Internal efficiency of schools owes itself to the proper and effective use of all inputs simultaneously. However the non-availability and /or improper use of some of the inputs do not make the internal efficiency of schools possible. It is generally believed that most of secondary schools in public sector are not internally efficient. It was one of the considerations that required a systematic research in this area, to identify what factors made the school internally inefficient and what were the weaknesses of the system that could be addressed for remedial solution. It is a descriptive study that explored the current status of efficiency in Government boys’ secondary schools in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistan, with a view to identify gaps and their causes for remedial solutions. This also required the development of a framework within which the gaps, causes and suggestions for improvement are to be given. The literature review facilitated the study to find out indicators for improvement of internal efficiency and to place them under specific categories for the development of an opinionnaire/questionnaire. The following key questions were framed for this study: 1. What is the current scenario of internal efficiency of Government boys’ secondary schools in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistan? 2. What are the indicators for promoting internal efficiency in Government boys’ secondary schools? 3. What are the gaps in the internal efficiency of Government boys’ secondary schools of the province that can be focused for remedial solution? 4. What implementable framework can be suggested for improving the internal efficiency of boys’ secondary schools in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province? The purpose of the study included a consideration of unbiased assessment of the current status of internal efficiency in boys’ secondary schools; exploring indicators on the basis of literature review and identification of gaps for development of a framework. The target population of the study was 1229 principals/heads of boys’ secondary v schools and 4201 senior school teachers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistan. The sampled population of the current study was 297 principals/ heads of Government boys’ secondary schools and 1433 senior school teachers in five districts randomly selected from five divisions of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. (Source KP EMIS 2010-11). The sample of the study was adequate because 75 (25%) principals and 359 (25%) senior school teachers were included in the study from the five districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistan. Stratified random sampling technique was used to ensure its representativeness. The primary source of data collection was closed-ended opinionnaire/ questionnaire, which were personally handed over to 75 principals and 359 senior school teachers of sampled boys’ Government high schools. They were also collected back in person. The secondary sources of data included a study of documents, office records and review of relevant literature. The data were quantified in terms of figures and percentages. However, qualitative data were given different treatment. They were described and discussed for drawing inferences from them. For authenticity of results appropriate statistical measures (Chi-square test) were applied. The gaps identified by the study included low allocation of financial resources to secondary education; low retention of students in schools and absence of proper check on repetition; dropouts and wastage of resources (time, men, materials and money). Moreover adequate access to secondary schools and poor quality of instruction always remained the concern of the stakeholders of education. The study also found that the internal efficiency was adversely affected by incompetent principals/heads of the schools and poorly trained and non-committed teachers. The study made a number of recommendations for promoting the internal efficiency of Government boys’ secondary schools in public sector, which included proper training of teachers and principals as well as availability of basic facilities for school improvement. These recommendations were further supplemented by a framework, which incorporated gaps, causes and suggestions for improvement.

حدیقۃ العجائب

التحریر چوک کے ایک حصے میں ایک بڑی اور عالی شان عمارت ایستادہ تھی میں نے  دکتور محمود سے پوچھا یہ کیا ہے بولے ھذاٰ حدیقۃ العجائب ۔عجائب گھر پر نگاہ ڈالی تو مسافر کے دل میں تحریر چوک کی قدرو منزلت سوا ہو گئی جہاں عصرِ حاضر کے مصری نوجوان بہتر مستقبل کے لیے عصری فرعونوں سے نبرد آزما ہوتے ہیں اور ماضی کے فرعونوں کو بہ طور عبرت اپنی آغوش میں جگہ دی ہے ۔ عجائب گھر میں داخلے کے لیے ٹکٹ لینا ضروری تھا ۔مسافر کو اہلِ فراعنہ کی لاشوں اور لکی ایرانی سرکس کے جانوروں میںکوئی فرق محسوس نہ ہوا سچ کہا میرے رب نے ’’اب تو ہم صرف تیر ی لاش بچائیں گے تاکہ تو بعد کی نسلوںکے لیے نشانِ عبرت بنے ‘‘۔

