PHILOSOPHICAL SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS
In Plato’s Republics and in his other writings we see a development of idealism. According to him, every object of our experience is nothing but shadow. That is saying that it is not in a pure state of reality. Whatever we perceive is merely a poor copy of the reality that exists in another world which he designates as the world of Forms or Ideas. Thus Plato’s Idealism talks of two worlds: the world of shadows and the world of Ideas. The latter is replete with absolute perfection, real, unchangeable, universal and eternal realities whereas the former is the world of imperfect copies of things residing in the real world of ideas. The implication is that every material thing must have its true copy in the world of ideas. Idealist would say that even the pen you are having now is only an imperfect copy or a shadow of the ideal pen in the world Ideas. Though there may ne various strands of idealism, the basic tenet is the emphasis that existence is explained in terms of the mind and its function.
Other Views on Idealism
Since Plato, there have been many understanding of idealism. Descartes is one such Idealist. He holds that the most important element in the nature of knowledge is mind or spirit. This idea is beautifully expressed in his popular philosophical dictum. Corgito ergo sum (I think, therefore I exist). This idealistic statement has so much implication for Descartes who doubted the reality of anything having material nature and would only accept as reality the thought that he is thinking. Bishop George Berkeley also advanced the school of idealism in modern times by his easiest percipi (to be is to be perceived) . What is real is that which can be perceived, what cannot be perceived is unreal.
To put it more correctly again, the central thesis of idealism is that true knowledge can be derived from reason alone since it is only the faculty of reason that can grasp or extract from material things their spiritual forms or essences. The faculty of the senses provides the mind with imperfect, unstable and changing knowledge of physical objects.
Educational Implication of Idealism
1. For Plato, Education simply means stimulation of the mind to recall that which it already knows before its being in the world. He taught that the soul I born with innate knowledge which it lost with contact with the material world (human body). Thus the concept of school and education is to create an enabling environment where students are encouraged to recall and embrace the concept of the Good and the universal truth that already exist in their soul which has been forgotten. An idealistic educational system would concern itself with ideas of things. The goal of education should be connected with the lifetime work of searching for true ideas. It should be to cultivate the human mind.
2. Idealism prefers the world of the spiritual to the world of material things. Thus, in education, e

Human resources need to be managed properly so that they can play a role in accordance with their functions. That is why there is a need for human resource management. Human resource management is a process related to the implementation of human resource management or management functions which are directly handed over to the school education unit to be developed in accordance with the potential possessed by the school. The scope of human resource management includes: employee planning; employee procurement; employee coaching and development; promotion and mutation; dismissal of employees; compensation, and employee assessment. All of that needs to be done properly and correctly so that what is expected can be achieved
Policy implementation has presented the Nigerian educational system with countless obstacles cum problems. This research explored the principles and problems of policy implementation reconsiderations for effective secondary school administration. The study adopted a descriptive research design. The study population was 286 principals. The study sample was 229 principals drawn through a simple random sampling, representing 80% of the population. An instrument, principles and problems of policy implementation for effective secondary school administration was utilized for data collection. Cronbach alpha established a reliability coefficient of 0.89. Mean and standard deviation were used for data collection, while a t-test was utilized to test the hypotheses at a 0.05 significance level. The researchers found that the principles of policy implementation for effective secondary school administration are founded on ensuring a positive and clear policy statement, flexibility in the policy statement, fact-based policy statement, effectiveness in policy statement communication, openness to review, and properly documented in writing. It was recommended that school principals provide copies of the school policy to all the teachers. The principals should not be subjective in implementing policy for effective school administration. The implication of the study is that principals should adopt effective principles for policy implementation.

Topic : Effect of students attitude towards biology on their academic performance
Abstract: The main aim of this study was to investigate students’ attitude towards learning biology and its effect on their academic performance in the subject of biology. Quantitative research approach was used for the study. The population of study consisted of all government girls secondary school students (4299) of class 9th and 10th in district Kohat in the academic session 2022-23. The sample of the study consisted of 353 girls students of class 9th and 10th. The researcher collected data through a questionnaire. The researcher collected data from sampled students personally. For data analysis both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. Frequencies, percentage, mean score, standard deviation and Pearson co-efficient correlation was used to analyze the data. The results of the study showed that female students had positive attitude towards learning biology. A positive weak non-significant relationship was found between attitude towards learning biology and students’ academic performance.
