I am informed that this national vision is based upon extensive consultations and discussions with hundreds of experts and visionaries spread over 18 months, drawn from across the country and that eminent persons belonging to all schools of thought have contributed to the formulation of this document. We are grateful to them for reflecting the hope, aspirations and determination of our people to shape their collective destiny. It is for this reason that the consensus arrived at in the Vision 2030 document is of enduring significance in the process of nation building. I see Vision 2030 as an important milestone in our journey as an independent nation which began sixty years ago under the leadership of the Quaid-i-Azam. A journey which has seen ups and downs, but is inspired by our intrinsic strength, rich culture, and traditions. I am pleased with the quality of Vision 2030 contents, and by its futuristic thought process, while remaining focused on the imperatives of nation -building. It looks into the future with feet firmly planted in reality, armed with wisdom and lessons garnered from the past. Vision 2030 examines the sustained efforts made by the Government to attain macroeconomic stability and implement wide-ranging reforms which are impacting every aspect of our state, society and economy. It rightly focuses on the right of the people to the benefits of growth and development, and ensuring the end of poverty as the foremost national priority. This is why we are developing our less developed regions, including Balochistan, FATA, and Northern Areas with massive investments in infrastructure, and social services. Pakistan cannot prosper as a nation if any of its entities, peoples or regions get left behind in the march to prosperity. Vision 2030 presents a clear picture of important emerging and expected challenges that the nation will have to confront. These pertain to water, energy, infrastructure, climate change, world trade and markets. I am confident that we have the capability to turn all these cha llenges into opportunities with commitment, resourcefulness and sense of responsibility. I fully endorse the stress on knowledge and inventiveness as key drivers of future progress. Science and technology are central to the creation of core competencies that can provide needed skills and enhance productivity to transform agriculture, industry and services sectors over the coming years.

  • Teacher Education Policies and Programs in Pakistan
    TEACHER EDUCATION POLICIES AND PROGRAMS IN PAKISTAN: THE GROWTH OF MARKET APPROACHES AND THEIR IMPACT ON THE IMPLEMENTATION AND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TRADITIONAL TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAMS By Fida Hussain Chang A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Curriculum, Instruction, and Teacher Education - Doctor of Philosophy 2014 ABSTRACT TEACHER EDUCATION POLICIES AND PROGRAMS IN PAKISTAN: THE GROWTH OF MARKET APPROACHES AND THEIR IMPACT ON THE IMPLEMENTATION AND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TRADITIONAL TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAMS By Fida Hussain Chang Two significant effects of globalization around the world are the decentralization and liberalization of systems, including education services. In 2000, the Pakistani Government brought major higher education liberalization and expansion reforms by encouraging market approaches based on self-financed programs. These approaches have been particularly important in the area of teacher education and development. The Pakistani Government data reports (AEPAM Islamabad) on education show vast growth in market-model off-campus (open and distance) post-baccalaureate teacher education programs in the last fifteen years. Many academics and scholars have criticized traditional off-campus programs for their low quality; new policy reforms in 2009, with the support of USAID, initiated the four-year honors program, with the intention of phasing out all traditional programs by 2018. However, the new policy still allows traditional off-campus market-model programs to be offered. This important policy reform juncture warrants empirical research on the effectiveness of traditional programs to inform current and future policies. Thus, this study focused on assessing the worth of traditional and off-campus programs, and the effects of market approaches, on the implementation of traditional post-baccalaureate teacher education programs offered by public institutions in a southern province of Pakistan.

With each factor being the cause and outcome of the other, a destructive cycle exists. • Low levels of knowledge about SRH are a major barrier to people accessing SRH services, and information available to the Pakistani population including men remains limited, with women and young people being particularly marginalized in terms of access to information and services.** Source: *Demographics of Pakistan 2007; ** Population Reference Bureau, 2006.

  • Pugwash Workshop on Avoiding an India-Pakistan Nuclear
    Pugwash Workshop on Avoiding an India-Pakistan Nuclear Confrontation Lahore, Pakistan, 11-12 March 2003 Workshop Report by Samina Ahmed The workshop's primary objective was to assess the threat of an India-Pakistan nuclear confrontation and to identify ways of preventing such a conflict. The workshop's deliberations and discussions reflected a range of mainly Pakistani perceptions on the potential of an India-Pakistan conventional conflict and possible nuclear escalation. India and Pakistan's nuclear doctrines and directions were analyzed with the objective of identifying ways of minimizing nuclear risks. Finally, the workshop examined options of resuming a dialogue between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. The workshop was attended by 32 participants from five countries. Pugwash expresses its thanks to the Pakistan Pugwash Group for hosting the meeting, and to Ambassador Aziz Ahmad Khan of the Foreign Ministry of Pakistan for facilitating many of the logistics of the meeting Alexander Nikitin (Russia), Robert McNamara (US) and Abdul Sattar (Pakistan). Avoiding a Pakistan-India nuclear confrontation From December 2001 until July 2002, Indian and Pakistani forces confronted each other across the international border and along the Line of Control. Concerned about the potential for a conventional conflict that could escalate to the nuclear level, the United States played a pro-active role in walking both states back from the brink of war. Although the withdrawal of troops from offensive positions has reduced the prospects of imminent conflict, India and Pakistan's cold war continues unabated. India refuses to resume a dialogue with Pakistan until it takes decisive steps to end all "cross border infiltration" into Indian Kashmir.
