The main purpose of the study was to evaluate the teaching practices of teachers at early childhood level in public schools of Pakistan. The objectives of study were to: (a) find out academic and professional qualification of ECE teachers; (b) its impact on student''s learning; (c) teacher''s problems; (d) their teaching practices; and (e) suggestions for the solution of the problems faced by ECE teachers in public schools of Punjab. The major research questions were about: (a) the status of ECE teachers; (b) their competency level regarding qualification; (c) their teaching problems; (d) teaching strategies regard to urban/rural schools of Punjab. The study was conducted on 994 ECE teachers teaching in 9 districts of Punjab. They were selected randomly. The overall response rate was 80% (N=720). Three research instruments were developed for data collection: i) One questionnaire; ii) A teaching competency scale; and A Checklist for classroom observations. ii) Focus group discussions were conducted for incorporation of opinions of educational executives of four districts i-e Faisalabad, Nankana sahib, Narowal, and Sialkot. about the overall status of ECE in public schools. Topics for focus group discussion were also selected with consultation of supervisor. All these tools got validated through experts’ opinion and pilot study. The overall reliability of questionnaire was (.734). The questionnaire and teaching competency scale were administered to ECE teachers of public schools. Checklist was administered to 36 classrooms to observe the level of knowledge of ECE teachers about their connected fields. For this the researcher himself observed each and every classroom to get data as per checklist. The descriptive statistics were used for analysis and interpretation of data, the inferential statistics to determine the significant difference in perceptions of the respondents and the Cohen’s d formula to identify the effects of items of above mentioned research tools. The data collected through questionnaire was used to compare the teaching practices of ECE teachers regarding their gender and locality and to identify the academic and professional status of ECE teachers. The data collected in the shape of results from student records were used to examine the impact of teacher''s academic and professional qualification on student''s learning. It was categories into three levels i.e. excellent, good and average. Teaching competency scale was used to identify the competency level of ECE teachers of public schools about their teaching practices. The classroom observation schedule was used to assess the lesson presentation skills and the use of others related strategies and techniques which are important for ECE teaching. Through this data, level of students was ascertained. Discussion on data analysis was divided into four parts. Part–I illustrates the demographic profile of teachers as well as complete picture of teaching practices of ECE teachers, their academic & professional qualification and its impact on students learning achievements, comparison of teaching practices with respect to gender and location. Part-II describes the level of teaching competencies of ECE teachers about knowledge of children, subject knowledge and professional practices and practical wisdom. Part-III shows the results of observations of classrooms and Part-IV indicates the discussion of focus group of educational executives. The finding shows that majority of ECE teachers were teaching to ECE children by using different strategies at ECE level in public schools and their effect according to Cohen’s d formula was ranged from 0.00 to 0.91. This is range of scores across all the individual teachers. Their competency level was ranged from 0.002 to 0.253 (p value). This is range of scores of perception of ECE teachers about children strengths, subject knowledge and professional practices & practical teaching wisdom. The comparison between teaching practices of male and female ECE teachers has made as per teaching competency scale. The impact of their competency has measured through the achievements of students (table 39). Finding related to the identified indicators for observations of the ECE teachers working in the public schools were showed that 35% to 72% ECE teachers have the knowledge of their observed fields. It means that 28% ECE teachers have no knowledge about their relevant fields. This figure is different in other observations (table 41). Mark means that the desired level (standard) set by the department, parents and society Major findings related to focus group discussion indicated that curriculum for ECE class has developed but no one teacher had any awareness about the curriculum. They were following the text-books considering those a curriculum which was prepared for ECE children. Learning material, teaching kits and provision of A.V.Aids for teaching to ECE children were not ensured. Refresher courses and trainings were not provided to ECE teachers as per required level. The study concluded that the overall conditions for ECE classroom practices were not satisfactory. Many of problems were faced by ECE teachers with regards to their teaching methodology, availability & use of A.V.Aids and learning and teaching material. ECE teachers of public schools were not well equipped professionally to teach the young babies. Finally, some recommendations were made for betterment and development of early childhood education in Pakistan. It was also suggested that future studies in this area should be conducted on different aspects.

