Hig h er Ed u cation International Conference (HEIC-2023) ii
Message of HEIC-2023 Patron in Chief

In today's fast-changing world, there is a constant demand for new
technologies and innovations in every sphere of industry. The ideas that feed
the ever-growing demand for new designs and applications are derived from
the intensive efforts put in by scientists and researchers all over the world who
work enthusiastically to produce results. This Higher Education International
Conference (HEIC-2023) was organized by the Department of Educational
Training, The Islamia University of Bahawalpur. The theme of the conference
this year is “Reshaping Higher Education for Sustainable Future”. Particularly
the conference will discuss Sustainable Development Goals and how we can
prepare our students for global citizenship by embedding the 17 SDGs in our
teaching, and research. Furthermore, how we can ensure inclusive and
equitable access to education in the classroom and how can we build the
capacity for research in higher education institutions. Universities provide cutting-edge research, high-quality
education, and ground-breaking innovation. Strong universities are an important part of civil society and they
are excellent promoters of global and local partnerships. University researchers, teachers and students work in
partnership with citizens and the private and the public sector, co-creating knowledge that can produce
solutions. It is the combination of these core missions that gives universities a unique place in the common
effort to achieve the SDGs. A number of universities have incorporated the SDGs into their institutional
strategies, both in management and in teaching and research. Sustainable and green campus management has
become important to many universities and is often considered part of the institution’s societal responsibility. I
hope this Higher Education International Conference will provide a forum for the exchange of ideas in
reshaping higher education for a sustainable future. I would like to see everyone here in Baha walpur at The
Islamia University of Bahawalpur and I would like to welcome all over the world.

Enculturation of STEM Education in Higher Education-“Future Skill Sets for Human Capital Development in
Smart and Circular Economy”
Mohamad Sattar Rasul
STEM Enculturation Research Center, Faculty of Education
Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia
drsattar@ukm.edu.my
The future of the economy is in STEM and ―that‘s where the jobs of tomorrow will be‖. Experts generally do agree,
however, that STEM workers use their knowledge of science, technology, engineering, or math to
try to understand how the world works and to solve problems. In the past years, the traditional
model of ―buy, consume and dispose‖ started to gradually be replaced by more sustainable beliefs
that slowly impose the concept of circular economy. The term Circular Economy (CE) may be
defined as ―a system that is restorative or regenerative by intention and design that can be
achieved by eliminating waste through the superior design of materials, products, systems and,
within this, business models‖. In STEM education, it has a critical role to play in the evolution of
circular approaches to extend the service life of goods and close the loop. It must meet the demand
for higher technical skills and provide crucial support for CE. Institutions need to equip young
people with the relevant STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) competencies for green jobs in
emerging sectors. Circular mindsets and skills must be addressed directly in the classroom, and this requires an
investment in resources such as suitable training equipment, teacher training, resource libraries, and more. Experts
emphasized that the circular economy needs new kinds of skills, actions and oper ations.

Digital Learning in Higher Education: What we know and what we don‟t

Professor Christopher Hill
Faculty of Education, The British University in Dubai
christopher.hill@buiid.ac.ae
Higher education and technology are becoming increasingly synonymous and yet there is still much
we do not fully understand that the use and value of technology in teaching and learning. The
Covid-19 pandemic brought to light many underlying issues about student engagement, assessment
and skill development that need closer attention. This talk will look at the recent changes in higher
education and discuss the role of technology in teaching and learnin g; the extent to which it is fit for
purpose; the impact it has on the knowledge economy and the opportunities to better respond to
emerging learning patterns and mobility. This talk will explore the role of Information
Communication Technology on teaching and learning approaches and identify key areas of growth
and opportunity for institutes of higher education.
Developmental Goals: Ally or Enemy-Impact of MDGs to SDGs on Elitism in Education

Gazi Mahabubul Alam
Department of Foundation of Education, Faculty of Educational Studies
Universiti Putra Malaysia, Malaysia.
gazimalamb@yahoo.com
Before introducing the MDGs in 2000 and SDGs in 2015, ratifications and agreements (such as EFA, GATS, UNFCC,
etc.) were the prime tools for the UN to monitor and to supervise its signatories. After placing the
MDGs and SDGs, both the terms and references set for the developmental goals and existing
ratifications as well as the agreements were used to supervise the UN si gnatories. Moreover, new
ratifications and agreements are being produced time to time in order to ensure the achievement of
developmental goals. The following writing doesn‘t necessarily explain the entire developmental
goals phenomena of UN; it rather exclusively focuses on education. Considering education as a
public good, public exchequer used to cover it in order to avoid ―commercialization‖ and
―commodification‖ in education. Following the GATS‘ agreement prescribed by the WTO, many
developing nations massively developed private education sector in the early 1990‘s. According to the GATS verdict,
the signatories should remove the trade barrier from their education systems; allowing ―commercialization‖. When the
MDGs commenced in 2000, the EFA (education for all) was an UN fundamental mandate for education. According to
this mandate, all signatories must provide universal education to every child regardless of their SES, race, ethnicity and
gender. In order to achieve this target, the signatories are advo cated to expand their education sector dramatically via
the NGO and private provisions. This approach was considered by arguing that this would subside the government‘s

burden. While students from privileged SES would obviously go for private sector; poor pupils may receive education
both from the NGO and public counterparts. The strategy was further prescribed; suggesting that the public anarchy in
education must be vanished. With the support of this approach, multiple providers were welcomed to compete; a nd
education became a ―commodity.‖ The concept of ―unified education‖ for national interest was challenged in many
ways. The strategy was at least greatly successful to confirm the access in universal education for everyone. However,
this strategy was also silently ensuring a freedom of choice option in education for elites only via a response towards
capitalist view. The enrolment in education was dramatically increased because of a collective force working to ensure
EFA. This sudden increased enrolment also created an enormous pressure for secondary and tertiary provisions.
Secondary provision especially higher secondary and tertiary education counterparts were overwhelmed. In order to
resolve such crisis, the governments of UN signatories are advocated to expand the private education sector
drastically; especially for tertiary and secondary provisions. Moreover, informal investment (such as private tutors,
support of private coaching center, additional support from the school teachers in exchange of privat e funds) was
encouraged particularly to learn science education since being an international product, science education is more
expansive compared to its arts and business counterparts. The financially solvent parents were happy with this
approach; making the science education as a luxury product that they can only buy to ensure a better future for their
children. The poor children had no choice but must be reliant on public funds which might be insufficient for any form of
education; let alone science education. It is further noted that as a consequential effect of MDGs (especially EFA), a
commercially viable private higher education (HE) sector has been established that also follows a rigid capitalist view in
order to ensure education for the elites. Elitism in education is not a recent phenomenon; however the above
discussion suggests that MDGs era has brought a new horizon for the concept of elitism in education. As claimed by
the EFA monitoring team that the MDGs era is seriously successful to meet the E FA targets. The team has however
realized that the drastic and rapid expansion in education as a result MDGs policy has primarily ensured quantitative
success. It is therefore the team is advocating in favor of quality education as part of the strategy; outlined for SDGs‘. In
order to ensure quality education, a number of agendas (such as objective based learning -OBE for HE, TVET
education for poor, technology-based learning and assessment, blended learning, sustainability technology in
education) are determined whether the education agenda of SDGs really improves the education quality or promote a
capitalist view in emerging countries‘ education—a matter that deserves a graver research attention in the era of
SDGs. For instance, the purpose of HE is to produce leaders, innovators and critical thinkers —should a massive and
monopoly adoption of OBE meet the authentic purpose of higher education or would it further aggravate the adverse
effect of dependency theory in education? —an answer that is badly needed before we become crazy to respond
SDGs. HE and researches not just shape the entire education system of country but help the nation to progress further.
Adaptation of dependency theory in education must welcome more adverse challenges which would certainly hinder
the sustainable development in education.
Reshaping Higher Education for Sustainable Future

