According to it, starting from this school year a student will be prevented from taking the first assessment test for all subjects if he or she is absent from the school for seven (school) days in a row without any accept- able reason. Similarly, if he or she is absent for 10 days consecutively (without any acceptable rea- son), the student will be barred from taking the second assessment test for all subjects. If the absence exceeds 13 days uninter- ruptedly and without any justifiable reason, the student will not be allowed to take the third assessment test (for all subjects).

    CSSForum.com.pk Content Copyright © jWorldTimes.com Jahangir World Times Published: January, 2013 Pakistan-Russia Cooperation Amidst Antagonism? Or just a geo-political shift … Despite being geographically contiguous, Pakistan and Russia have remained politically distant from each other during the last six decades. The framework of Cold War and the East-West confrontation defined relations between the two countries during that very period. GAZA Tuesday, January 01, 2013 This assessment of relations between Pakistan and Russia looks at the influence of South Asia and Central Asia's bilateral relations in a highly-charged and greatly-changed region on the pointed end of the futuristic post-2014 Afghanistan. Relationships between Pakistan and Russia will have important implications for the region's overall strategic picture in the years ahead. Two common elements emerge through a novel of bilateral relations between highly diverse nations seeking to escape the labyrinth. One common element is low politics in shape of economic interaction driven by global economic crisis powered by regionalism. The other is the high politics to deal with terrorism in the post-2014 (the withdrawal of the US forces from Afghanistan) approach. The regional bilateral relations sow the seeds of a multilateral approach based on the reciprocal benefits on equality basis. The question is whether cooperation bodes well for acceptance of the US politico-military leadership? Will such bilateral cooperation hurt the US interests in the region or the strategic diplomacy will be followed to balance the West with the East? In short, the central concerns of these analyses is how the Pakistan-Russia regional relationship affects, and are affected by, outside actors as well as themselves.

We owe our achievements for the past 500 years to biodiversity. Tropical regions where light and water are available in plenty are the abodes of biodiversity.