اردو زبان کے مشہور پرانے رسالہ زمانہ کے اڈیٹر دیانرائن نگم نے اسی مہینہ وفات پائی، کالج سے نکلنے کے ساتھ انہوں نے بریلی میں زمانہ کو جو اردو کا ایک معمولی رسالہ تھا، اپنی ادارت میں لیا اور اس کو کانپور لائے اور اس حد تک چمکایا کہ اردو کے رسالوں میں گناجانے لگا، بلکہ اس وقت وہ اردو کا سب سے پرانا رسالہ ہے، پریم چند آنجہانی کو وہی سب سے پہلے اسٹیج پر لائے، ان کے علاوہ اور بہت سے اچھے لکھنے والے اور کہنے والے ہندو اور مسلمان نوجوانوں نے ان کے سایۂ قلم میں تربیت پائی اور کہنا چاہئے کہ زمانہ صرف انہی کی بدولت ہندو اور مسلمان اہل قلم کا سنگم اب تک رہا اور اس کو دیکھ کر تسکین ہوتی تھی کہ ہندو مسلمانوں کی پرانی تہذیب کے شیدائی ہندو ابھی تک زندہ ہیں۔
مدت سے جسے دورِ زماں میٹ رہا ہے
امید ہے کہ زمانہ آئندہ بھی اپنے بانی کی یادگار میں اس کی بنائی ہوئی روش پر چلتا رہے گا۔ تاکہ اس اختلاف آباد ہند کی اس آندھی میں دیانرائن کا یہ دیا جلتا رہے۔

Epidemiology of Foot and Mouth Disease in Sheep and Goats in Punjab

Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious disease of ruminants that causes huge economic losses around the globe. However, the prevalence of FMDV in small ruminants has been overlooked in Pakistan. The present study was designed to determine the sero-prevalence of FMD in sheep and goats in Punjab and to identify the prevalent serotypes of virus in sheep and goats in the study area. The efficacy of different commercial vaccines of FMD in sheep and goats under field conditions was also compared. The current study was completed in three phases. In 1 st phase, a seroepidemiological study was conducted in Chakwal, Faisalabad and Khanewal districts of Punjab, Pakistan to determine the prevalence of FMD in sheep and goats. A total 1200 serum samples were collected from sheep (n= 180) and goats (n= 920) and were subjected to 3ABC Non Structural Protein Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay for detection of antibodies against non-structural proteins of FMD virus. In 2 nd phase of study, samples collected from clinical cases were confirmed for FMD virus using RT- PCR and serotyping of virus was done using indirect sandwich ELISA. In 3 rd phase of study, post-vaccine antibody titers were determined in sheep and goats using Indirect Haemagglutination Test (IHAT). One bivalent imported vaccine (Aftebin) and two trivalent vaccines (one imported vaccine, Aftovaxpur and one local vaccine, VRI-FMD) were tested. Results of 1 st phase of study showed that the overall seroprevalence of FMD in sheep and goats was 21 % (n=252) while 19.44 % (n=35) and 21.27 % (n=217) prevalence was recorded in sheep and goats respectively. Highest seroprevalence (32.5%) was observed in southern Punjab (Khanewal), followed by (25.75 %) central Punjab (Faisalabad) and the lowest seroprevalence (4.75 %) was detected in northern Punjab (Chakwal). There was no statistically significant difference in seroprevalence between sheep and goats. Among different risk factors tested, age and sex were found to be significantly associated with the prevalence of disease while pregnancy and herd type had no association with the prevalence of the disease. In 2 nd phase of study, a total of 4 outbreaks were reported during the study period and a total of 13 epithelial tissue samples were collected (10 from goats and 3 from sheep) from these outbreaks. Results with RT- PCR showed that 4 out of 13 field samples were FMD virus. All these 4 positive samples were taken from goats of district Khanewal. Indirect sandwich ELISA was applied to the samples for serotyping of FMD virus and all 4 positive samples were confirmed as IXserotype “O” of FMD virus. Results of 3 rd phase of study showed that highest Geometric Mean Titer against all 3 serotypes of virus was recorded in animals that were injected aftovaxpur followed by aftebin and VRI-FMD vaccine. The current study illustrate that FMD is highly prevalent in sheep and goats in Punjab. Therefore, a broader study is needed to ascertain the countrywide prevalence of FMD in small ruminants.
