PRP will achieve this goal through three objectives: teacher training, policy reform, and community support for reading in Pakistan. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016-17, PRP implemented the approved quarter 4 activities as per revised life of project work plan submitted to USAID. PRP field activities continued in focused districts across Pakistan, and in parallel, PRP after receiving approval of quarterly work plan (July to September 2017) by the FATA Secretariat, held multiple meetings with relevant education department officials and other stakeholders to brief them on the objectives of PRP interventions and their positive impact on the students and teachers of the region. Moreover, PRP received modification approval letter from USAID of project activities till 2020. PRP’s component 1 successfully completed revision of year 1 TIG modules (1-10) in Urdu and Sindhi. The revised Urdu modules were reviewed and endorsed by provincial/regional MRCs. Similarly, the teachers in cohort 1 districts continued participating in quarterly TIG meetings and some teachers from cohort 2 districts started their first quarterly TIG meeting during the quarter. In addition, project also continued arranging quarterly review meetings with academic supervisors in cohort 1 and 2 districts. Project also continued collaboration with READ Foundation in AJK and GB through training teachers and head teachers. PRP’s scholarship program disbursed scholarship installments to 90 students enrolled in B.Ed. (Hons.) degree program. Under material development, the designing and layout of grade 2 Urdu & Sindhi lesson plans and workbook was completed in this quarter. PRP has initiated printing of grade 1 Reading Learning Material (RLM) package for FATA schools. The layout, design and illustrations of Pashto reading & learning material for grade 1 were also finalized by the project. Moreover, the second session of first group of writers’ capacity building workshop was held at Islamabad. Total 24 (20 M; 4 F) writers of thirteen local languages from different regions of Pakistan participated in this session. As a result, participants developed and finalized 13 big books and 13 decodable stories in 13 local languages. During the reporting quarter, component 2 key achievements entail approval of Pashto reading standards and revised scheme of studies by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Steering Committee. Likewise, the Reading Improvement Strategies (RIS) framework for Balochistan, GB and KP were approved in respective provincial steering committee meetings. Another major achievement was the notification of Sindh Continuous Professional Development (CPD) strategic plan by School Education and Literacy Department.

  • Friends-Not-Masters-A Political Autobiography By-President Ayub
    Reproduced by Friends Not Masters A POLITICAL AUTOBIOGRAPHY MOHAMMAD AYUB KHAN PRESIDENT OF PAKISTAN 'People in developing countries seek assistance, but on the basis of mutual respect; they want to have friends not masters.' 1967 Reproduced by SANI H. PANHWAR (2018) DEDICATED TO THOSE WHO HAVE WORKED FOR THE BUILDING OF PAKISTAN AS A PROGRESSIVE AND MODERN STATE AND TO THOSE WHO HAVE DEFENDED IT WITH SUCH DISTINCTION In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Surely Allah changes not the condition of a people, until they change their own condition. PREFACE This is essentially a spoken book. After I had defined the broad scope and outlines of the book I asked some friends to prepare questions on the theme of different chapters. The question-and-answer sessions began in June 1964 and continued till the end of the year. The tape-recordings of these sessions came to nearly thirty hours and the transcript covered more than 900 pages. I got the transcript some time in 1965. Since then I have been going over it and revising it from time to time. It is not customary for a man in office to write his life story. Apart from the limitations imposed by the consciousness of responsibility there is always the danger that any suggestion of success would be interpreted as an attempt at image-building. Let me say, therefore, that the credit for whatever may have been achieved in terms of political stability or economic development should go to those who were associated with me in the implementation of various reforms.

