Student leadership has emerged as an important topic in contemporary educational literature (Abrahim, 2011; Hine, 2012). Successive educational policies and curriculum documents in Pakistan emphasize students' leadership development in schools, however, schools seem to put little or no efforts to promote and nurture students' leadership skills. There scant of literature on student leadership in Pakistan. This study explored the experiences of Grade 10 students of mixed groups including Science, Arts and Computer Science about the practices that promote/hinder their leadership skills in public and private secondary schools of Ghizer district, GB. This study was conducted using concurrent mixed method research design where quantitative and qualitative data was collected and analyzed simultaneously. Purposive and random sampling techniques were used to select the research sample. Out of 17 secondary schools (11 public and 6 private), four public and four private schools were sampled for data collection. Moreover, 220 Grade 10 students and two head teachers were the research participants. The data collection tools include survey questionnaire, semi-structured interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings of the study revealed that the schools' vision, school development plan and Punishment policies about students help in promoting students' leadership skills in public and private schools. Students, irrespective of the school system and gender, positively view the practices of schools towards their leadership development. The qualitative data findings second students' views that schools arrange and encourage students' participation in the number of classroom, outside classroom and other related activities to improve their leadership skills. The findings indicate that schools face challenges in terms of system policies, resources, and relationships. Study results further revealed that schools employ some strategies to overcome the challenges that hinder schools' and teachers' efforts to promote students' leadership skills.

قاضی محمد عدیل عباسی

قاضی محمد عدیل عباسی
جناب قاضی محمد عدیل عباسی مرحوم کی رحلت کی خبر دارالمصنفین میں بہت ہی رنج و الم کے ساتھ سنی گئی، مرحوم قوم و ملت دونوں کے لیے بہت ہی مخلصانہ جذبات رکھتے تھے، وہ ایک اچھے خدمت گزارِ ملت کے ساتھ ہی بڑے سچے محبِ وطن بھی تھے، انھوں نے اپنی علمی سرگرمیوں سے یہ عملی نمونہ پیش کیا کہ ایک سچا مسلمان ہی سچا محبِ وطن ہوسکتا ہے۔ قاضی صاحب نے اردو، علی گڑھ اور مسلمانوں کی دینی تعلیم کے لیے جو خدمات انجام دی ہیں وہ مدتِ مدید تک یاد رہیں گی۔ (صباح الدین عبدالرحمن، جون ۱۹۸۰ء)

قاضی محمد عدیل عباسی
جناب قاضی محمد عدیل عباسی کے انتقال کو کئی مہینے ہوگئے، دارالمصنفین سے ان کو جو اخلاص و تعلق تھا، اس کا تقاضا تھا کہ ان کے ذکر سے معارف خالی نہ رہے، اس لئے تاخیر کے باوجود اس تحریر کی اشاعت نامناسب نہ ہوگی۔
قاضی محمد عدیل صاحب کا تعلق ضلع بستی کے ایک کھاتے پیتے زمیندار گھرانے سے تھا مگر ابتداء ہی سے ان کا رجحان قوم پروری اور حب الوطنی کی تحریک کی جانب ہوگیا تھا، اس لئے کالج کی تعلیم چھوڑ کر وہ علمی سیاست میں داخل ہوگئے، ان کو اس میدان میں پنڈت جواہر لال نہرو، رفیع احمد قدوائی، مولانا حسین احمد مدنی اور مولانا حفظ الرحمان وغیرہ کے ساتھ کام کرنے کا موقع ملا، خلافت، ترک موالات اور ہندوستان چھوڑ دو، تحریکوں میں سرگرم حصہ لینے کی بنا پر وہ کئی بار جیل گئے۔

Terrorism is such a dangerous disease that has destroyed peace of many nations of the world. Terrorism, in all its forms, is condemnable. The author of this paper tried to encompass all the important factors and causes, which generate and consolidate terrorism in its different forms. This paper presents various causes of the phenomenon of terrorism, which include the material causes, the psychological causes, the behavioral causes, the political causes, the social causes, the economic causes and the ideological causes. The last segment of this dissertation discusses the remedies of the problem of terrorism. The necessary measures and suggestions have been suggested by the author to control the monster of terrorism. These includes to promote a moderate religious approach through education and preaching; to remove the misconception of the west against Islām; to refine our education and teaching methods by including relevant psychology and morality; our youth needs to use their energy in the social welfare activities to save them from becoming a victim of extremists and terrorists for having no purpose of life and for being idle; the Muslim rulers need to get close to their masses and remove alienation; a confident, unanimous condemnation from the responsible circles of the society should be promulgated; the youth must not rebel against their rulers and must not indulge in the matters of excommunication.

Effect of Primary School Teachers Perceived Motivation on Their Performance in Sindh

This mixed study examined the associations and effect of primary school teachers’ intrinsic and extrinsic motivation towards their performance assessed by respective head-teachers. The multi-stage random sampling involved 348 teacher-respondents and 40 head-teachers of District Hyderabad, Sindh. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected through adapted questionnaires having 48 five-point Likert-scale items and three open-ended questions. Data were analyzed through SPSS package of 16.00 for descriptive and inferential statistical analyses at 0.05 confidence-intervals. Descriptive statistics revealed that teachers ranked their intrinsic motivation better (mean ranged1.62 to 2.18 for 11items) against extrinsic motivation (mean ranged from 2.50 to 3.97 for 14 items).Teachers’ 13 performance items did not catch supporting evidence i.e. means ranged from 1.93 to 3.97 (with 2.82 mean of means) which is disappointing one. Regarding multiple linear regression, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation significantly and moderately predicted respondents’ performance, R=.299a, r2=.290 (adjusted r2=.284), F(2, 245)=16.979, p<.001.They accounted for 29.9% variability in respondents’ performance showing better effect (unstandard beta=.306 or 30%) of extrinsic motivation t(345)=3.926, p=.000 against intrinsic one (unstandard beta=.200 or 20%)t(345)=3.926, p=.001.Regression analysis of demographical predictors reveal unsatisfactory picture despite being significant (p=.000a) with moderate level of correlation, R=.521a, r2=.272 (adjusted r2=.239), F(15, 332)=8.265, p<.001.Only two predictors i.e. xiv teaching experience and average education of family members got significant beta coefficients and p-values (p=<.05) while others (13) discarded. Difference regarding independent-samples t-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) reveal that females; widow/widower/divorced; teachers with no other source of income; and teachers with higher academic qualifications, professional qualifications, age, and monthly salary obtain statistically significant and better performance than their counterparts. Feasible suggestions collected through open-ended questions are incorporated in recommendations. Key words: intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, primary school teachers’ performance,