Keywords: students ‘attitude, students ‘biology performance.
1.Introduction:
It is acknowledged that biology, which is a concept, a way of life, and even a worldwide language, is a field essential to today's rapidly evolving world for people, society, scientific inquiry, and technological growth. Today, biologyal techniques are used in practically every sphere of human effort and are crucial to a nation's economic growth. We require excellent biology performance at all academic levels in our pursuit of scientific and technical growth.
The goal of biology education in schools is to enable students to develop problem-solving abilities, reasoning, generalization, and communication abilities, as well as some other biologyal abilities, such as sensory and psychomotor abilities, and to use these abilities to solve problems that occur in everyday life. ( Olkun & Tolukuker, 2007; Guref & Kahn, 2013).
The students' attitude toward biology subject is the most significant aspect that affects students success level of biology. It has been well acknowledged that students' attitudes toward biology and their degrees of biologyal success are strongly correlated. It has been revealed in the studies done so far that students with more favorable attitudes toward biology also achieve better success. (Peker & Mirasyedioğlu, 2003; Çanakçı & Özdemir, 2011).
The most common explanation of gender inequality in biologyal success is focused Students' attitudes to biology. Several studies results showed that gender differences matter in students’ attitude towards biology, girls’ show more negative attitude than boy. In general, most studies showed that girls lacked confidence compared to boys, with weak causes the attribution pattern; biology understood the male domain and was nervous about biology (Vermeer 2000). Other study result shows gender difference doesn’
Education and comparative education as concepts can be given
different interpretation. The reason is that different people from
different angles will see them from different perspectives. In other
words, there can be as many definitions to the concepts of Education
and Comparative Education.
2.0 Objective
At the end of this unit, students should be able to provide an
acceptable definition to Education.
3.0 The Content
3.1.1 Education
Education is very difficult to pin to a particular definition, because
the concept may be perceived from different angles. The concept has
been traced to two Latin words. The Latin words are (a) educere and (b)
educare. While educere can be interpreted as "to draw out" or "to lead out",
Educare on the other hand means "to nourish" "to bring up or "to raise".
The interpretations of two Latin words no doubt, are more than what
can be offered by the school alone.
Adesina (1985) noted that education is always related to variable
such as purpose of the learner, the aim of the teacher as well as the
technological problems of the society. He, therefore, defines education
as:
The tool for the integration of the individual
effectively into a society so that the individual
can achieve self-realization, develop national
consciousness,promote unity and strive for
social, economic, political, scientific cultural and
technological process.
While relating education to culture, Nduka (1982) sees the concept
as the process of cultural transmission of the people at least part of such
8
culture from one generation to the next.
Education, according to Lester Smith cited by Osokoya (1987), is
the culture which each generation purposely gives to those who are to
be its successors in order to qualify them for at least keeping, and if
possible for raising the level of improvement which has been attained.
Horton, cited by Akinpelu (1984) sees education as an enabling
agency by which the Africans could restore their self confidence, and
make those who doubted the humanity of Africans begin to revise their
views and learn to respect Africans.
Education according to Nyerere (1982) is the transmission of
accumulated wisdom and knowledge of the society from one generation
to the next and also to prepare the young people for their future
membership of the society in which they find themselves.
At this juncture, we can define education as a process through
which an individual becomes integrated into his society, becomes a
promoter of his societal culture, contributor to the development of his
society and becomes an adult who will be able to stand on his own.
3.1.2 The Meaning of Comparative Education
Naturally, human beings are in the habit of making comparison of
the things that are around them particularly when such things exist in
different places. This may be done as a result of man's desire to know
the relationship existing between, or among the things being compared.
Man may also involve himself in this kind of a business when he wants

Administrative Evaluation – Purpose and Procedures
Section 1249 of the Revised School Code requires that administrators be evaluated at least annually
through a performance evaluation system that complies with statutory requirement. MCL 380.1249.
