How the private schools' fee hike is holding education hostage in Pakistan Adi Abdurab   Many of you must be aware by now, a protest movement has begun in Punjab against the recent fee hikes in private schools. These schools, among the country's most prestigious, have suddenly increased their fees without any explanation or argument, and expect students to pay up or pack up. Parents have taken to the streets in Lahore , Islamabad and Sahiwal , voicing outrage at these inordinate increments that do not correlate to the current economic climate. The schools under discussion here are among the most popular, top-tier 'brands' of education. They have numerous branches in almost every city across the country, and are the kind of places parents usually clamour to get their children enrolled into. At first, there was an introduction of a withholding tax that has now become part of the outrage, which ranges from Rs20,000/year up to 50,000/year. see more at

ROLE OF MASS MEDIA The term "Mass media" refers to the role of radio, television, newspapers, journals, magazines and other media in society. They stand for modern sophisticated channels of world-wide communication. Though the mass media make the communication possible over great distances, they are simply technical devices built into the human communication process.

THE CRISIS OF ENERGY IN PAKISTAN During the last two years our country has been undergoing severe shortage of energy. It's regretful to say that no new hydro-electric power schethe has been made since the completion of Tarbela Dam. The nuclear power project at chashma, which was to generate 900 M.W. electricity, could not have been started because of hostile international climate.

Pakistan's inception in 1947 was highly tumultuous as it entailed gigantic problems of survival. The sixty one years period is a mixed baggage of how Pakistan has been able to overcome difficulties and where it has failed to meet the challenges that it encountered. However, the greatest achievement of our society during these years was the survival against the heavy odds. The history shows us a very clear picture  that  nations  which  do  not  learn  from  experiences  seldom  retain  their independence.
