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.

 

Live beyond Life

We all may have heard on so many occasions that the real purpose of life is served only when you live for others. The renowned genius of the world Albert Einstien once said that "Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile". The message is clear, loud and steady that always be willing to stand for others like you expect the world to stand for you when you are having trouble. Helping others will always help you to live a peaceful and satisfactory life. The question that arises here is that what could be the possible passage to help others out. What could be an act of kindness and generosity that lives beyond your life as well?

Have you ever imagined there is one way every single person in this entire universe can help; It doesn't matter how helpless is he. One must be forced to think that how a feeble can be of use to anyone! Now take some time out and think, of what use are our organs to us once we are out of breathing? For the very obvious reasons, the answer is that they are of no use. Have we ever thought that donating our body organs afterward can help us to live beyond life? Burying the useful organs along with the deceased is of no use and benefit. Yes, there is an emotional dilemma attached to this asking. It is how one can allow scorching the body organs of the beloved after being deceased. This may sound inhumane to some but what is being done for others with these organs is way bigger keeping the lines of humanity in view.

Let's pose an example to bring more clarity to the issue being raised, imagine, that a father is on his death bed following the failure of his kidney and there is no availability of the donor. Doctors have asked to arrange for a donor or lose hope of survival. The same day, the son of the abovementioned man, unfortunately, had an accident and died. Being brought to the same hospital his father was losing his hope of life in. The doctors after the final examination of the deceased called the whole family in and asked, the life of the man can be saved if you allow us to donate your son's kidney to his father. What answer you think the whole family may have given? Well for the obvious reasons and with a heavy heart, they must have allowed the doctors to take out the kidney and save the life of the one who still has a hope to live. Just because the one who was about to die was their own family member, they allowed the kidney to be donated. What if the same family was asked for someone else's father? They obviously would have denied. So, here is the message that is being upraised that to live for others is the life worth living. 

In Pakistan, more than two hundred thousand people die every year because of organ failure and a country having a population of more than 220 million, only fifteen thousand people have registered to donate their organs yet. There is a huge need for awareness in this regard. We all have a role to play, to think and decide. The example quoted above has a loud message that under a given situation, for our loved ones, we can decide to donate but when it comes to donating our organs for others, we fumble and iterate.

"Live for yourself, you will live in vain

Live for the others and you will live again"

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.