The Purposes of Evaluation
Performance evaluation is a formal communication tool for interaction between supervisors and employees that should lead to improved job performance, personal continuous growth, foster a change, and lead to improved student achievement. It should reward effective job performance and provide intervention where necessary. It should:
• Evaluate the administrator’s job performance at least annually while providing timely and constructive feedback
• Establish clear approaches to measuring student growth and provide administrators with relevant data on student growth
• Evaluate Administrator’s performance, using multiple rating categories that take into account data on student growth as a significant factor. For these purposes, student growth shall be measure by national, state, or local assessment and other objective criteria
• Use the evaluations, at a minimum, to inform decisions regarding all of the following:
o The effectiveness of school administrators, ensuring that they are given ample opportunities for improvement.
o Promote development of administrators, including providing relevant coaching, instruction support, or professional development
o Removing ineffective administrators after they have had ample opportunities to improve, and ensuring that these decisions are made using rigorous standards and streamlined, transparent, and fair procedures.
• Promote and stimulate self-¬‐reflection and growth.
• Increase overall school improvement and student growth through improved teaching.
• Ensure that evaluation and goals are connected with school improvement, professional development, and personal goals.
• Establish and maintain a record of professional performance.
• Improve deficiencies in performance when identified.
• Be rigorous transparent, and fair.
• Provide timely and constructive feedback.
Types of Student Data
Section 1249 requires the performance evaluation system to measure student growth by national, state, or local assessments and other objective criteria. . Student growth must be measured, at least in part, using the state assessments, and for grades and subjects in which state assessments are not required and administered for purposes of 20 USC 6311, student growth must be measured, at least in part, using alternative assessments that are rigorous and comparable across schools within the school district. Acceptable growth models may include: pre/post assessments, NWEA, Aimsweb, Delta Math, PSI, PASI, FryeWords, DRA, MLPP, DIBELS NEXT, Common Assessments, PSAT, SAT, etc.. Special Education growth models may include IEP goals, Behavior Data, MI-¬‐Access, Brigance Inventory, Woodcock Johnson, and Achievement Tests.
Administrators will be evaluated on the rubric and

Definition
The study of the past of higher education.
Introduction
The engagement with history is an important feature of research in higher education, which has taken various forms and has been driven by various rationales (Lowe 2009). The variety of objectives, methodologies and interpretations is precisely what made the contribution of the historical dimension to the understanding of higher education so valuable although it has not come without its challenges.
Past present and future
Many factors explain why universities alongside other forms of higher education have always been the objects of a strong historical attention. To start with, Hammerstein reminds us that “European universities are the oldest surviving European institutions with the exception of the catholic Church” (1996, p.113).
Past and present
Although the historical perspective often confirms its strong potential to enrich the understanding of higher education, it does not escape from the key debates about the various conceptions of the role of history and its potential uses and misuses. Such debates question whether the use of history to inform the present is desirable or even feasible. The risk of presentism has been debated within most historical fields and the history of higher education is no exception (Hutcheson, 2010). Such controversies had the merits to sound a note of caution for those seeking to conduct or read historical research in higher education. First of all, they remind us of the intrinsic value of historical research in higher education and that “it was perfectly possible for historical explanations to be pursued for its own sake without reference to the claims of social relevance” (Tosh, p. 47). They also incite those seeking to link past and present to be mindful of the danger of a presentist view of history and its consequences in terms of misinterpretations or anachronisms. Those are problematic issues not only in relation to the validity of historical findings but also in relation to the ways findings “travel”, and can sometimes be decontextualized as part of an instrumental and selective use of history by media and policy circles. Acknowledging those limitations does not weaken but strengthens a reasoned approach of history seeking to inform the present. This effort of contextualisation is an integral part of a necessary productive engagement of historians with public policy (Szreter, 2011, p. 222).
2
Periodisations
The difficulty to make sense of such a long history is reflected by the variety of offered historical periodisations of higher education, which mirror the differences in the lens and the thematic chosen. The starting point of such periodization has also always been a recurrent issue. Many researchers like Perkin identified the ri
Introduction
The National Education Policy (NEP) 2009 is the latest in a series of education policies dating back to the very inception of the country in 1947. The review process for the National Education Policy 1998-2010 was initiated in 2005 and the first public document, the White Paper, was finalized in March 2007. The White Paper, as designed, became the basis for development of the Policy document. Though four years have elapsed between beginning and finalization of the exercise, the lag is due to a number of factors including the process of consultations adopted and significant political changes that took place in the country.
