایسے مجہور کوزے بنانا چاہتا تھا ،جو نہ صرف حقیقت سے لبریز ہوں بلکہ ان میں انسانوں کی طرح کی وہ عادتیں بھی پائی جائیں جس...

What Makes Public Schools Successful: Exploring the Contributory Factors Behind Successful Public Primary Schools in District Sukkur, Sindh

In Sindh, public education sector is the largest system that provides education for the majority of enrolled children. Although, there is a common perception that public sector schools are declining, there are still some examples of successful public schools in the province of Sindh. The purpose of this study is to find out some examples of successful public primary schools from Sindh and to explore the contributory factors behind those successful public primary schools. Within the qualitative paradigm multiple case study methodology was used to gain an in-depth understanding of the phenomena. The study was exploratory in nature and carried out in three public primary schools of district Sukkur, Sindh. It includes headteachers, SMC members and senior teachers from selected schools and district education officers. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions and field notes. Findings of the study reveal that the team work of competent and committed teachers and school leader is the major contributory factor behind the success of public primary schools. Furthermore, project-based interventions, official support and community involvement are supportive factors for school success. In brief, this research shows that there are examples of successful public schools in Sindh, which counters the assumption that all public schools are essentially failing. The research also suggests that there are various contributory factors which work in complex formulations to achieve the overall school success, however motivated teachers and school leader were found to be the biggest game-changer. It needs to be acknowledged that these schools are working in harsh circumstances and deserve appreciation. The findings of the study would certainly be beneficial for public schools having similar contextual realities, to improve and achieve success. It is also hoped that the findings of this research help create disjuncture within existing discourse of public versus private education.
