Ÿ To act as a feeder institution for preparing boys for commissioned ranks in the Defence Forces of Pakistan. Ÿ To impart education and ensure character building and training of the students to make them useful and prolific members of the society at large. 2 Structure and Functioning. College is functioning under the auspices of Human Resource Development Directorate of Inspector General Training and Evaluation Branch, GHQ. The College is headed by a Commandant and is organized into Academic and Administrative Wings. The Academic Wing is headed by Chief Instructor who is assisted by heads of departments and a rich faculty. The Administrative Wing is headed by a separate office. Boarding Houses. The students are distributed into five boarding houses. Each house is supervised by a House Master who is assisted by House Officers. Houses at MCM are named after martyrs i.e. Sher Khan House, Lalak Jan House, Aziz Bhatti House, Mehfooz House and Tufail House (Junior House). Curriculum. MCM is affiliated with Federal Board and offers intermediate level education in pre-medical, pre-engineering and computer sciences. College Academic Council. Academic Council comprises senior staff members, headed by Commandant. It is primarily responsible for setting general parameters, pertaining to educational matters and formulating plans for their implementation. The council also directs research and development projects and oversees guidance and counseling. 3 Academic Guidance. An elaborate system of academic guidance is built within the overall academic training at MCM. Efficacy of the system is reflected in the remarkable performance of students in the Board Examinations. The paradigm of the academic guidance rests on regular classes, extra coaching classes for weak students and time-tested academic evaluation system. Assessment. Students’ assessment is carried out through a time- honoured system of evaluation. The overall standing is determined on the basis of academic results, conduct and participation in co-curricular activities and games. A student’s promotion to next class is not guaranteed; it is granted on the basis of academic performance, discipline and overall conduct. The final authority, in this regard, rests with the College and in case of very bad discipline, the student may have to repeat a year, or leave the college. Academic Facilities. Conventional classroom teaching is supplemented with modern training aids as required for each subject. The College has well-equipped Science, Computer and Language Laboratories, Audio-Visual Rooms and a rich Library. 4 Informal Education. The perspective on development of a wholesome and healthy personality goes much beyond mere mustering of textual knowledge. A broad body of highly-structured ‘Informal Education’ is implemented at the College through a wide array of events and activities to augment a student’s ethical and moral values, interpersonal and managerial skills, pastimes and habits, dress and mess etiquettes, hygiene and health, confidence and character, rights and responsibilities and correct religious and spiritual learning. The activities also include prominent guest speakers and educational visits for enhancing general awareness among the students. Leadership Training. The College caters for leadership training and character building of its students. The daily schedule of classroom instruction, co-curricular pursuits and supervised house routine is specifically tailored to contribute tangibly towards the grooming of the students. Training is imparted to the students by giving them responsibilities especially through prefectorial system at the College and House levels. Appointments are rotated after a pre-determined period to spread the leadership training canvas. 5 Co-curricular Activities. A series of co-curricular activities are held at the College throughout the year. These activities help the students improve and refine their creative and social skills, broaden their mental horizon and widen their breadth of general outlook. The Literary Society established at the College, called Bazm-e-Adab provides a forum where students express their literary talent and an opportunity is afforded to them to excel in this field. There is a lot of emphasis on the development of public speaking skills. To provide ample opportunities to the students for realizing their potential to the full, clubs at the College functions round the year. These include Drama Club, Debating Club, Science Club, Fine Arts Club, Riding Club, Photography Club, Computer Club etc. Movies and documentaries are screened and social get-togethers are meant to be a healthy interlude to break the routine. Physical Training. Emphasis is laid on physical training and sports. All the students are encouraged and afforded an opportunity to participate in sports. Inter-House sports competitions and sports fixtures with sister institutions are also held. Adequate sports facilities are available, like football and cricket grounds, and basketball, volleyball, tennis and squash courts. A multipurpose hall with indoor sports facilities with a modern gymnasium will also be built. 6 College Annual Day. Annual Day includes the much awaited Annual Prize Distribution Ceremony. It is organized befittingly with requisite pomp and show and is attended by a large number of parents, guests and dignitaries. 7 INDUCTION SYSTEM Introduction.