Dr. Kullapa Soratana
Associate Professor in the Faculty of Logistics and Digital Supply Chain, Naresuan University, Thailand
A stagnant education system in a changing world does not encourage students to really embrace
the sustainability concept. Reshaping higher education for sustainable future is in need in 4 main
areas: Institutions, curriculum, graduates, and the industry. Higher education instituti ons should
be reshaped by incorporating sustainability principles across the disciplines, raising staff and
communities‘ awareness through outreach activities and social engagement. Curriculum and
coursework should aim at building the capacity on systemic thinking for students, and the ability
to apply sustainability concept to work and daily life, rather than just providing knowledge and
skills. For graduates, their awareness and attitudes towards sustainability should be raised.
Lectures and teaching approaches should be modified regularly to keep students up to speed of the changing world
and to promote their understanding, rather than memorizing. Finally, to reach sustainable development goals, the
collaboration should be extended to include the needs of stakeholders over the supply chain, and to build a more
sustainable society.
Upskilling and Validating the Assessment of 21 st Soft Skills

Dr. Sahbi Hidri
Assistant Professor, Department of Education, ADWC,
shidri@hct.ac.ae
Competency-based assessment has been given due momentum in different contexts, basically
for its potential of preparing graduates to be professionally effective. Upon graduation, students
are supposed to have acquired and mastered a set of a ttributes of knowledge, skills, and
competencies that help them in their future jobs. Even though these attributes are assessed, still
we do not know how teachers conceive and assess these skills and competencies, and how they
are acquired and mastered in the teaching and assessment process. Also, we do not know the
extent to which assessment can predict professional effectiveness and whether it is praxis -
oriented, prone to improvement, contextualized, criterion-referenced, or norm -referenced. Despite

its unpopularity in many academic contexts such as the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, the Common
European Framework of Reference (CEFR) as a performance-based assessment model is suggested to assess these
competencies. Even though many programs and curricula assess such skills and competencies, they are not yet
assessed based on the CEFR detailed level descriptors of the Can -Do‖ statements, thus leading teachers to make
groundless inferences about the examinees‘ ability and performance. Also, we do not know how the curriculum targets

TVET in the tourism and hospitability sectors is crucial for the development of student‘s skills in developing countries
and for building a workforce of the highest caliber because of the growth of human capital,
which has given them the tools to be highly competent and job ready. The purpos e of this study
is to determine the state of TVET centers, and the issuance of national certifications that hinder
the implementation of techvoc education and boost student confidence as a way to close the
skills and employment gaps in the workforce for th e tourism and hospitality sector. Data
collection and data analysis for this study were done using a descriptive research approach.
The study‘s findings showed that while techvoc training for universities and their techvoc
graduates is prioritized by asses sment, promotion, and training centers, trainees who
completed their studies n archaic facilities and with a dated curriculum were unemployed. The
assessment and practical skills training center demonstrated good agreement to save
resources owing to the availability of equipment and supplies, however, the tools are worthless and can only be used
for demonstration reasons due to a shortage of people to run the facilities. A lack of suitable instruments to evaluate a
future in the tourist and hospitality industries was caused by higher education assessors who seemed less optimistic,
had a lower level of dedication, and charged insufficient fees to cover assessment costs. The long -term growth of
training centers depends on the availability of promotion possibil ities in the field of THM. Also included are several
recommendations for TVET Programs in the Philippines.

Education is the foundation of not only for personal growth but of national and global growth.
The countries which have strong foundation, they have called a strong building growth and
development. For that it is very important for both learners and teachers . They understand
the real importance of education and also they understand ju st cognitive learning or skill
learning is not enough for qualify for an educated person. The most important thing is
requires for an educated person is the development of character which is only possible if our
education teaches us the values as well. The moral quotient of the person is such when he
has got two ways, he can choose the right way. How education can contribute in it, I am so
glad that the Department of Educational Training, The Islamia University of Bahawalpur,
Pakistan is going organized Higher Education International Conference (HEIC-2023) with
theme “Reshaping Higher Education for Sustainable Future”. I will be very happy to be part of it and talking on the
topic of Values in education. Values in education therefore promotes tolerance and understanding above and beyond
our political, cultural and religious differences, putting special emphasis on the defense of human rights, the protection
of ethnic minorities and the most vulnerable groups, and the conservation of the environment.

Future of Higher Education in Pakistan

Prof. Dr. Nasir Mehmood
Vice Chancellor, Allama Iqbal Open University Islamabad
The role of education particularly is recognized as critical inp ut to growth and development of a
country. This study review how the purpose of education changed over time, what are the
st
challenges faced by the education system of Pakistan in 21 century to attain this desired progress
and certain values which are much needed to be changed for the better future of education. Debate
about the purposes of education never seems to end. Young people should become educated to
enter the workforce of the country or should the purpose of education be focused more on social,
academic, cultural and intellectual development so that students can grow up to be engaged
citizens; or the Education should prepare young people for life, work and citizenship. In this world
the last thing an education system must deliver is not information, instead this, the need is the ability
to make sense of information, to tell the difference between what is important and what is unimportant, to combine bits
of information to make whole picture. The education of today is focused on providing predetermine d set of skills such a
programming, laws of science, theories of psychology, Arithmetic, English language, etc. This has become pointless to
teach all subject matter, cover the ever-increasing breadth and depth of academic disciplines. Job market, value
systems, social standards, cultural norms will reinvent itself. Schools should switch pedagogies to 4Cs; Creativity,
Critical Thinking, Collaboration and Communication. The purpose of education should be to train youth to handle with
change, learn new things , and preserve your mental balance in unfamiliar situation. Further solution to the problems is
to re-think, make political commitments, re-orient curriculum, create supportive schools, accept teachers who are
different, redesign assessment at concept and practice level be consistent and patient for at least a decade Ensure we
don‘t lose direction in between and keep adapting as needed.

Reshaping Sustainable University Education in Post-Pandemic World

Prof. Dr. Muhammad Aslam Adeeb

The outbreak of COVID-19 has affected people all around the world. Governments had no choice
but to put people in self-isolation to stop the spread of the virus. As a result, all companies and
educational institutions switched to working or studying from home. The purpose of the study is to
investigate the im pact of COVID-19 on student teaching and learning in the context of Malmö
University. Furthermore, the study proposes recommendations for sustainable post-pandemic
education at Malmö University. The study includes ten semi -structured interviews with students
followed by a workshop with ten senior lecturers teaching bachelor‘s and master‘s courses. The
study uses snowball sampling to select students for the interviews and senior lecturers for the

workshop. A qualitative data analysis technique, thematic anal ysis, is used for data analysis on the data collected from
interviews with students and the workshop with senior lecturers. The results from the study suggested that online
education leads to several benefits for students, such as better time management, h igher lecture attendance, flexibility,
and discipline in their studies. However, the shift to online education has caused communication deterioration between
students and teachers. Less social interaction with other students leads to depression, anxiety, a nd stress. The
recommendations for post-pandemic education include the unified selection of digital learning tools across courses, a
designated budget for digital learning tools, training support, and hybrid learning methods. In conclusion, the study
proposes blended and hybrid learning to improve higher education at the university, requiring digital tools to minimize
students‘ communication barriers.