Two main reasons prompted the Ministry of Education (MOE) to launch the review in 2005 well before the time horizon of the existing Policy (1998 - 2010)1 : firstly, the Policy did not produce the desired educational results and performance remained deficient in several key aspects including access, quality and equity of educational opportunities and, secondly, Pakistan’s new international commitments to Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Dakar Framework of Action for Also the challenges triggered by globalization and nation’s quest for becoming a knowledge society in the wake of compelling domestic pressures like devolution and demographic transformations have necessitated a renewed commitment to proliferate quality education for all.
Specific Objectives of the Policy
The policy stated a clear vision as:
“Our education system must provide quality education to our children and youth to enable them to realize their individual potential and contribute to development of society and nation, creating a sense of Pakistani nationhood, the concepts of tolerance, social justice, democracy, their regional and local culture and history based on the basic ideology enunciated in the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.”
The major objectives of the policy arc as under:
• To revitalize the existing education system with a view to cater to social, political and spiritual needs of individuals and society.
• To play a fundamental role in the preservation of the ideals, which led to the creation of Pakistan and strengthen the concept of the basic ideology within the Islamic ethos enshrined in the 1973 Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
• To create a sense of unity and nationhood and promote the desire to create a welfare State for the people of Pakistan
• To promote national cohesion by respecting all faiths and religions and recognize cultural and ethnic diversity.
• To promote social and cultural harmony through the conscious use of the educational process.
• To provide and ensure equal educational opportunities to all citizens of Pakistan and to provide minorities with adequate facilities for their cultural and religious development, enabling them to participate effectively in the overall national effort.
• To develop a self reliant individual, capable of analytical and original think
The term resource mobilization refers to all activities undertaken by an organization to secure new and additional financial, human and material resources to advance its mission. Inherent in efforts to mobilize resources is the drive for organizational sustainability.
Resource mobilization refers to all activities involved in securing new and additional resources for your organization. It also involves making better use of, and maximizing, existing resources. Resource mobilization is often referred to as ‘New Business Development’. The figure below shows how New Business Opportunities – which are intended to mobilize resources – form part of an organization’s overall functioning.
Why is resource mobilization so important?
Resource mobilization is critical to any organization for the following reasons:
1. Ensures the continuation of your organization’s service provision to clients
2. Supports organizational sustainability
3. Allows for improvement and scale-up of products and services the organization currently provides
4. Organizations, both in the public and private sector, must be in the business of generating new business to stay in business
What is meant by sustainability?
Although sustainability is often identified with having sufficient funds to cover an organization’s activities, it is actually a broader concept. There are three fundamental streams of sustainability: institutional, financial and programmatic. Each is vital to the survival of an organization. Below are the definitions of these three areas of sustainability:
Programmatic sustainability. The organization delivers products and services that respond to clients’ needs and anticipates new areas of need. Its success enables expansion of its client base.
Institutional sustainability. The organization has a strong, yet flexible structure and accountable, transparent governance practices. Its structure and good governance allows it to respond to the shifting priorities of its supporters and to new responsibilities toward its clients, while creating a positive work climate for its staff.
Financial sustainability. The organization draws on various sources of revenue, allowing it to support its ongoing efforts and to undertake new initiatives.
Figure 2 below shows how all of these streams of sustainability are exercised in an organization. The strategic plan is the anchor, in which an organization’s programs, structure and systems, as well as financials are reviewed and new business opportunities are identified. These new directions or new business opportunities are then pursued using a distinct resource mobilization strategy, such as writing proposals, submitting grant applications, or drafting business cases or business plans. All of these instruments are designed to showcase an organization’s programs, institutional structure, and financial health.

In order to counter the proposals made in the Nehru Report, Jinnah presented his proposal in the form of Fourteen Points, insisting that no scheme for the future constitution of the government of India will be satisfactory to the Muslims until and unless stipulations were made to safe guard their interests. The following points were presented by the Quaid to defend the rights of the Muslims of the sub-continent:
1. The form of the future constitution should be federal, with the residuary powers to be vested in the provinces.
2. A uniform measure of autonomy shall be granted to all provinces.
3. All legislatures in the country and other elected bodies shall be constituted on the definite principle of adequate and effective representation of minorities in every province without reducing the majority in any province to a minority or even equality.
