Reforms in School Education Department Punjab

School Education Punjab is the second biggest department of Pakistan having more than half a million employees teaching around 12 million students in 52,487 government schools of Punjab. Catering such a huge number of employees is a task for sure. Under the supervision of Imran Khan's led PTI government in Punjab, SED has introduced the E-Transfer policy for the teachers working in the government schools of Punjab a few months ago. The historic launch of this online transfer policy has eliminated the corruption factor at large, the nuisance for the teachers who, in the past have to run from place to place to get them transferred from one school to another. But now, with the launch and implementation of E-Transfer policy, teachers can move online applications for their transfers while staying free of hassles.

The successful launch of this policy has also assured that all of the transfers must have to be done keeping the lines of merit in view. No special transfer requests from anyone can be catered after the policy being introduced. Two online transfer phases have already been completed successfully and almost all of the teachers have expressed satisfaction over the system being brought for them. As per the details, from May 2019 onwards, more than two hundred thousand teachers have logged onto the online transfer portal system and thousands of transfers have been done on merit to date.

According to the School Education Department Punjab, fifty to seventy thousand teachers apply for their transfers from one place to another on an annual basis. With the success of the E transfer policy, corruption worth billions has been barred. No government in the past has ever worked to ease the life of teachers in this way. In my very humble opinion, this is how you start to change, a system can never be changed or altered at once, it takes a lot of time but what matters is' are the measures being taken to improve and to excel.

 

Talk of Depression can help

You don't have to be a doctor or a mental health specialist to understand that talking of mental depression can really help. Many of us are a victim of this vulnerable disease unknowingly. Many of us have lost ourselves in the name of being shamed in return for our talk of such a thing but the issue that withstands here is that 'we do not talk'.

Everyone in life at least has one person to talk of whatever he desires being regardless of the fact that the one is going to oversee things drastically. In today's world, where resilience has walked far from the people, tempers have fallen too short, emotions are boneheaded and the ability to think for other's good has demolished, it is obvious that the sufferer may conveniently be forced to believe that keeping his obsessions to him is the only solution available.

One cannot even imagine that while suffering a volatile sickness like depression, what impression 'a talk of your problem' can make to you, your mind, your thoughts, and your whole physical and mental system. Imagine, that just by sharing the storms dismantling within, your self-esteem can boost, your power to contest can trigger, and your willingness to improve can erupt out of nowhere.

Blatantly, people around the world are in immediate need to stop giving a damn over 'what the others will think'. This one single sentence comprising of the total five words has disgustingly caused more destruction in this universe than the world wars may have. It is not of the imagination that how dynamiting this one sentence can be to your whole freaking life. The questions that must arise here are that are we here to justify our actions to other people? Our dreams are to fall beyond our eyes after the approval of this world? Why have we overthrown ourselves to the will and imagination of the judgmental wolves of our societies?

Our woes are our own and only we can fight them to the elimination. To all the despairs out there, initiate expressing your own isolations as this is the only way out to overcome your mopes. Suffering from mental diffusion is your battle, no one else will ever be able to sword it out unless you start to pout. Talk of the depression can help to drive this 'silently killing enigma' out of our societies. It is time that we must address this marring disease.

According to the World Health Organisation, 8,00,000 people around the world die annually because of the self-exclamation of their lives. This number screamingly indicates that 'every 40 seconds' a person is succumbing himself to death majorly because of this illicit plague called 'depression'. The affectees must start preparing themselves to talk, mental despondency is not something to avoid, it is a labile journey that will darken by the time. Start talking today, doesn't matter to whom one may talk or share with, but the

pre-eminence is 'Talk of Depression can Help'.

What if I was Born Poor

It is no one’s fault to be born out of magnificence nor it is a specialty to open your eyes occupying all that one may desires. We all land in this world under different circumstances but the given playing field is the same for all. It is you who is going to decide what you are going to be and what impact you are going to make to this world. If you are born ordinary that does not mean that your ending is going to be worthless too. Yes, it might sound huge for the beginners to tell and make themselves believe that people ruling the success charts today have started one day from somewhere ordinary, with limited means and resources and from there, they have topped the heights of the success world.

To be successful, one must have the ability to plan and aim. A person must be able to decide what worth he holds and which passage can help him sprint towards success. Formidable brains do hold the power to aim, analyze and chase. It is not necessary that your plans are going to engross the entire universe and you are going to conquer whatever you want within the timeline you’ve decided for your own self. It takes time and on several occasions, it takes a lot of time which is even beyond your last line expectations. At so many intervals of life, you may feel exhausted about what you have started or will feel stirred about the passage you have taken but the key to success is that you keep appreciating yourself for the journey you have covered and keep reminding yourself that why you have started. This is how it works and this is how successful people conquer. 