Sustainable Education and Sustainability in Education: Policy and Implementation Direction in the Era of SDGs
Prof. Dr. Muhammad Rauf
Director, Institute of Educational Research, University of Peshawar, Pakistan
mrauf@uop.edu.pk
Sustainability in education and sustainable education are two different concepts, but the distinction
between them is not often acknowledged. A misleading distinction is also occasionally made to
define sustainable education, which may be applicable for sustainability in education. Sustainability
in education refers either to the activities that an educational institute undertakes in order to ensure
environmental sustainability or to a study program that includes those agendas both are capable of
protecting against environmental crisis. On the other hand , sustainable education refers to those
actions which an institution may initiate to deliver a substantial study program. These actions may
include upgrading the program and an institutional developmental schema. In addition to these, sustainable education
also refers to the mechanism that is capable of ensuring ―financial sustainability‖ for an educational institution and for
the programs offered. Therefore, sustainable education lies beyond the remit of quality control, as it also targets the
goal and philosophy of education by upholding ―financial sustainability‖. The discourse in the areas of sustainability in
education and sustainable education started during MDGs (Millilumen Development Goal) era. However, the discourse
has been receiving great interes t from the global audience in the era of SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) and is
moving towards too many directions to deal with. Sustainability in education has become a popular and relevant topic
in order to respond to the SDGs; especially to deal with the targets of 7, 11, and 13. On the other hand, the targets (4,
8, 9, 10 and 11) of SDGs have provided new milestones that the education sector needs to rethink. These milestones
have forced researchers to think beyond the issue of ―education quality‖. Hence, a new topic, namely sustainable
education, has been emerged.
How Online Learning is Reshaping Higher Education?

Prof. Dr. Akhtar Ali
Dean, Faculty of Online and Distance Education (IUB)
akhtar.ali@iub.edu.pk
Since the early days of the pandemic, in-person learning has largely given way to online
education. This abrupt shift in the global learning model has affected students of all ages, from
kindergarteners to college students alike. And, with the future of higher education already a
concern in the years leading up to the pandemic, the sudden move from classrooms to
computers signalled a powerful disruption in an already fragile educational system. While online
schooling was available before the pandemic, it was not nearly as common in higher education
as it is today. All around the world, educators and students who were used to in -person learning
have been forced to adapt. Classes turned into Zoom meetings, on -campus activities were
cancelled, and social distancing prevented students from getting a traditional college
experience. Even some graduations occurred remotely. But does that mean that online learning is here to stay? What
does the future of online education have in store? As the world adapts and learns to live with an on-going health crisis,
the higher education system can be studied. Remote learning experiences are essentially experimental. Online
education is working, but looking at which aspects of online learning are most successful provides a more robust
framework for the future.

Assessing Quality Assurance in Higher Education: Perception of Quality Managers

Prof. Dr. Khalid Khurshid

Quality of teaching and learning has become a major strategic issue in tertiary education
systems across the globe over the past decades. The present article offers a mixed -method
perspective on the investigation of determinants of effectiveness in quality assurance at higher
education institutions. The researcher collected survey data from higher education instituti ons
to analyze the degree to which quality managers perceive their approaches to quality
assurance as effective. Based on this data, the researcher developed an ordinary least
squares regression model which explains perceived effectiveness through structural variables
and certain quality assurance-related activities of quality managers. The results show that
support by higher education institutions‘ higher management and cooperation with other
education institutions are relevant preconditions for more signi ficant perceived degrees of quality assurance
effectiveness. Moreover, quality managers‘ role as promoters of quality assurance exhibits significant correlations with
perceived effectiveness. In contrast, sanctions and the perception of quality assurance a s another administrative
burden reveal negative correlations.

Over the past 20 years, national processes for research -quality assessment have been
introduced or amended across Europe. Whatever the benefits of these systems might have
brought to the organisation and quality of research most of them have contributed for a
devaluing teaching and to a growing separation between the research worlds of the university
and student learning. This study aims to contribute to a broader understanding of the role of
research for the quality of teaching and student learning and, through the collection of good
practices and recommendations, argue for the integration of these in dicators in research quality
assessment tools and evaluation frameworks. The outcomes indicate the need to discuss the
role of teaching, staff professional development, assessment criteria and the impact of research
on graduate/ postgraduate student learning. Research assessment systems should value
teaching and student learning through research and, at an institutional level, planning must support this link through the
development of strategies based on a broader and context-driven conception of ‗scholarship‘.

The accomplishment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has grown in importance
throughout the world as a result of their crucial contribution to environmental protection, economic
growth, and human wellbeing. Given their global focus, the SDGs should be viewed as the
benchmark for action towards human welfare. Higher education institutions (HEIs) have recently
assumed a leading role in the effort to achieve the SDGs, p articularly in terms of the provision of
adequate awareness through teaching and conduct of various seminars regarding poverty, hunger,
health, education, environment, gender and equality etc. HEIs can play a vital role for the proper
comprehension and achievement of the SDGs. For this purpose, many areas can be focused like:
providing awareness to students, communities and all stakeholders regarding the 17 SDGs,
inclusion of less privileged and minorities in Higher Education for equitable quality education , gender equality, women
empowerment, partnerships for success of the SDGs with various stakeholders, and sustainability of the HEIs
themselves. Higher education governance should focus on sustainability issues and to make the HEIs sustainable. The
future of higher education is connected with the attainment of SDGs and to help the stakeholders for the
accomplishment of the SDGs.

Academic resources, especially the libraries are called ‗brain‘ o f the society, however, in many under-developed and
developing countries, this resource is mostly underused or misused, if not abused. When it comes to library usage, it is
conceptualized only as a place with bookshelves, decorated in apple pie order, inst ead of a learning resource. The
study focuses on appropriate utilization of academic resources to achieve effectiveness and efficiency at higher
education institutions. The study is qualitative in nature, where 11 library experts were interviewed. Their in terviews
were recorded with their permission and later inscribed for analysis. The feedback of each interviewee was carefully
analyzed based on content analysis and the themes were extracted. Then commonalities from all the interviews were
taken as major themes and presented in the form of conceptual framework. Finding show that academic resources,
especially libraries should be exceedingly accessible and visible to all at higher education institutions. Academic
resources not only include books but also encompass any sort of educational materials, courses, trainings,
publications, and visiting experts, from whom the learners can get knowledge face to face and integrate into eLearning
record of the universities. In modern world, libraries are the most facilitated places in Higher Education Institutions,
where students love to visit most frequently, instead of visiting cafeteria or another place. It is the place where
individuals show more interest to spend time, because modern libraries provide maximum facilities including relaxing
places, efficient search places, noisy discussion corners, and extremely research cabins. Modern libraries are full of
students and teachers and remain open 24/7, without any undue restrictions and conditions. They are mostly fully
autonomous with 100% live surveillance and students and faculty members love to spend more than 70% of their time
in libraries for discussion, individual study, conducting research, reading, and for almost any sort of activity they need to
perform in Higher Education Institutions. However, unfortunately, on the other hand, in developing or underdeveloped
countries, this resource is extremely underutilized, strictly, and unduly administered, with lots of restrictions. Findings
show that at higher education institutions, five important errands need synergized, to keep academic resources intact
including: 1) current information, 2) fully aware and skillful library staff, 3) technological inclusion i.e., artificial
intelligence, 4) accessibility, and 5) tools and techniques to find and analyze information. As it is universally
acknowledged truth that in 21st century, academic resources are essentially a fundamental strength for any higher
education institution and these need to be easily accessible to the any and every learner, because they are not only
required to complete the assigned academic tasks, but also have imperative contribution towards professional
development, gaining in-depth understanding of the field, cultural and social growth, and even economic pr osperity.
Conclusively, there the framework proposes that there exist four foundations for the academic resources including: the
readers, the library, the staff, and the service. At the end, the study provides theoretical as well as practical implications
for those who are in the helm of the affairs of planning educational policy.