4. In the Central Legislature, Muslim representation shall not be less than one third.
5. Representation of communal groups shall continue to be by separate electorates: provided that it shall be open to any community, at any time, to abandon its separate electorate in favor of joint electorate.
6. Any territorial redistribution that might at any time be necessary shall not in anyway affect the Muslim majority in the Punjab, Bengal and the NWFP.
7. Full religious liberty i.e. liberty of belief, worship, and observance, propaganda, association, and education, shall be guaranteed to all communities.
8. No bill or resolution or any part thereof shall be passed in any legislature or any other elected body if three fourths of the members of any community in that particular body oppose such a bill, resolution or part thereof on the ground that it would be injurious to that community or in the alternative, such other method is devised as may be found feasible practicable to deal with such cases.
9. Sind should be separated from the Bombay Presidency.
10. Reforms should be introduced in the NWFP and Balochistan on the same footing as in other provinces.
11. Provision should be made in the Constitution giving Muslims an adequate share along with the other Indians in all the services of the State and in local self-governing bodies, having due regard to the requirements of efficiency.
12. The Constitution should embody adequate safeguards for the protection of Muslim culture and for the protection and promotion of Muslim education, language, religion and personal laws and Muslim charitable institutions and for their due share in the grants-in-aid given by the State and by local self-governing bodies.
13. No cabinet, either Central or Provincial, should be formed without there being a proportion of at least one-third Muslim ministers.
14. No change shall be made in the Constitution by the Central Legislature except with the concurrence of the States constituting the Indian Federation.
Muslim League made it clear that no constitutional solution will be acceptable to them unless and until it en cooperates the fourt

Historical Perspective, Research in Higher Education

Definition
The study of the past of higher education.
Introduction
The engagement with history is an important feature of research in higher education, which has taken various forms and has been driven by various rationales (Lowe 2009). The variety of objectives, methodologies and interpretations is precisely what made the contribution of the historical dimension to the understanding of higher education so valuable although it has not come without its challenges.
Past present and future
Many factors explain why universities alongside other forms of higher education have always been the objects of a strong historical attention. To start with, Hammerstein reminds us that “European universities are the oldest surviving European institutions with the exception of the catholic Church” (1996, p.113).
Past and present
Although the historical perspective often confirms its strong potential to enrich the understanding of higher education, it does not escape from the key debates about the various conceptions of the role of history and its potential uses and misuses. Such debates question whether the use of history to inform the present is desirable or even feasible. The risk of presentism has been debated within most historical fields and the history of higher education is no exception (Hutcheson, 2010). Such controversies had the merits to sound a note of caution for those seeking to conduct or read historical research in higher education. First of all, they remind us of the intrinsic value of historical research in higher education and that “it was perfectly possible for historical explanations to be pursued for its own sake without reference to the claims of social relevance” (Tosh, p. 47). They also incite those seeking to link past and present to be mindful of the danger of a presentist view of history and its consequences in terms of misinterpretations or anachronisms. Those are problematic issues not only in relation to the validity of historical findings but also in relation to the ways findings “travel”, and can sometimes be decontextualized as part of an instrumental and selective use of history by media and policy circles. Acknowledging those limitations does not weaken but strengthens a reasoned approach of history seeking to inform the present. This effort of contextualisation is an integral part of a necessary productive engagement of historians with public policy (Szreter, 2011, p. 222).

Periodisations
The difficulty to make sense of such a long history is reflected by the variety of offered historical periodisations of higher education, which mirror the differences in the lens and the thematic chosen. The starting point of such periodization has also always been a recurrent issue. Many researchers like Perkin identified the ri

Abstract
This paper reports on aspects of the Norwich Area Schools Consortium (NASC) cross-school
Classroom Management and Disaffection research project undertaken as part of the NASC
programme. It documents the dual interwoven ‘stories’ of teacher engagement in research as a
learning experience and the substantive research undertaken. The project took place in two
stages, the focus of the second stage emerging out of the analysis of the first stage. Research
into both pupil and teacher perceptions concerning disaffection and classroom management
were investigated in the first stage. The second stage attempted to unravel the complex
relationships between disaffection, curriculum, pedagogy and context from pupil perspectives,
with insights on the relationship between a good lesson and a good teacher being of particular
interest.
