Management and Business education industry is considered to be in the era of mushroom growth as variety of programs is offered throughout the world, and similar is the trend of admissions and enrolments in such schools. However, this expansion has made business education much commercial. Today business schools are somehow being criticized for not fulfilling their roles and responsibilities with much rigor and concern, particularly in imparting practical and pragmatic knowledge hence; the quality and value offered to the stake holders become questionable. The researcher therefore considered it important and researchable to explore that what business schools are all about? What education system they are following to impart practical knowledge? And are they being able to satisfy their stakeholders or not? How much industry should be involved in edification process to enhance the practicality and relevancy? The researcher has also recommended a possible mode of industry and school partnership namely pragmatic business edification (PBE) Model. The dissertation also collected responses of the stakeholders about proposed partnership, using focus group survey. The study was descriptive in nature. Interviews, Questionnaires and Focus group methods were used to collect data. 20 key informant interviews were conducted to gain a better understanding of the education quality and system. In addition, a total of 200 students and alumni’s were approached for the survey asking about the effectiveness of business schools in preparing them for the industry. The focus group study included twenty (20) professionals from education and other industries of Pakistan, exploring the potential benefits and possible hindrances in implementing proposed model. Research showed that there is an unsatisfactory perception of the education system design that management institutions are following at present. Currently the business education is partially fulfilling the requirements of industry and it is imperative for business schools to look for new, enhanced, and more effectual ways of imparting business knowledge. By working with industry business schools can intensify their efforts to fulfill employer needs. Therefore school-industry collaboration opportunities are needed to be adequately and effectively explored.

مولانامعین الدین اجمیری

مولانا معین الدین اجمیرؔی
۱۰؍ محرم الحرام ۱؂ ۱۳۵۹؁ھ عین عاشورہ کے دن علم و عمل فضل و کمال، مجاہدہ و استقامت وطہارت کی ایک ایسی مسند خالی ہوئی جو غالباً عرصۂ دراز تک خالی رہے گی، اِنَّا لِلّٰہِ وَاِنَّا اِلَیْہِ رَاجِعُوْنَ۔
اس سے ہماری مراد حضرت مولانا معین الدین اجمیری رحمۃ اﷲ علیہ کا سانحۂ ارتحال ہے، یہ حادثہ محض مولانا کے اہل خاندان یا مسلمانانِ اجمیر ہی کے لئے نہیں ہے، بلکہ سارا اسلامی ہند اس سے متاثر اور اپنی کم نصیبی پر نوحہ کناں ہے۔
وَمَا کَانَ قَیْس’‘ ھَلَکَ ھُلَکَ وَاحِدٍ
وَلٰکِنَّہٗ بُنْیَان قُوْمٍ تھَدّما
مولانا ایک نومسلم گھرانے میں پیدا ہوئے تھے، والد ماجد مولانا عبدالرحمن صاحب مرحوم بلیاؔ کے رہنے والے نومسلم راجپوت تھے اور والدہ بھی داخل اسلام ہوئی تھیں اور دانا پور (بہار) ان کا گھر تھا تعلق راجپوتانہ سے اس طرح پیدا ہوا کہ مولانا عبدالرحمن صاحب ریاست ٹونک میں سیکریٹری کونسل تھے، چار یا پانچ سو روپیہ ماہوار تنخواہ تھی، اسی علاقہ میں دیولی (راجپوتانہ) میں ۲۵؍ صفر ۱۲۹۹؁ء کو پیدا ہوئے اور باپ کے زیر سایہ زندگی کی ابتدائی منزلیں طے ہوئیں، بچپن ہی سے سعادت و فیروز مندی کے آثار نمایاں تھے، چنانچہ دولت و ثروت کی گود میں پلنے والے اس نوجوان نے ہمیشہ طالبعلموں میں مساوات ہی کی زندگی بسر کی، امیرانہ ٹھاٹھ اور رئیسانہ شان کا کبھی مظاہرہ نہ کیا۔
قسمت کی خوبی اور نصیب کی بلندی نے خاتم المحققین حضرت مولانا سید برکاتؔ احمد صاحب (بہاری، ثم) ٹونکی سے تلمذ کا رشتہ قائم کرایا، اس تعلق سے مولانا کا سلسلۂ تلمذ یہ ہے۔
حضرت مولانا معین الدین صاحب اجمیری رحمۃ اﷲ علیہ
حضرت مولانا سیّد برکات احمد صاحب ٹونکی رحمۃ اﷲ علیہ
حضرت مولانا عبدالحق صاحب خیرآبادی رحمۃ اﷲ علیہ
حضرت مولانا فضل حق صاحب خیرآبادی رحمۃ اﷲ علیہ

Contours of Hope: Dissecting Racial Discourse in Francis Duggan's Poetry

This study employs Theodor Adorno's theory of Aesthetics of Resistance to illuminate the intricate interplay between racial discourse and hope in the poetry of Francis Duggan. Through meticulous analysis, this research uncovers how Duggan's verses serve as a form of aesthetic resistance against prevailing racial prejudices. The study investigates the deliberate use of metaphors, imagery, and narrative techniques to convey messages of hope and empowerment within the context of racial discrimination. By examining the aesthetic choices made by Duggan, this research sheds light on the transformative potential of art in challenging and subverting dominant power structures. Ultimately, this investigation offers a nuanced understanding of how Duggan's poetry transcends mere literary expression, emerging as a potent tool for advocating racial equity and social change within the framework of Adorno's Aesthetics of Resistance.

Promoting Student-Student Interaction in Large Esl Primary Government School Classes of Pakistan

Teaching large classes is always seen as problematic by the teachers. In most of the cases it is found that the teachers do not feel comfortable to provide opportunities to the learners in large ESL classes because of fear of losing control over students. This study reveals the attempt made to promote interaction among students in large ESL classes in the government school classes of Karachi, Pakistan. The study engaged a class of 49 students of grade four. The study was conducted as action research. Additional data was collected through participant observation and reflection. The English language teacher of the class in which the study was conducted was involved as a critical friend for the observation and reflection of the classroom teaching. Interviews with the teacher were conducted at the beginning and end of the study to understand the teacher's beliefs and attitude towards interaction in large ESL classes. Finally, learners were interviewed to find out their perception about the same. The study reveals the challenges I faced while promoting interaction in large ESL classes. It also indicates the strategies I tried out to overcome the challenges. Furthermore, it shows how teachers and learners in large ESL classes perceive promoting interaction among students. The study also highlights the factors that facilitate interaction among students in large ESL classes. Finally recommendations and implications are made for the teachers, teacher educators, and the school context.