The study focuses on the concept that professional development, which relies on learning and learning can be
developed in higher education by promoting the factors of working with students to enable them reaching to their
potential and thus achieving goals. Challenging the current academic practices and conventions, demystifying the
prevailing systems, and then coming up with innovative new ideas needs to be harnessed. In higher education,
professional development is essential, because it augments not only confidence of the individuals but also overall
productivity and performance as well. The study is qualitative in na ture where we conducted interviews of 07 Vice
Chancellors (VCs) of different teaching and research oriented universities through a semi structured interview
questionnaire. The interviews were recorded with the prior permission and inscribed properly. Theme s were extracted
from the interviews and presented in a conceptual framework. Analysis show that professional development needs in
education include: 1) trainings related to leadership and management, 2) technical skills trainings, 3) professional
certifications, 4) interpersonal skills training and 5) teamwork, and emotional intelligence. Three main ideas related to
professional development include improving the existing skills, acquiring new skills in the field, and keeping abreast
with new processes, sys tems, and technologies. Professional development in higher education enables individuals to
achieve their goals by implementing experiential learning, exposure, and education with reflection. At higher
educational level mostly, two types of professional development concepts prevail including self-teaching and accredited
programs. The study proposes a framework that enables individuals to augment their skills and abilities through self -
teaching as well as through established formal programs by providing a framework including essential ingredients for
the enhancement of professional development at higher educational system. The study has theoretical as well as

practical implications for policymakers and the people who are in the helm of decision making.

The study highlights various challenges faced by young faculty members especiall y female faculty members at higher
education institutions. We conducted interviews of young faculty members from 3 departments including the
Department of Business administration, department of computer sciences, and department of economics form 11
universities, situated in metropolitan cities of Pakistan. Total faculty members who were interviewed work 28 in
numbers and we inscribed the interviews of all the faculty members and extracted the major themes related to the
challenges they face as young faculty members in higher education institutions. The findings show that young faculty
members face challenges including learning outcomes, the administration pressure, long hours paperwork, lack of
funding for research, student related disciplinary issues, work family problems, and alike. The studies deduces that
teaching and research at university level has been evolved over the years, and classroom management needs more
attention through mentoring young faculty members about time management, creating lesson pla n, using diverse
learning styles to teach, and organizational behavior related aspect. One of the essential challenges in 21st century is
developing value-based curricula and education where the young teachers need facilitation for different programs.
Additionally young faculty members consume a lot of time to learn the environment, university culture, and mastering
teaching techniques on their own, however various programs can be offered to reduce this time and make young
faculty members more efficient and effective in not only teaching but also research. In this way such challenges can be
turned into opportunities if universities address young faculty members issues seriously. The study proposes important
recommendations which can be of great value.

This study aims at the latest concept of sustainable knowledge management, where like other commodities and
products, one can recycle knowledge and recycle it as many times as needed. It proposes to establish a knowledge
management system based on sustainability, which further relies on sustainable green universities as the need of the
hour. The study is qualitative in nature as we conducted interviews o f 11 leaders selected from educational industry,
with a semi-structured questionnaire, owning statements related to sustainable education system and green education.
The feedback of the interviews was inscribed and analyzed, and then important themes were extracted and presented
in the form of a dynamic framework. Analysis showed that sustainability should be the central priority for a university
level education system, not only in teaching but also in research. Universities can use three major functions in cluding
teaching, conducting research, and engaging with the society and community, in all of their programs. In this way
universities can transform them into such organizations that produce high quality knowledge, based on the market
demand, that continuously advance the frontiers of various disciplines and knowledge in all fields and thus ultimately
enhancing and advancing human civilization. However, developing human civilization has its cost, where originates the
concept of green education system and green university. Here the themes show that a green university should be
based on green campus including 1) improved energy efficiency, 2) enhanced environmental quality, and 3) conserving
the resources. This further augment learning environment and promotin g creativity and innovation. Here the green
university provides its students with innovative technologies and research that encourages students to fashion out into
such humans possessing critical skills of problem solving, mental agility, decision making, and logical thinking for a
longer, sustainable effective future society. The study also provides a dynamic model for modern green university, that
can be turned into reality to harness the benefits, where a green university not only tries to meet the need of natural
resources including environmental resources, water, energy and alike, through serving and augmenting the very asset
the human resource of society.

It is universally acknowledged truth that learning is a process through which human beings become better part of the
society and humanity. With the emergence of 21st century, the concept of lifelong learning got established and the
current study focuses on the elements of self-motivated, voluntary, and ongoing pursuit of knowledge for both
professional as well as personal purposes. Lifelong learning, if established in any society, can ensure competitiveness
and development of the countrymen for better employability and e ntrepreneurship for the longer period of time. This
also enhances the employability and even life expectancy. The study is narrative in nature where we conducted meta -
analysis, based on 78 seminal studies of renowned authors in the field of learning, educa tion and management. After
analysis, we found that prior studies show that seven imperative advantages can be harnessed at the level of individual
and society if lifelong learning is adapted, including: augmenting brain health, lengthening lifespan, enhanc ing
probability of employability, better social life expectancy, developing shared and clearer vision, improved collaboration
and communication. The study deliberated upon elicited 3 major types of education system including formal, informal,
and non-formal. Based on conceptual analysis, the study proposes a conceptual framework where an educational
system can be established based on two principles including 1) education for all and 2) lifelong learning for all, at all
three levels; level of formal education system, level of informal education system and level of non - formal education
system. Furthermore, the study discusses about the existing education systems and how to transform them into
modern and dynamic system based on the proposed dynamic ideologies to tackle the challenges of future with dignity.
The study has futuristic perspectives for the education system and the people who are in the helm of the affairs.

necessities-based transitions, and advising an authentic framework which is not only grounded on proven principles to
be successful but also tenaciously credible and universally pragmatic for entire humanity. The analysis of current
educational systems has been carried out, highlighting maximum of a few benefits and various drawbacks with its petty
materialistic and short-term approach. Current educational system can be observed as a mixture of various non or one
directional-packages, sold in the form of various colors and brands. Numerous schools of thoughts exist and try to pave
their way to fashion out the countryman in their own color and design. Then side by side, various transition phases
happen, and the basket of various products and packages change color s and shapes based on the necessities
imposed by the global or regional players. However, after conceptualizing the real essence of education, based on
sources including: 1) the review of existing literature, 2) evaluation of proven and tested models of ed ucation for
success, 3) deliberations of various visionary educationists, 4) extractions of the lessons through reverse engineering
of the successful, prosperous and happy societies, the study proposes a conceptual framework built on reliability and
validity for its epistemological and ontological conceptions for higher education system. It proposes that establishing a
firm and deep-grounded educational system, based on values, culture, authenticity and, humanity at large, needs to be

