The 18th Constitutional Amendment has also played important role in devolution plan to divide the education to the provinces. In this backdrop, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has undertaken major education reform initiative for improving overall governance, infrastructure and teaching, learning and management processes. One such initiative is the recruitment of Assistant Sub-Divisional Education Officers (ASDEOs) for a particular jurisdiction called circle office with a responsibility of turning schools around by working with/in schools for 15 days of every month while the remaining 15 days are dedicated to their circle office work. At school they are expected to carry out teacher observation, students’ assessment, observation of management and leadership, giving feedback to teachers and reporting the results to the education department. The present qualitative case study research examined the perceptions and practices of two ASDEOs (one male and female) working in a circle office of Chitral about their role in improving classroom teaching and learning. The Participants were selected through purposive sampling strategy. Data collection methods included interviews, document analysis and shadowing. Following the case study approach, the two cases i.e. perceptions and practices of the two ASDEOs were analyzed and presented separately followed by a cross-case analysis.The study has found that both the participants played important role as the motivator of parents, teacher and students. Their improvement related efforts focused on building teachers’ professional capacity and also acting as classroom or academic leaders in schools. The study revealed that both the participants strived to implement policy related initiatives at the schools. The study also explored differences in views and strategies of participants. For example working towards gender equity was particularly focused by female participants. Similarly, Male participant considered use of technology waste of time but the female participant considered technology helpful in reducing workload and wastage of time. Both used personal feedback to the teachers as an important strategy. However, for this communication the female participants used teachers’ personal diaries while the male participant used oral feedback. He also considered teachers’ interest more important than professional development towards change in schools, while the female participant considered both important for school improvement. The study found that absence of transport facility, heavy workload, teachers’ poor capacity and lack of authority to take independent measures limited their efforts towards improving teaching learning processes in the schools of their respective circle office. Considering the importance of ASDEOs in reform implementation at school level, the

وسدی جھوک دے لوگ

وسدی جھوک دے لوگ

اساں وسدی جھوک دے لوگ ھاسے

 

ساڈیاں جھمراں میلے جاگے ہن

ساڈے سارے بھاگ سھاگے ہن

 

ایں ہسدے وسدے ویلے وچ

ہک دھرتی جایا آیا ھا

 

ساکوں نندروں آنڑ جگایا ھا

او روشن سجھ امیدیں دا

 

او نور ھا ساڈیاں دیدیں دا

پر وقت دے اندھے آمر کوں

 

اونھ ویلھے دے ہک جابر کوں

ساڈا رل کے جیونڑ نی بھانڑاں

 

ساڈا سانجھا تھیونڑ نی بھانڑاں

او غاصب روح دیاں فصلاں دا

 

او قاتل ساڈیاں نسلاں دا

اونھ خوشبو کو زنجیر کیتا

 

ساڈے سجھ کوں آنڑ اسیر کیتا

پچھیں رات اندھاری ڈھک گئی اے

 

اوندیں نانویں وینڑ کریندے ھویں

اونھ نسل دی کمر وی جھک گئی اے

 

رل سانجھا تھیو مڑ چاھندے ہن

متاں وستیاں ساڈیاں وس پوون

متاں جھوک تے ساول ول آوے

 

اینہ آس تے ھنڑ پئے جیندے ھیں

اوندا لعل بلاول ول آوے

اسلامی بینکوں میں رائج مرابحہ للآمر بالشراء میں عقدِ وکالت کی تطبیق: ایک جائزہ

The graph of development of Islamic Banking system is increasing day by day. It deals only those transaction which are not conflict with Shari'ah. Therefor the procedure of transaction of Islamic Banking is completely different from the conventional Banking system. Murābaha (Cost plus sale) or Murābaha li al-Āamir be al-Shēraá. (Cost plus sale for the purchase orderer) is a well-known financing mood. In this mood of financing, the Islamic bank bound to buy the required goods to the orderer and to sells him at higher price than the purchase price. Islamic Banks occasionally appoints an agent to buy the goods. Sometime the Islamic Banks appoints the purchase ordere himself as an agent. In this case, the contract of Murabaha and the contract of agency should not be related to each other. When the purchase orderer buys the goods as an agent, he will inform the Bank of his purchase, and the possession of the agent will be considered as the possession of the Bank. In this way, both contracts Murābaha and Wakālah are not related to each other. After this, the Bank will offer to sell him (purchase orderer) the goods and then he will accept the offer.

Effect of Chelating Agents, Fungi and Native Plants on Remediation of Metals Contaminated Soils

In present research work four different peri-urban agricultural areas of Punjab (Gujranwala, Kasur, Lahore and Multan) were surveyed in the first phase (2012-2013). Total 138 contaminated soil samples, 131 waste water samples and 131 native plant samples were collected and analyzed. Physiochemical analysis of soil and waste water samples was done and also processed for fungal isolation. Native plants samples were analyzed for heavy metal contents (Cu, Cd, Pb and Cr). In overall assessment Pb, Cd and Cr were noticed above recommended permissible values in soil samples of all the study areas. Whereas Cu was found above the recommended permissible limits only in samples of Multan and Gujranwala as compared to Kasur and Lahore soil samples. Physiochemical analysis of wastewater samples also showed high EC, bicarbonates, chlorides and sodium in collected samples of Multan however, Kasur samples showed salinity problems. In case of heavy metals in waste water samples Pb and Cd contamination was found in all the four areas. But Cr contamination was found more in Multan and Lahore waste water samples. Native plants of Multan were found contaminated with Cd. In case of Kasur Cr was found maximum in native plant samples. Plants samples of Lahore were also showing Pb, Cu, Cr and Cd contamination. In case of fungal diversity maximum number of fungi were isolated from heavy metal contaminated samples of Multan, Kasur, Lahore and Gujranwala.