  • Political Stability in Pakistan: Regionalism and Role of Cabinet (1947-1958)
    Political Stability in Pakistan: Regionalism and Role of Cabinet (1947-1958) Naumana Kiran Political instability is one of the major problems of Pakistan. Regionalism is the core reason of this instability, which also affected the institution of Cabinet. First ten years of Pakistan’s life are very important to explore how this problem originated, deep- rooted and damaged political stability of the country. Though Pakistan followed British Parliamentary and Cabinet system but inherent weaknesses and colonial traditions did not let Cabinet system to flourish in Pakistan on strong lines. During this eleven years period, seven Prime Ministers took over one after the other with eight Cabinets, which can be divided into three, types i.e. Single Party Cabinets, National Cabinet (Cabinet of Talent) and Coalition Cabinets. The objective of this paper is to find out how the ministers were appointed and what was the role of Region in their appointment to the Cabinet? What were the inner circles in the Cabinets and which regions of Pakistan mostly represented in it? How many rifts occurred among Cabinet colleagues on the basis of region and what changes were introduced? The whole discussion would be done phase vise i.e. (i) Single Party Cabinets from 1947 to 54 (ii) National Cabinet 1954-55 and (iii) Coalition Cabinets 1955-58. 208 Pakistan Vision Vol. 13 No. 1 Appointment to the Cabinet and Regionalism 1947-1958 Single Party Cabinets (1947-1954) East Pakistanis were always critical towards the fact that they were given less representation in the Cabinet than their due share. From 1947 to 1954, three Cabinets worked with some changes and some consistencies in the portfolios.

    PAKISTAN - Annual Research Journal Vol. No 54, 2018 KHAN ABDUL QAIYUM KHAN: POLITICAL CAREER FROM 1953- 1958 Asma Gul∗ Syed Minhaj-ul-Hassan∗ Abstract Before and after the creation of Pakistan,in the Political history of NWFP (present day Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) very few persons dominated the scene, among those one was Abdul Qaiyum Khan. His political career covered a period of nearly four decades. In this article an attempt is made to focus on his political life from April1953 to October 1958 that is after his resignation as Chief Minister and induction in Central Cabinet in1953, as member of West Pakistan Provincial Assembly and finally as President of Pakistan Muslim League. This was the time of his downfall in his home province and rise in national politics. It also reviews the political insight and strength of Qaiyum Khan’s personality. Moreover Khan Qaiyum, political and constitutional development of Pakistan is also analyzed. Key words Khan Abdul Qaiyum Khan, Muslim League, Legislative Assembly, Constituent Assembly, One Unit, West Pakistan Province. Introduction Khan Abdul Qaiyum became Chief Minister of the province of NWFP (present day Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) after dismissal of Dr. Khan Sahib Ministry on 23 August 1947. He administered the province with iron hand. But towards the end of his rule he developed differences with the Centre.1 After the dismissal of Khawaja Nazimud Din ministry in 1953, when new Cabinet of Mohammed Ali Bogra was sworn, Khan was inducted in the new cabinet as Minister of Food and Industry. Qaiyum Khan, totally unaware of these developments was called to Karachito participate high level meeting.2 On his return journey to Peshawar, he was informed by Major General Azam Khan by the orders of Governor General at Lahore Railway Station that he was no more Chief Minister of the Province.3The unwilling Khan was replaced by Sardar Abdur Rashid Khan, Inspector General of Police of the Province, NWFP.

  • Nawab Mushtaq Ahmad Gurmani's Role in the Politics of Pakistan
    Nawab Mushtaq Ahmad Gurmani’s Role in the Politics of Pakistan Pir Bukhsh Soomro ∗∗∗ Pakistan came into being on 14 August, 1947, as an independent sovereign state comprising Muslim-majority areas of British India. It was based on an Islamic ideology, seeking a separate homeland for the Muslims to order their lives according to their own faith, traditions and values. Its geography, too, was unique in the sense that it comprised two wings, East Bengal and West Pakistan. There was a hostile and unfriendly India located between the two wings. India did its utmost to create problems for the newborn state of Pakistan, ranging from the issues of distribution of financial assets to the accession of Kashmir to Pakistan. Kashmir, indeed, became one of the crucial tests for the new state at the very outset. The Kashmir problem required a strong leader to handle the situation. On 3 January, 1949, 1 Nawab Mushtaq Ahmad Gurmani was appointed by the Government of Pakistan as Minister without portfolio, to deal exclusively with the Kashmir problem. 2 In October 1949, he was also appointed Ambassador-at-Large and was made member of the Pakistan delegation to the Security Council of the United Nations to argue Pakistan’s case for Kashmir. On 7 November, 1949, Gurmani visited Egypt which was an important country in the Muslim World.3 The Egyptian Government had not extended its support to the demand for Pakistan during the Pakistan Movement, and had even expressed reservations about it. Egypt saw the emergence of Pakistan, a big Islamic State, as a serious threat to its ∗ Lecturer in History, Government Post-Graduate College (Boys), Dera Ghazi Khan.