In higher education, the most significant functions can never be undermined which include teaching and research.
However, with these two, there is a dire need to establish them on two imperative principles including quality and
effectiveness. Hence, the study focuses on meeting the challenges of the demand with innovative supply of knowledge
through teaching and research. We conducted interviews of 37 faculty members and researchers from different
universities of the metropolitan cities. Analysis was carried out and vario us themes were extracted through a
systematic review of the interview answers. Results show that effectiveness and teaching quality can be enhanced
through 1) setting proper expectations, 2) addressing loaners‘ needs, and 3) substantiating the lectures wit h real time

examples. Similarly on the research side, the respondents were of the opinion that educators can provide valuable
solutions to students to learn and effectively implement in order to solve problems of the society and market. Side by
side a positive attitude with consistent assessment in teaching and research, is the need of the hour, where both 1) the
students as well as 2) the study material, have to be updated, in line with the current situation, and solution oriented.
The study provides a theoretical framework where both teaching and research can be enhanced based on five
important factors including knowledge sharing, informed consent, practicality, reliability, validity. The study offers an
imperative framework which is workable to implement quality teaching and research by inculcating reflection in the
classroom, establishing learning climate, proper effective instructional rigor, student engagement, content of knowledge
sharing, and instructional relevance. The study provides ample ground fo r future researchers to carry out quantitative
analysis about effectiveness and quality of teaching, and research at higher education. The study also provides
managerial implications for those people who want to harness the benefits of higher quality teach ing and research.

The study focuses on the effectiveness of organizations, in accomplishing their goals and targets, bas ed on their
strategic planning. It is observed that most of the times it happens that organization effectiveness maybe achieved for
temporarily but for a longer term it fades away. Therefore, it is the need of the hour to study and highlight the important
factors and contributors towards sustainable organization effectiveness. Based on the conceptual analysis of the
existing literature, it is found that an organization having sustainable performance is based on its ability to meet the
expectations and needs of not only the employees but also the customers and all stakeholders, for a longer period of
time, through application of innovation and improvements side -by-side. The study carried out review of 177 seminal
research studies on organizational effectiveness and sustainability. Analysis show that any organizations can achieve
true potential by navigating the changes at hand and keep an eye on future by adopting an agile and proactive system.
Based on meta-analysis, seven important strategies have been highl ighted including:1) effective human resource
management, 2) effective and sustainable growth at all levels, 3) sustainable customer relationship, 4) sustainable
quality enhancement of the products and services, and 5) sustainable usage of technology and it s advancement. The
study also extracted important themes related to sustainable organizational effectiveness systems, which include
accountability, communication, measurement of the performance, and leadership. Findings show that sustainable
organization effectiveness depends on how an organization meets its long term goals and objectives, based on
product, process and people. Based on this, the study presents a management perspective for a sustainable

In higher education institutions, faculty members face various challenges including language barriers, lack of discipline,
large class sizes, and lack of human resources, program development, and social issues. Although there are so many
challenges, however female faculty members face a lot more challenges as compared to their male fa culty members.
The study focuses on those challenges which are of great concern because they influence the personal as well as
professional life of a female teacher. We conducted interviews of female faculty members, teaching at university level
with the experience of three years and more. Seventeen interviews were conducted, and all the interviews were
inscribed, and common issues were extracted from their feedback. After that, a thematic analysis was carried out
employing NVIVO Software. Findings show that female faculty members face issues concerning to 1) quality of
teaching, 2) the conduct of students, 3) society requirements related issues, 4) financial crisis, 5) inefficient system, 6)
poor academic results, and 7) research publications. Furthermore, subsequent issues include family related matters, as
those female faculty members who get married and have children; their job becomes much more stressful and
demanding. They also face challenges of not having a motivated and encouraging environment in hig her education
institutions, which further augments their challenging times. Side by side disciplining the students, is also one of the
important issues, female faculty members face more than their male counterparts. In this way, workplace stress stems
out, transfers into anxiety and spreads to overall life of a female faculty member, subsequently further hammering the
effectiveness at workplace. Consequently, this leads to stress, depression, and further psychological issues. In this
scenario, the study provides a comprehensive framework to address the challenges faced by faculty members at
higher education institutions, at three levels including: self-development level, family support level, and institutional
support level.

Unhealthy Competition at Higher Education Institutions – A Solution-Oriented Inclusivity Framework
1 2
Nazish Imtiaz , Dr. Muhammad Zia-ur-Rehman
Lecturer, National textile University, Faisalabad
Competition is considered important for growth and development in any field, individually as well as professionally.
Similarly, competition in higher education institutions is also necessary, however the study addresses the kind of
competition that is unhealthy, which not only creates worse impact on the lives of faculty members but also hampers
the progress and development, instead of supporting it. In nowadays fast changing world, competition in higher
education institutions, is becoming speedier as well, where targets are imposed on the faculty members, including
teaching workload, producing quality, completing teaching assignments, administrative duties, research publications
and winning the funded projects. Additionally, it is expected from the faculty members to do it without providing
effective support including human resource and other facilities. Therefore, it leads towards an u nhealthy competition,

as it tries to take over the thoughts of faculty members and making them not only feel miserable at personal level but
also at professional level. This further adds fuel to fire when the environment is uncooperative, and the system is
inefficiently structured or too loose to be used for generating results. Additionally, this kills the creativity and innovati on
of faculty members. In this situation, faculty members try their luck on their own to fulfill the system requirements as
well as the heavy demands put on them. This ultimately leads the thought process to employ various unethical
shortcuts to meet the imposed targets. In this situation, they try to win by hook or by crook, and thereof this unhealthy
competition emerges, which further leads to neglect many other central aspects of life including family, friends,
socializing and personal growth as human being. The interviewees of the study believed that such situation further
leads to additional problems in lives of the faculty membe rs. And the shortcuts cannot be sustained for a longer period;
therefore faculty members try to look for other options. When they feel burnout, prior studies show that individuals used
to try to leave the jobs, however, in this situation of high unemployme nt, instead of leaving the organizations, they opt
for isolation and disconnection to save their time and energy. Thus, ultimately ending up with a state of grumpiness and
unhappiness that stretches over their lives. The study presents an inclusivity oriented framework with the proposition to
avoid various unhealthy competition oriented activities that hamper the creativity and innovation at workplace, and
proposes a framework for healthy competition composed of the ingredients of: 1) competitiveness with a purpose, 2)
competitiveness based on self-improvement, 3) competing with others without sacrificing the relationship of coworkers,
4) competing with self to get better as compared to past, and 5) competing to resolve the issues instead of just winn or
gain the advantage by letting others down. The study also provides essential suggestions which can turn an unhealthy
competition into a healthy cooperation, thus leading to achieve much better and higher results with effectiveness and
efficiency.

