He claimed that skilled Pakistani workers would generate handsome foreign exchange in coming years. Iftikhar Babar said the government had also enhanced budget for Overseas Pakistanis from Rs 60 million to Rs 100 million during the fiscal year 2014-15. He informed that 681 Overseas Pakistanis applicants would be provided with welfare fund and each would get Rs 150,000.

The MD OPF said that complaint cells have also been set-up at OPF centres to facilitate the families of Overseas Pakistanis. Liberty Medal for Pakistani PHILADELPHIA: Pakistan’s Malala Yousafzai, who survived being shot by the Taliban because education activist Malala she advocated education for girls, has won the Liberty Medal from the National Constitution Yousafzai Center in Philadelphia. Yousafzai was just 15 when she was shot in the head while returning th from school in Mingora, Pakistan, in October 2012. She had angered the fundamentalist group Palkistan Today 30 June, 2014 by writing about life under the Taliban for the BBC, and arguing that girls should be allowed to pursue an education.“It’s an honor to be awarded the Liberty Medal,” Yousafzai, now 17, said. “I accept this award on behalf of all the children around the world who are struggling to get an education.“ The medal has been awarded annually since 1989, when Polish Solidarity founder Lech Walesa received it first. Since then, recipients have included boxer Mohammad Ali, former US President Jimmy Carter, and, last year, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Yousafzai will receive the award at a ceremony at the center on Oct. 21. After surviving the attack, Yousafzai continued to be an outspoken advocate on education, prompting Gordon Brown, the United Nations Special Envoy for Global Education, to petition the agency to recommit to a goal of universal primary education for children around the world. The petition gained more than 3 million signatures and helped lead Pakistan to pass a Right to Education bill, a first in that country. “Malala’s courageous fight for equality and liberty from tyranny is evidence that a passionate, committed leader, regardless of age, has the power to ignite a movement for reform,” said Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, the chairman of the National Constitution Center. “Every day, around the world, individuals like Ms. Yousafzai are being threatened for asserting the same fundamental rights of speech and religious conscience that are inherent in all people,” said Jeffrey Rosen, the center’s president and chief executive officer. “Yet she is undeterred in her quest. She is an inspiring voice for liberty across the globe.” Pakistan fails to make ISLAMABAD: Despite heavy investment in higher education sector during last 14 years, place among top 100 Pakistan failed to make its place among top 100 universities of Asia. The Times Higher universities of Asia Education (THE), one of the most prestigious ranking agencies worldwide, revealed its ranking of th ‘Asia’s Top 100 Universities 2014.’ The ranking carried quite a few surprises as there were losers International The News 28 June, and winners across Asia. As expected, Japan led with the top university in Asia (University of 2014 Tokyo) followed by Singapore (National University of Singapore) and Hong Kong (The City University of Hong Kong). Japan had the largest number (20) of 100 top ranked universities in Asia, but for the first time ever, 20 universities from China were able to make it to the top 100. South Korea was third with 14 universities and Taiwan with 12 universities. The city of Hong Kong had 6 universities, while Singapore had 2. India was the only country in South Asia which had a presence among top Asian universities with 9 higher education institutions. Among the Muslim countries, Turkey had 5, Iran and Saudi Arabia 3 each, and Lebanon had one. According to THE, thoughtfully 13 calibrated performance indicators are employed to rank an institution. These include: the teaching and learning environment, volume, income and reputation of research, citations of research (indicating influence), and industry income that serves as evidence of innovation and global outlook as assessed in terms of the collaboration between staff, students and researchers with international colleagues. The disappointing fact was Pakistan’s absence from the list, neither making it in South Asia, nor among the Muslim countries. China, which has focused on higher education in the last 10 years, was able to top the list with 20 universities. Even war-torn Lebanon had one university in the league. The UK based Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World Universities Rankings ranked seven Pakistani universities among the top Asian universities in 2013, from zero in 2009. However in the most recent ranking of Times Higher Education (THE), yet another prestigious UK ranking agency, no Pakistani university made it to the top World or Asian University. Academia termed it a matter of concern and stressed the need of research-led teaching. They said basic requirement for improving the standard of universities was to have highly qualified faculty experienced in research.

[email protected] Hafiz Muhammad Iqbal Dean, Faculty of Education, University of the Punjab, Lahore, Pakistan. [email protected] Abstract At present a number of initiatives are being taken from various bodies for bringing qualitative reform in teacher education in Pakistan. To make these measures more focused and cost effective, there is a dire need to identify the significant areas/aspects of quality improvement. This paper presents the findings of the study which was focused on identifying the quality indicators in teacher education programmes and ranking them in the light of perceptions of teacher educators working at public university of Pakistan. It was found that faculty of teacher education institutions (TEIs) considered 17 indicators most important, 12 indicators moderately important and one indicator little important. ‘Teachers’ professional development’ received top most rating whereas ‘publication of self assessment reports’ was the bottom ranked indicator. This study is significant in the sense that it generated primary data about quality assurance in teacher education in Pakistan. The findings of this study have implications for HEC, Accreditation Council for Teacher Education and TEIs’ management for highlighting the important aspects which may be focused for quality improvement in teacher education programmes. For assessing quality of academic programmes using the suggested quality indicators, it is recommended that standards in the form of statements may be formulated for each indicator.

The main objective of this study is to find out the role of universities in transforming the students as true professionals. The research is conducted on one university of Lahore, Pakistan. It includes the analysis of data of students collected at their entry and exit level. The gap analysis between the two clearly defines the role of university in transforming the students. Keywords: Universities, Transform, Students Introduction The typical role of education is to shift the knowledge of one generation, usually the formal, to the other, usually the next (A W Astin, 1977; Schultz, 1971). The educational institutes facilitate and formalize this role (Lambooy, 2004). The institutes of higher education have an additional role, as discussed by De Weert (1999), of equipping the students with knowledge of their being (Gibbons, 1998), of their self (Alexander W Astin, 1977), of their environment (Gumport, 2002), of the society they are living in (Jarvis, 2001), of the expectations of their parents (Weinstein & Weinstein, 2002), or in more comprehensive vocabulary, the meaning of life, in addition to the shifting of the knowledge of their yester generation.
