The study investigated the instructional leadership behaviors of secondary school principals, as perceived by teachers and principals, and the potential relationship between these behaviors and school climate. The method adopted for the present investigation can be described as being normative statistical in nature. Use of informative statistics has also been made to arrive at results based on empirical data. For the purpose of this study, a quantitative survey was used to gather the data and thus answer the research questions. The purpose of the survey research was to generalize from a sample of teacher and principal perceptions regarding principal instructional leadership behavior so that inferences could be made regarding the possible relationship between reported principal behaviors and student achievement. Initially, 19 secondary schools agreed to participate in the study. This cohort included 11 schools that were working in public and 8 that were working as private institute. However, the survey was voluntary for both principals and teachers, resulting in only eight public sector schools and seven private schools choosing to participate. Principal Instructional Management Scale (PIMRS) and School Organizational Climate Descriptive Questionnaire (SOCDQ) were two major instruments which used in the study. A total of 15 principals and 176 teachers responded to the survey. In order to address the two null hypotheses and associated research questions associated with this study, several ANOVA outputs were analyzed. Both null hypotheses were rejected because there were statistically significant differences found in perceptions between public and private sector cohorts, and within cohorts between principals and teachers. The analysis reveals that even-though, overall trends of the profiles are similar yet marked differences have been found on the different dimensions of organizational climate. This indicates that within the given organizational climate, there may be various levels and variations. This establishes the hypothesis that schools differ in their organizational climate even within the specified climate. In other words, every institution has its own organizational climate which gives it a distinct personality.

دل رو رو وقت گزار گیا
غم یار دا سانوں مار گیا

جدوں ماہی دے کول وسدے سی
دکھ ویکھ اسانوں نسدے سی
لوکی روندے تے اسیں ہسدے سی
کوئی دشمن دا چل وار گیا

دل یار نوں ڈھونڈن چلیا اے
کر وعدہ یار نہ ولیا اے
میرے دل وچ بھانبھڑ بلیا اے
تیر شوق دا ہو ہن پار گیا

دل یار بناء ہون رہندا نئیں
اے درد ہجر دے سہندا نئیں
دکھ درد کسے نوں اے کہندا نئیں
سکھ چین تے نال قرار گیا

عشق دے روگوں رب بچائے
یار بنا ہن چین نہ آئے
شوق سجن دا ودھدا جائے
کیوں سوہنا یار وسار گیا

قادری سائیںؔ عشق بازار نہ جاویں
جاویں تاں سچا عشق کماویں
ہک دن درشن یار دا پاویں
سوہنا ملے تاں دکھ ہزار گیا

ازدواجی زندگی میں عورت کا مقام: ادیان عالم اور معروف تہذیبوں کا ایک تحقیقی و تقابلی جائزہ

In our existing society marital life is going to be distress and unbalanced, the media has affected our family life, very badly. The question is being raised, that there is no importance of a woman in Islam, whereas a man has fully control over a woman. Further, the bill of protection for a woman is being discussed openly on media, which has created many complications and difficulties. In this regard, the help has been taken from the Islamic teachings (Qur┐n and Ah┐dīth), and as well as, the status of a woman has been analyzed in the light of the other religions and cultures, to clear the serious and significant matters of this draft. Islam is a nonviolent and peaceful religion, and no space for any kind of brutality. If any person himself claimed to be a Muslim, and tries to relate his own harmful thoughts with Islamic teachings, it will be his own view, whereas, Islam has no room such type of thing

Towards Inclusive Education in a Developing Country Context: Teachers Opinions About How They Can Better Support Children With Special Needs Who are Already Present in Mainstream School

The philosophy of inclusive education, is the worldwide advocacy of provision of education to children with special needs in the mainstream schools, regardless of their abilities. Both developed and developing countries are trying to implement the objectives of inclusive education. However, successes and failures have been noted in all of those countries. This suggests that the way to full inclusion is tough and challenging, especially for most of the developing countries, which are constrained by poor economy. This study therefore, was an attempt to find an alternative approach for inclusion in the contexts of developing countries. It was conducted in a privately owned primary school in a suburb of Karachi, Pakistan, to explore the teachers' perceptions of how they can accommodate pupils with special needs though physically present in schools but excluded from the curriculum and/or social activities. This exclusion goes hand in hand with giving them labels like slow learners, underachievers etc. The findings of the study have shown that emotional, behavioural and attention problems are the major challenges faced by teachers in dealing with pupils with special needs in the school. Other challenges, that were revealed, were related to academics, classroom size and limited knowledge of teachers on how to deal with the said pupils. The study has revealed that creating a friendly environment at school, and application of different teaching strategies that can meet the learning needs of diverse pupils in the classrooms, can help to address some of these problems. This study has also shown the need for school administrations to support the efforts made by teachers in dealing with pupils with special needs, by considering the number of pupils in the classrooms, and the time required by teachers for preparation of their lessons and contact hours with their pupils. In addition, the study has revealed the need for training teachers in special needs education so as to enable them to understand the problems of their pupils and act accordingly. The study insists on effective communication in and outside schools to facilitate appropriate help both at school and at home. In order to achieve all these teachers need to devote themselves willingly accept and the role of dealing with all pupils in their classrooms. As an alternative approach, schools in developing countries need to meet the needs of all pupils who are already in schools, before they look towards the inclusion of other types of special