The study focuses on the current situation of higher education internatio nally in general and of Pakistan in specific.
Based on COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath effects, international community has adapted lots of changes in all
spheres of life including education. It has been universally observed and acknowledged that highe r education has
transformed and is further transforming itself at fast speed in varied aspects. In Pakistan various adaptations have
been proposed, some have been incorporated but unfortunately many still need to be addressed to be materialized.
Relying on the speed of change and predicting the educational system specifically higher education, in the year 2030
and beyond 2030 is not difficult. The study is qualitative in nature where we carried out interviews from seven
renowned visionary leaders in educational system. The respondents were contacts and got appointments, then their
interviews were recorded and inscribed based on a semi structured questionnaire. A thematic analysis was carried out
and finding show that there would be huge change in the year 20 30 and beyond. Pakistan may be facing imperative
challenges beyond 2030 in the field of higher education and various risks as well. Based on the thematic analysis, five
most important challenges were extracted including: 1) inclusion of artificially intell igent systems in higher education, 2)
mushroom growth of e-learning platforms, 3) bases of new demands, transformation in provision of educational
contents, 4) mandatory supplementary focus on emotional and social skills, and 5) shifting role of a teacher and
teaching methods. Findings show that the future of education will be more problem solving oriented, power of artificial
intelligence would be tremendously augmented, and deep learning would have become reality in all or maximum higher
education institutions. However, one of the major risks for higher education beyond 2030 could be acquiring, storing,
and utilizing knowledge and sharing of it for decision making related to various personal and industrial problems. The
study provides essential theoretical as well as practical implications for the decision makers and policymakers.

United Nations
Universities are considered to impart knowledge that is universal in nature, ga in a decent employment and personality
based on professional achievement and personal growth. Apart from academic programs and learning, the study
focuses on unique learning opportunities for the students at university level. We conducted group discussions to elicit
learning opportunities in universities for the students. The study was conducted in two phases, first phase comprised of
asking the question and extracting the feedback from the university students about what sort of learning they expect
from the university level, and 2nd phase includes inquiring about the available learning opportunities for them in their
universities. In first phase the assessment shows that 7 essential skills and competencies students look for, including

critical thinking, effective communication, creativity and innovation, team building and networking, self-management,
assertiveness, and study skills. In the second phase, the study elicited that there are various types of learning
experiences and opportunities based on formal learning opportunities, informal learning opportunities and self-learning
opportunities. Findings show that in universities, extended learning opportunities need to be focused on, because such
opportunities allow students to acquire fundamental knowledge a nd abilities through classroom study as well as
through practice to become independent learners in their lives. Universities need to provide such opportunities
including internships, community service, online courses, apprenticeships, independent studies, private instructions,
and mentoring programs. Such opportunities can help students to become better professionals as well as to perform
academically at higher level. The management of the universities need to consider such learning opportunities at
university level to fashion out students in becoming better part of the society. The study presents an analysis of the
existing learning opportunities and proposes various effective learning opportunities for higher education institutions
which can be having practical as well as theoretical implications for the people who are in the helm of the affairs.

human sustainability. The study was carried out with the aim that national economic growth and social inclusion for the
well-being of the countrymen in in specific and humanity in general. Th e study relies on the documents of United
Nations that present 17 sustainable development goals, and research articles with the strategies, published in various
renowned journals. After conducting a thorough and in -depth review of existing literature, all the 17 sustainable
development goals had been discussed one by one in detail. After then, we conducted interviews of the experts from
the respective fields. Hence, we conducted 17 interviews on each sustainable development goal and inscribed that to
extract the themes to align goals strategically according to Pakistani culture, environment and economy. After mapping
the themes with sustainable development goals, results were generated. Findings show that the most important of all is
to eliminate poverty , because if there exist hunger the other goals may not be naturally considered including
education, gender, equality, clean energy, innovation, infrastructure and alike. There is a need for global partnership in
achieving sustainable development in the country at macro as at micro level and for eliminating poverty, there needs to
have a strategic and sustainable design for a longer period with all the stakeholders contributing effectively. This can
automatically lead to help all other goals to be achieved gra dually. In this way sustainable development is linked with

Although there are so many issues that need attention in higher education institutio ns, however this study brings
attention towards one of the most significant issues of the students including attitude, communication barriers, physical
disability or inability, and social disability. The article also addresses some learning disabilities, w hich are not only
limited to physical disabilities but also mental ones. To obtain qualitative data, we conducted interviews of 27
educationists from all over country. Findings, after analyzing the feedback, show that some learners possess disorders
that are manifested in their personalities which create difficulties in acquiring and learning knowledge, and specific
skills of speaking, listening, writing, reading, mathematical abilities and reasoning, while other learners face academic
disabilities including fluency, problem solving competency, expression, and oral presentation. As the study focused on
the strategies that can enhance their attention and give them confidence to be successful, instead of possessing the
feeling of failure, philanthropic environment of acceptance instead of feeling neglected, providing benevolent oriented
culture of support instead of bullying, offering compassion to be coexistent instead of being mentally absent. We also
found that in educational management, with the physical di sabilities, there can be various erstwhile common disabilities
including 1) attention deficit, 2) hyperactivity disorder, 3) mobility disorder, 4) learning disabilities, 5) psychiatric
disabilities, 6) medical disabilities, 7) visual impairments, 8) trauma tic brain injury, 9) post- traumatic stress disorder,
and 10) being deaf or hard in hearing. The study presents a framework to cope with such disabilities in a sensible
manner. By understanding such issues, higher education institutions can be turned into places where the inability and
disability issues are sensibly managed through a synergistic strategy which can help to develop a healthy society in

specific and humanity in general. There are lots of challenges that higher education institutions face in th is scenario,
which include insufficient teaching resources, lack of financial support, lack of staff members, and difficulties of
program implementation and integration. Conclusively, the study provides a conceptual framework to address such
issues at higher education institutions to transform universities into centers of social development for the country.

The article focuses on unique and forgotten paradigms that are culture in higher education. Based on observation, it
has been noticed that whatever transformation happens, or the efforts made in higher education, they are all
interconnected to advancement, technology, and all o ther facets related to development, however the cultural
perspective has been missing or kept at the lowest priority. The study is qualitative in nature and conceptual. Based on
the existing literature, the latest reviews show that at universities the stud ents come from different societies and bring
their own culture which reflects in their academic outlooks, ethics, their behavior and spirits. They also transport
whatever they had learnt in their childhood socialization, ecological adoption, biological eff ects, their language, and
social cultural tightness to higher education institutions. Culture is actually the way individuals within some society
interact with each other based on their feelings, opinions and emotions. It has been observed that in every hi gher
education institution, a culture exists and automatically gets developed regardless of properly planning, aligning, and
developing. This unknown and unidentified culture gets established based on the demographics, workload, dress, class
size, holidays , teaching style, and environment. This cultural aspect does not stop here, as it influences learning of the
students at higher education institutions more than what the programs, they get enrolled in. Students learn about new
culture based on new feelings and new behavior. Side by side, it‘s true that education creates impact on the culture by
providing students the respective chunks of knowledge that can ultimately transform them into individuals that see how
they perceive about themselves and the world they are in. The study shows that a collective conscious effort is the
need of the hour at higher education institutions by establishing their culture that can lead to a national culture. For this
the study presents a framework, where all the imperative ing redients show how as a nation, a culture can be
established at higher education.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of a blended learning approach on the writing abilities and
vocabulary mastery of EFL learners. The research was both quasi -experimental. We decided to compare the outcomes
of a blended learning approach to a traditional EFL course, with a particular emphasis on progress in writing skills. The
study was designed with ICT tools, Multi-media, DVI, PPP, and face-to-face interaction. A sample of 190 students was
used, with 95 representing the experimental group and 95 representing the control groups. Throughout the treatment,
participants in the experimental group were instructed using a blended learning rotation model. The participants in the
control group worked within the framework of the traditional paradigm and used the typical communicative approach.
The treatment lasted four weeks. Pre-test and post-test were used as data collection tools. The mean, standard
deviation and independent sample t-test were applied for the analysis of data. Among the advantages are, of course,
the availability of materials, students' desire to learn and try new things, the ability to study whenever and wherever
they want, the ability to concentrate at home, progress in writing, and other skills. The analysis revea led that the
experimental group outperformed the control group using traditional education methods. To summarize, blended
learning can successful y improve the progress of EFL students' writing skills at FGEIs (C/G).