غیر ملکیوںکے لیے یہ ٹکٹ تین سو مصری پائونڈ کا تھا مصریوں کے لیے ایک سو پچاس جبکہ مصری طالب علموں کے لیے ساٹھ مصری پائونڈ ۔ دکتور محمود نے کوئی جگاڑ لگایااورہم بغیر ٹکٹ کے اندر داخل ہو گئے عجائب گھر کی مرکزی عمارت کے سامنے ایک بہت بڑے دالان میں کچھ ٹوٹے ہوئے اور خراب مجسمے رکھے گئے تھے ،ان کے درمیان میں پیادہ روشیں بنائی گئی تھیں یہ تما م پیادہ روشیں عجائب گھر کی مرکزی عمارت تک جا کر ایک بڑے رستے کی شکل اختیار کر لیتی ہیں ۔یہاں سے ہم سیڑھیاں چڑھے تو ایک خود کار مشین کے ذریعے تلاشی بھی لی گئی ۔صدر دروازے سے گزر کر ہم ایک بڑے ہال میں داخل ہوئے۔ جہاں اہل فراعنہ کے کئی میٹر طویل مجسمے اس انداز میں رکھے گئے تھے جیسے ان کا دربار لگا ہو اور امورِ سلطنت پر اجلاس جاری ہو ۔میں نے ایک قوی ہیکل فرعونی مجسمے کے قریب جا کر دکتور محمود کوکہا...

Although Imam Qusṭalānī, in compiling his book "Al-Mawāhib Al-Laduniyat Bil Minḥ Al-Muhammadiyah", has followed the footsteps of Qazi Ayaz’s book Al- Shifā. But many chapters and information are unique to them and he has expanded this book with his additions and made it a treasure trove of information. This book is a beautiful fusion of the traditions of Muhaddithin and Ahl-e-Siyyar. Because he was not only a muhaddith but also a biographer. Were his greatest service in the learning of Hadith is "Irshad Al-Sārī Sharh Saḥiḥ Bukhārī", there his most significant service in Sira is this book. He has used the traditions of both the narrators and the Biographers in compiling it. In this book, the locks of meanings are opened with the keys of Fatḥ Al-Bārī Li Ibn-e-Hajar ‘Asqalānī. In other words, he has benefited a lot from Fatḥ Al-Bārī Sharḥ Bukhari and has gained a lot of confidence. A large number of scholars have used this book, including Shiblī Nu‘mānī, who has made extensive use of it in his Sirat un-Nabiﷺ . Due to its popularity, many of its rates have been written. The most detailed of these is the Zurqānī rate of Qusṭalānī. The great scholar like Imam Zarqani has commented in eleven volumes of this book, which is proof of its authenticity, noteworthy, and worth reading and treasure. Sheikh Nūruddin Ṭrabulsī gave Sharh and great people like Safiuddin Qasashi, Burhanuddin Ibrahim Maimoni, Shamsuddin Muhammad Shobri Misri and Nooruddin Ali Qari embellished this book with their footnotes. On the one hand, it teaches love and respect for the Holy Prophet ﷺ and on the other hand, it mentions the rights of the Holy Prophet ﷺ and the rewards for their payment. The writing style of the book is simple and smooth as well as eloquent and eloquent. The temptation is not so long that the length will be too long for the reader, nor is it so short that access to the concepts and demands will not be possible due to the brevity. The book has been read by the people and it has been adopted by biographers as an authentic and reliable source. Because of its importance and usefulness, an introductory and analytical study of this book will be presented in this article.

Effects of Organizational Culture on Employees? Job Satisfaction With Interactional Justice As Mediator: A Comparison Between Multinational and Domestic Pharmaceutical Companies of Pakistan

This research offers an insight into the effects of the organizational culture of domestic and multinational pharmaceutical companies of Pakistan, on the job satisfaction levels of employees working in them, through the mediating effects of perceived levels of interactional justice. By explaining the interactions between organizational culture, interactional justice and job satisfaction, the managers and owners of those organizations shall be able to modify and inculcate the requisite changes in their organizational cultures to enhance the output levels of their employees through increasing the job satisfaction levels. Through this research, it is empirically established that organizational culture is positively and significantly related to job satisfaction. Furthermore, it is also established that interactional justice also has a significant and positive mediation effect on the relationship between organizational culture and job satisfaction levels of the employees. Through analysis of data collected from a total of 396 employees working in 11 domestic and multinational companies operating in Pakistan, using convenience sampling technique, it is established that organizational culture, interactional justice and job satisfaction levels of multinational pharma companies are relatively better than domestic pharma companies. This difference is empirically attributed to better organizational cultures of multinational pharma companies in the research. Based on the analysis, it is recommended that organizational culture of a pharmaceutical company can be improved by adhering to written rules and procedures instead of relying on verbal instructions. Moreover, a culture which supports and encourages innovation and initiative shown by employees improves the organizational culture prevailing in the organization. Equitable pay scales and fair chances of upward mobility within the organizational hierarchy through timely promotions also result in better score of organizational culture, thus increasing the overall job satisfaction levels.