Introduction
This project had its roots in the NASC Workshop held at the University in the summer of 1999.
The aim of the Workshop was to produce research designs and action plans for the four crossschool
research projects which were to become the second phase of the three-year NASC
programme on pupil disaffection. The starting point for this particular project was to research
‘effective in-school strategies to deal with disaffection and reduce exclusion'.
As a result of this event, the Classroom Management and Disaffection Research Group came into
being. The eight members of the group comprised six teachers from five NASC schools and two
members of the University staff (a UEA research co-ordinator and mentor). The group met at
the University on a regular basis to work on the planning and conduct of the research. The
research was carried in two stages, the focus of the second stage emerging out of the analysis of
the first stage. This paper describes the work of this group during these stages, and reports on
some of the research undertaken.
Stage One
Stage One of this project, which took place in the autumn term of 1999, began with an interest in
the following questions, which arose from a consensus amongst the group that there were
generally differences in the extent to which pupils were engaged in learning not only between
schools, but within schools.
• What factors enable some teachers to develop greater effectiveness in terms of class
management and the engagement of pupils in learning than others?
• Is it possible to draw on the experience of teachers and pupils to elucidate which are the
characteristic and most influential skills and attributes that make teachers good classroom
managers?
2
• In addition to teacher characteristics, is it possible to discern departmental, subject, or school
‘effects’ which influence pupil engagement in learning?
The group began by reviewing and reflecting on what had already been learned about classroom
management and disaffection from NASC
Quality education is crucial in the socio-economic development of a country. Different measurements are being taken to boost the standard of academic programs at higher education level. Quality assurance agencies have been established worldwide for this purpose. At the institution level, Quality enhancement cells (QEC) have been functional, Quality assurance agency (QAA) conducts external quality assurance practices at the institutional level like Institutional performance evaluation (IPE) while QEC ensures program level quality. Besides, there are accreditation councils to ensure program quality.
The QEC also takes action to improve academic quality in HEIs through the use of a quality evaluation tool for academic programs called the Self-Assessment Report. The Self-Assessment Report (SAR) is the outcome of this process. The core of the entire system of quality assurance is self-assessment reports. The major goals of a self-assessment report are to improve academic programs and make sure of high academic standards by giving faculty and administrative input to make an improvement action plan.
The self-assessment approach was introduced in Pakistan by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) of HEC, who also recommended a self-assessment model based on eight criteria. QECs' main goal was to carry out a program evaluation. This was accomplished using a self-assessment approach. At the end of each academic year, each institute prepares a self-assessment Report based on the standards set by the QAA and for this purpose, QEC makes a program Team (PT). The PT members in each department write a Self-Assessment Report (SAR) and submit it to the QEC, who sends it for an external audit, after receiving the necessary training and materials. The Implementation Plan is created in response to the audit report and submitted to higher-ups at the institution and the QAA together with the executive summary of the SAR. So, a correct set method is used to carry out the program assessment.
Program self-assessment yields several benefits such as a better and increased understanding of the effectiveness of learning resources used to carry out educational activities, identification of the strengths of the program as well as the areas for improvement (Andrade & Valtcheva, 2009). This involves an objective judgment to identify strengths and weaknesses and bring improvements to them. (Paris & Ayres, 1994; Wiggins, 1998). Oakland (1999) maintains in
his study that self-assessment helps in finding out areas for improvement. It aims to formulate a sustainable evaluation mechanism to check both academic processes as well as outcomes of any academic service or program to strengthen the quality and the performance of the organization (Stahl, 1998). Roseanna and Mandia (2011) assert that Self-Assessment can work as an important 'lens' through which one can see how to enhance learning to improve the program (Bourke & Mentis, 2011). SAR is conducted worldwide, and different studies

Although Pakistan Studies is a compulsory subject from Class IX up to the university level, it is an astonishing fact that many of the students are unaware of important historical figures and events.
Even if they know some, it's just the names of some of the famous personalities and not the details about their achievements, life and causes of success or downfall.