Globally, there are several examples of the people whose initial lives were spent being poor but today, they are renowned all over the world and that is all because of their hard work, ambitions, and determination. Internet tycoon Jack Ma, founder of the technology giant Apple Steve Jobs, Charlie Chaplin, Leonardo DiCaprio, Starbucks founder Howard Schultz, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Walt Disney are just a few of them. They and the others like them have settled their mark of life and then worked endlessly hard to hunt them down. Hard work is a mandatory key to success. There could be no shortcut to long term success. One must have to take the escalators to reach the top. Do not get settle for the lesser if you even hardly believe that you deserve better and more.

Many people opt to change their track because of the no immediate success and on most of the junctures, it is because of the suggestions one is getting for not outreaching the desired results. In this regard, it is opined that always keep yourself open to insinuations until you are deciding your path but once you have taken your decision, do not look back and keep on forcing yourself to walk the path doesn’t matter how difficult and harsh it gets. As a famous quote says “Tougher situations never last but tougher people do”.

Are You a Super Woman?

To all the women out there, have you ever imagined to be called a "Super Woman" for something you have no role or power to play in or have you ever felt ridiculed for something you would never have been able to change? 

In most of the South Asian countries, a woman who gives birth to the gender male possesses the way more pride and value in comparison with the one giving birth to the other. Now, the question that a sane mind must ask is that how a woman can be declared superior for something she didn't do and, at the same time, how the other one being rewarded the lesser respect and dignity as both of them took the same suffering to bring a new living being into this world? No one will ever have the answer to this question that on what grounds this is being done but the dilemma in our patriarchal society goes on even in the 21st century. A lot has evolved with the passage of time in these countries but sparing the school of thought in a few regards. Blaming a woman for giving birth to the non-desired gender is ridiculous and an open example of high-end ignorance. 

Another fact is that women have been considered a soft target in ignorant societies from the start. The pressure on women to give birth to boys has been immense since ages. They are beaten, threaten to be overthrown, being forced to allow their men for another marriage, and also divorced in the name of giving birth to the female gender. Men who believe that women's particulars are responsible for the gender of the child are in immediate need of learning that the chromosomes of a female body have nothing to do with the gender sortition in the whole process. 

Our patricentric society needs to acknowledge and appraise the role of women in everyone's life. It is essential to appreciate the gender that has brought every living being into this world. Over the past few years, the situation for women has slightly improved in terms of their rights, appreciation, and worth but there is still a lot to be done to bring them to equal rights and acknowledgments as men. 

Half Killed

Dependents of the death row prisoners are the real sufferers. Like there are many in the world, quoted here is one tragic story of two innocent girls who were raised to see their 'bread finder' behind the bars over a crime in which these innocents souls were not involved, nor guilty. The question is why they are punished too for a crime their father has committed!! Why such souls are forced into a life no one desires? Have the death penalty givers ever brainstormed that how far the effects of one such order will go? Does the state have no responsibility for the people associated with the one given death sentence? Hanging one man to his death 'due to whatever the reasons' destroy many of the lives associated with him and that has to be a matter of concern for everyone out there. 

Here is a story of just one man and his daughters to give an idea of the issue being raised. A death row prisoner from Pakistan who was penalized to death years back had two little girls. Following the verdict of the court, his execution orders have arrived on several occasions and due to whatever the reasons called off but what's worrying is that every time such orders have arrived, those two innocent souls were supposed to have one last meeting with their very own father. Pump up your brain for a while and think about the pain and intensity of any such meeting in which the helpless daughters know that this is going to be the end of their meetings with their father. One can only imagine the pain and trauma of being in such a condition and more importantly, what impact it would have given on the mind of these girls for the rest of their lives. And this traumatic situation is not only restricted to this man and his daughters but to the many in this world. 

The first World Day against the Death Penalty was organized in 2002 but following the past several years into it, nothing during this period of time has changed in the justice system of Pakistan. Orders commanding 'Hang till Death' are still being passed and implemented irrespective of the fact that how it is going to destroy and affect the lives of people associated with the one being executed. There has to be a way out, there has to be a remedy, there has to be thought of people associated with the one who is executed in the name of the law. Law offenders must be punished, there is no second stance in this regard but what should be the way? Execution? And if it is, not only the person specifically being banished but the hopes, mental peace and ways of life are also tarnished for the people associated with him. 

Killing one can leave many 'half-killed'. Taking one life can take many.