Five Inventory (BFI-K; John & Ramstedt, 2013) and Experience in Close Relationships (ECR -RS; Fraley, et al., 2011)
were used as assessment measures. Results revealed that Gender, Age, Education, Student Status, Mother‘s
occupation are pos itively correlated with academic achievement. However, Mother‘s education and father‘s education
and neuroticism were negatively correlated with academics. Those people who scored high on neuroticism scored less
in academics and had a negative relationship. Gender and mother‘s education were found significant positive predictor
of academic achievement whereas relationship structures were not found significant predictor of academic
achievement. Findings of this research can be implemented in the school and c olleges or educational institutions to
improve the relationship structures of students, so they can get good grades.

History is more concerned with present and future than past. History writing and Teaching is always contextualized in
the contemporary world. Theoretical and methodological aspects of history writing and teaching bring the past in the
contemporary world with the use of existing structures of lan guage and culture. Futuristic aspects of history and
historiography are complex in nature. Question of Historical contingency requires a careful understanding and
examination of evolutionary process taking place in language and culture. In Pakistani context, the place of history as a
subject of knowledge is shrinking. It is a critical junction for the survival of history as a subject of knowledge in Pakista ni
Academia. The question of present and future relevance of history as a subject of knowledge require s a methodological
discourse based on language and culture. Language and culture are the prime location where evolutionary nature of
history becomes visible. Discourse on History in Pakistan discusses the question of languages and culture in diverse
manner but its appearance in academic teaching and writing is still pending. This paper intends to investigate the
question of relevance of History as a subject of knowledge by focusing on the influence of language and culture on this
discipline. It will help to gauge the future resonance and status of the History in higher education.

This study was designed to investigate the exploration of alternative conceptions and its best possible reasons in
learning mathematics. Objectives of the study were: to find out the alternative conceptions of the students‘ learning in
the subject of mathematics, to explore the reasons behind these misconceptions and to give suggestions to improve
the students‘ alternative conceptions in learning of mathematics. This study was descriptive in nature. 1000 students
were randomly selected from different institutions. A standardized test consisting of one hundred MCQs was developed
as research tool under the guidance of experts. The study concluded that the reasons behind these alternative
conceptions are different pedagogies used by teachers and lack of knowledge about the origin of different types of
misconceptions, unawareness of students‘ prior knowledge acquired from academic settings. As the Initial conceptual

framework of students‘ knowledge is based on their prior knowledge and experiences .Hence these can be used to
formulate more effective teaching strategies Further this research emphasized that the teachers must understand the
students‘ feeling when they experience conflict, and how these experiences are related to their final responses
because cognitive conflict has both constructive and destructive potential. Thus, by interpreting, recognizing and
managing cognitive conflicts, a teacher can then successfully interpret these cognitive conflicts and make conceptual
change more likely or help students to have meaningful learning experiences in the subject of Mathematics.

Previous studies on madrassas were majorly focused on the content and impact of education in Madrassa, modern
trends and issues, m adrassa reforms/registration, etc. whereas, mainstreaming of madrassa education with
school/technical education after/during religious education is also an important factor to be analyzed. The aim of
present study is to prepare an educational model to main streaming of madrassas education through different
departments concerns. In this research, the study population is madrassas in Southern Punjab. Students, parents and
teachers of madrassa from Southern Punjab are invited to give their feedback and views ab out Curriculum of madrassa
education and, point of view regarding provision school education, technical education in madrassa with religious
education in Southern Punjab. A brief survey questionnaire for students and interview questions for parents and
teachers were established alongside with facilities observational sheet to meet the objective of this study. Madrassas
are visited 87 responses were collected from madrassa concerns. This study was descriptive in nature. Author found
out that Teachers and parents understand that religious education is beneficial in both present world and hereafter but
they also want that learners should also get school education. They recommend that madrassas have not facilities to
provide school education while government should support in this regard. Similarly, author also suggested models to
mainstream madrassas education. Thus, it is concluded that some madrassas are giving school education and all
others want to facilitate madrassas learners for getting school education. However, at the same time, government of
Pakistan does not seem to be taking any special interest in this matter which should be taken up. Provision of basic
school education, technical education, along with religious education should be mandatory. Resourc es should be
provided to madrassas without disturbing their religious education process. Government, society and madrassas itself
should play their roles in this regard.

Despite the commitments made to address environmental issues by various higher education institutions, the
anticipated changes have not yet been made. Changes in the educational system must be addressed if institutions are
to understand the concept of sustainability. The authors‘; content analysis of each GCC country (United Arab Emirates,
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Sultanate of Oman, Kuwait, and Kingdom of Bahrain) with a sample of 10 higher
education institutions revealed that only 5% of the universities decided to include sustainability in their mission
statements. The current study‘s descriptive nature was achieved by using a survey method to collect the data. A
qualitative study approach was used to analyze the findin gs after data regarding the difficulties students in particular
universities encountered were acquired. Students from a number of Islamabad universities were the study‘s
participants. Randomly chosen from among the N=15 students enrolled at various univers ities, they served as the
study‘s sample. Prior to the interview, demographic inquiries about the students‘; backgrounds, such as their gender,
place of residence, level of education, and employment history, were made. The reason all university students we re
chosen as respondents was because they were all inhabitants of Islamabad and had experience with a single
university in their separate areas. The population of the study consisted of every student from each of university of
Islamabad. The target demography was used to choose a sample of 285 pupils. Based on the pupil s‘; performances,
the researcher modified the device. The data for this study was entirely manually collected by the researcher using
primary sources. The researcher looked at the data using multiple regression and Pearson correlation while keeping in

During doctoral research studies, university students pass through different research experiences, and these
experiences might significantly influence the students' mental well -being. Thus, the present study investigates the effect
of university students' research experiences on their mental well -being. The study participants were 190 research
students conveniently selected from different departments of a public-sector university. The Postgraduate Research
Experience Questionnaire (Drennan, 2008) and Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (Tennant et al., 2007)
were used to collect data in this study. Descriptive and inferential statistics were applied to the collected data. The
study findings revealed that male students had higher levels of well -being than female research students. Similarly,
good supervision had positive effects on the well -being of research students. In time feedback from the supervisor
might enhance the well-being of research students, so in the future, it is suggested to make a suitable mechanism that
assures the availability of a supervisor, arrange in time meetings with the supervisee, and proper feedback collection
from supervisor and supervisee.