Methods of Teaching of Pak Studies
Every teacher is different in terms of their ways, styles, and methods in teaching. The best teaching methods are those designed considering the interests of students and the subjects taught. Methods in teaching can be teacher-centered, learner-centered, content-focused, and interactive or participative. Each teaching technique has its pros and pitfalls. To make the whole process effective, teachers usually combine two or more of these teaching methods. Here, let us have a look at some of the most widely accepted and followed methods in teaching throughout the nation.
1. Lecture This is the most commonly followed methods in teaching in various educational institutions throughout the country. It is considered as the most ideal method for a teacher to address large classrooms. Lecture refers to an oral presentation of lessons to a group of students. 2. Class discussion This is one of the best interactive methods in teaching in which both teachers and students in the classroom exchange ideas on the topic of discussion. When used effectively, this strategy can help students to develop their thinking, learning, understanding and problem-solving skills. A good teacher can create a positive class environment where students can freely discuss their ideas.
3. Oral Questions One of the most commonly used methods in teaching. In this, instead of just a passive way of lecturing, teachers can encourage the students to ask questions in return. This in fact helps teachers to understand the areas that the students find it difficult to comprehend and to explain things better. This helps the classes to be more engaging and interesting.
4. Repeating points Instead of just giving an oral presentation of the lesson once, the teacher repeats the important points once they cover a subject unit before passing on to the next. This helps the students to recollect what was taught in the previous unit before going to the next. Repeating points would register the content easily on students’ minds. Some teachers also ask the students to repeat the points he/she just covered.
5. Buzz groups In these methods in teaching, teachers split the whole class into small groups and give them a topic of discussion so that the students can come up with ideas on the subject or solutions to a problem within a short period of time. This method helps to stimulate discussion and to get student feedback
. 6. Demonstration Instead of just giving an oral explanation of a subject, in these methods in teaching. the teacher produces enough materials or proofs to make things clear. For example, if a teacher wants to explain the functioning of a handy device, he/she can bring it to the classroom to explain it better and easily. In another context, it can be a demo of a step-by-step process that helps students to easily connect it to theory.
7. Presentation In this method, the teacher gives a power point presentation in the classroom. The slides include diagrams
National Education Policy 2009
Introduction
The National Education Policy (NEP) 2009 is the latest in a series of education policies dating back to the very inception of the country in 1947. The review process for the National Education Policy 1998-2010 was initiated in 2005 and the first public document, the White Paper, was finalized in March 2007. The White Paper, as designed, became the basis for development of the Policy document. Though four years have elapsed between beginning and finalization of the exercise, the lag is due to a number of factors including the process of consultations adopted and significant political changes that took place in the country.

Religious Education
The significance and value of learning and education is an evident fact in all cultures and religions. In Holy Bible and Holy Quran knowledge and learning is encouraged repeatedly as the major value in human life. But learning and education in religion is based on some particular kind of human understanding. It seems that he current situation in which learning and education is rendering ignore many religious perceptions. The aim of this paper is to deal with the religious part of learning and education and it is considered as the undeniable and necessary part of knowledge and learning. The writer attempts to display how Biblical and Islamic teachings lie down the very basic foundation of learning and education. The main idea both in Islam and Christianity as the basis of learning and education comes in term of spiritual understanding of humanity which is weakened and somehow ignored in current situation.
1. Introduction
Where dose learning processes go? What destination has education? Is education and learning process value free? There are many such questions that could not be ignored without coasts. We always think that by learning and education we could make desired favorable changes in young generation and thus we would shape our society and cultures. Knowledge and learning is itself a value. But careful contemplation reveals that there are values that knowledge itself has to follow them. Knowledge is considered as weapon without proper guidance may lead to disaster. It is a light when handed over to a thief, help in robbery. It is essential that we value education and realize that it can open doors for our young people. Education and its role in aiding young people to become good citizens are at the centre of public debate in many countries. Our young people are losing their way and falling victim to drugs, violence, prison, unemployment, and poor education. The feeling of loneliness depression must be added to g and working together for a brighter future for our young people. The absence of holistic view in education is evident and any serious attempt to overcome such problem as mentioned above has to pay effective attention to religion. Educational values and purpose could not be achieved if the knowledge of the essence of human purpose on earth is excluded or sidelined from education curriculum.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