    Pakistan Country Reports on Human Rights Practices

    Pakistan Page 1 of 35 Pakistan Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2002 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 31, 2003 Pakistan is a federal republic. From a bloodless coup in October 1999 to elections in October, Pakistan was governed by a Provisional Constitutional Order (PCO), which suspended the constitution and parliamentary government. On April 30, President Musharraf held a nationwide referendum to extend his presidency for 5 years, although critics and legal scholars argued that a president cannot be elected by referendum. President Musharraf claimed a 97.5 percent vote in favor of the extension; however, many independent observers cited evidence of systematic fraud and inflated voting figures. Shortly after the referendum, President Musharraf announced a controversial package of constitutional amendments, the Legislative Framework Order (LFO), which amended the suspended Constitution to allow: the President to dismiss the Prime Minister and dissolve the Parliament; the creation of a National Security Council (NSC) as a constitutional body; and the insertion of a number of qualification requirements for candidates for Parliament. One effect of the amendments was to concentrate executive power in the presidency at the expense of the legislature and prime minister. Opposition politicians, lawyers, civil society groups, and many in the international community expressed concern about the amendment package and its constitutional legitimacy. Under the auspices of the LFO-amended constitution, Pakistan held its first national and provincial assembly elections since the October 1999 coup. International observers, NGOs, and human rights activists, including the European Union election observation mission (EUEOM), alleged serious flaws in the national and provincial election framework; however, these observers stated that the election day itself was free of serious irregularities.

Interviewed by: Emily Thurber Initial interview date: December 1990 Copyright 1998 ADST Bio-sketch Including Pre-USIA Employment Q: This is Emily Thurber. I am going to interview my husband, James Thurber, for the USIA Oral History Project. Jim, I thought you could begin by telling a bit about your education, your background, your early life, and then how you got interested in the Foreign Service. THURBER: I joined the Foreign Service in 1967. It was the third career, the first being a reporter/editor with The Wall Street Journal from 1952 to 1956, followed by 11 years at Stanford University in a variety of jobs, from a writer in the fund raising office to Assistant to the Provost, the position I held when I left Stanford in 1967, but I'm getting ahead of the story. To back up right to the beginning, I was raised in Milton, Massachusetts, just outside of Boston, educated most of my earlier education at Milton Academy and, from there, I went for a year to the Thatcher School in Ojai, California, and then on up the coast to Stanford where I graduated in 1950. Interview with James P. Thurber Jr. http://www.loc.gov/item/mfdipbib001178 Library of Congress Needless to say, probably the most important thing about my education was the fact that I met Emy while at Stanford, and we were married during my last quarter at the university, she having completed two years.

    Tales of Pakistan, 1981

    1 TALES OF PAKISTAN, 1981 WHY A TRIP TO PAKISTAN? As I write this in 2018, Pakistan seems a risky place for a vacation for a westerner, even in the cities, and above all in the tribal areas along the border of Afghanistan. It was a different matter in 1981. In October that year, I spent three weeks in Pakistan as the guest of Khwaja Azam Ali, a man who had been my office mate for a few years while we were fellow post-graduate students at the University of Tasmania. I had been closely involved with the preparation of Ali’s thesis. Before returning to his university job in Islamabad, he told me that I would be welcome to visit. Towards the end of 1981, I needed to use some accumulated vacation from my first job, before I expected to leave for a university position in the USA. I thought about New Zealand, but settled on Pakistan – when would I have another chance? If I’d selected a destination for its tourist potential, I would most likely have opted for India instead of Pakistan, but I had an invitation, and a friend to visit. Many of my subsequent travel plans have been made for similar reasons. So I bought myself an airline ticket to Lahore via Singapore and Karachi. In those days I liked to prepare for travel by learning some of the local language. While we had been students in Tasmania, Ali had taught me a little Urdu. I had actually heard of the language in a strange context years before.

    1 ISLAM and the CONTEMPORARY DISCOURSE on COLLECTIVE IDENTITY 1. This Ironical Situation, Imbued with Contradictions, Has Furthe

    Notes 1 ISLAM AND THE CONTEMPORARY DISCOURSE ON COLLECTIVE IDENTITY 1. This ironical situation, imbued with contradictions, has further margin­ alized Muslim communities across the United Kingdom. For instance, the British Sikhs of Punjabi ethnic stock are a separate ethnic/racial category whereas the Punjabi Muslims belonging to the same Punjabi ethnicity are not a separate category. Efforts at providing umbrella legislation to decry all sorts of discrimination have not been successful despite the sympathetic concern of prominent bodies like the Commission for Racial Equality (CRE) and some solitary parliamen­ tary voices. Based on a personal interview with the Chairman of CRE in London, March 1996. 2. For instance, see Aziz al-Azmeh, /slams and Modernities, London, 1994. However, such a view, though apparently quite powerful and very 'dangerous' from an orthodox Muslim viewpoint, still remains unsub­ stantiated. It may be the agenda for a rigorous intellectual dialogue in the twenty-first century, but still appears to be too generalist. No single community, however minuscule it may be, like the Parsis or the Jews, could be characterized as a monolithic entity, so that expecting Islam to build an all-pervasive and uniformed identity is itself an unrealistic reading of Islamic history. 3. For many Western authors and certain Muslim scholars like Maulana Maududi, Islam and the West are poles apart. Half-baked ideas about Islamic specificity in recent decades are either rooted in ignorance or are contrived to suit a narrow agenda for Islamization. Several other Muslim thinkers see a basic coherence in the two traditions without any justification for mutual negation.