The purpose of this research study to identify the Inquiries into positive transgender development are particularly
important given the high rates of gender-based victimization and limited mental health resources in Pakistan‘s province
Punjab . Moreover, transgender Pakistan‘s province Punjab may encounter multiple forms of minority stress as a
religious minority, gender minority and often as immigrant and eth nic minorities as well. There are few psychological
studies found at present that address the religious and spiritual lives of transgender individuals effecting in Pakistan‘s
province Punjab. The current exploratory study therefore used a mixed -methods des ign to explore the religious and
mental health experiences of 150 transgender Pakistan‘s province Punjab. Participants completed a series of religious,
mental health and identity development measures as well as open -ended questions regarding their religious and family
dynamics. Fifty out of the 150 transgender Pakistan‘s province Punjab participants narrated a challenging coming -out
event, however the average depression scores for the sample were moderate and self-esteem scores were within the
normal range. Although a larger, longitudinal sample is required to conduct a statistical analysis of the mediating
factors, qualitative analysis suggested that Fifty of the 150 participants used religion and spirituality as important coping
tools (e.g., Allah, Quran, liberation theology). The present study‘s exploratory and descriptive analyses help build a
stronger theoretical foundation for understanding both the positive and negative aspects of religiosity and spirituality in
transgender Pakistan‘s province Punjab lives. Furthermore, this study highlights the need for more complex qualitative
and quantitative analyses of gender minorities‘ religious resilience and identity development experiences.

The study's objectives were to identify instances of gender discrimination among male and female public school
teachers, its extent and to propose strategies to lessen the impact of the glass ceiling, sticky floors, and bricked walls
as well as other forms of discriminatory constrains. Research was conducted to examine the current instances of
gender discrimination in the workplace. This was a quantitative research. Research instrument was a questionnaire
having 59 items. The research sample comprised of 161 people working in boys high and higher secondary schools of
District Bahawalpur. Out of these, 60 were female teachers, 78 were male tea chers, and 23 were school
administrators. SPSS was used for data analysis. According to the study‘s findings, even though women are frequently
separated from men and given discriminated treatment in schools, this prejudice is moderate as compared to the pa st
instances of discrimination. In Bahawalpur, social norms for women personal conduct and obligations are based on
their qualities, talents, aptitudes, identification traits, jobs, and desires. In fact, a man - centered society suggests a
patriarchal culture and dominance at work .It has been concluded that occurrences of Gender discrimination cannot be
denied, but now its victims are not confined only to female sex rather males are also fallen victim to this unequal
treatment and their basic rights are als o affected .The study demonstrated that gender-based constraints cause
inequalities in performance, communication, and efficacy among female teachers even while they do not result in
discrimination in remuneration, promotion, or training chances. The repor t advises managers and directors to
comprehend the main factors that contribute to discrimination. In any case, being able to recognize gender
discrimination is only the first step; managers must also be taught how to handle it and prevent it from happenin g

again.

This paper explored the parents' and teachers' beliefs regarding the use of e-mails and online platforms for two-way
communication. The theoretical model was an adaptation of the Decomposed Theory of Planned Behavior tailored
specifically to address technological acceptance in parent-teacher interactions, which shows the most important beliefs
that support or constrain the use of digital media for family-school communication. The data were obtained from

interviews with 30 families and 35 teachers from 11 different schools in Bahawalpur. The findings revealed that parents
and teachers hold a set of beliefs about the use of digital media: beliefs about the medium (based on the
characteristics of e-mails and online platforms) and beliefs about the context (based on their perceptio ns of the setting
and of themselves), with the latter being the most important barriers to the use of digital media, particularly for
teachers. The findings also showed that parents and teachers display more positive stances on the use of digital media
in schools where the management team promotes the use of e -mails or online platforms for family-school
communication. A major implication of these findings is that management teams should take the first step to introducing
digital media to communicate with families. These findings are also important for researchers as they provide a
framework to guide further studies, and give an insight into a field in which the literature is scarce.

into their teaching. There are different learning styles. Three of the most popular in kindergartens g rades (KG 1); ones
are visual, auditory, and kinesthetic in which students take in information. Some students are visual learners, while
others are auditory or kinesthetic learners. While students use all of their senses to take in information, they seem t o
have preferences in how they learn best. In order to help students learning, teachers and parents need to teach as
many of these preferences as possible. This study was meant to investigate the learning styles for Society, (465)
parents, and (74) female teachers completed (LSI) to determine if their children / students preferred learning styles

The purpose of this research was to evaluate the arrangements made regarding risk management in higher education
institutions. Higher education institutions face various issues and challenges every day, such as natural disasters, rain,
floods, earthquakes, cold and heat, traffic problems in rainy days, sexual harassment problems in institutions, fights,

prejudice, financial problems, Political and social issues, educational issues of children were included. To achieve this
goal, 200 participants were selected from 50 higher education institutions of Punjab, their opinions on these matters
were known, then the results were obtained by applying various state tests to the obtained data. The results were not
satisfactory, in some institutions there was no formal risk management cell, only a risk management committee, which
was slow and lazy, did not do any work on merit and political pressure seemed to prevail over the committee. It is
recommended that a formal risk management cell be established in higher education institutions to address all these
issues by taking independent decisions without any pressure.

The use of digital media for parent-teacher communication is increasing. However, many parents and teache rs are still
reluctant to use such media to enhance two-way pedagogical communication between parents and teachers. This
paper explores the parents' and teachers' beliefs regarding the use of e -mails and online platforms for two-way
communication. We first developed a theoretical model as an adaptation of the Decomposed Theory of Planned
Behavior tailored specifically to address technological acceptance in parent-teacher interactions, which shows the most
important beliefs that support or constrain the use of digital media for family-school communication. Then we compared
the participants' views (parents and/or teachers from ICT schools and non -ICT schools) on using e-mails and online
platforms in order to provide a more context-based understanding of the beliefs influencing the use of digital media for
parent-teacher pedagogical communication. The data were obtained from interviews with 30 families and 35 teachers
from 11 different schools in Bahawalpur. The findings revealed that parents and teachers hold a set of beliefs about the
use of digital media: beliefs about the medium (based on the characteristics of e -mails and online platforms) and beliefs
about the context (based on their perceptions of the setting and of themselves), with the latter being the m ost important

barriers to the use of digital media, particularly for teachers. The findings also showed that parents and teachers
display more positive stances on the use of digital media in schools where the management team promotes the use of
e-mails or online platforms for family-school communication. A major implication of these findings is that management
teams should take the first step to introducing digital media to communicate with families.

Throughout its existence, every person is concurrently or sequentially under the impact of multiple educational
influences that contribute to their formation. These influences, purposeful educational, triggers and produce changes in
the internal structure of the human personality, whether having an intentional, systematic, organized character, or
acting spontaneously, accidentally. Given the different degree of intentionality of education influences and the
existence of different learning situations. The recent economic crisis in Pakistan has reshaped the way education is
perceived. Admittedly, education has been considered as one of the pillars that can push Pakistan towards economic

stability. Consequently, in recent years we have witnessed growing investments in education. The much -needed
money flows have made an impact; however the situation is less than ideal as many ur gent problems have been
overlooked and continue to prevail. Pakistan is facing the problem of the economization of education, not providing
students with the skills of the 21"century, cannot developed their personalities and the reduced quality of teaching . It is
our argument that three factors which will have a positive impact include using new technologies in education, teaching
digital competencies, and finally highlighting learning styles preferences to engage all students in learning as well as
developing their personalities. It is the aim of this work to provide evidence that incorporating the three
recommendations will result in improved education outcomes in Pakistan.

Junaid.jan@iub.edu.pk
The study aims to highlight the status of legal education in Pakistan which appears to be takings its last sighs. The
Universities providing legal education pay less attention to the professional development of upcoming lawyers and
professional bodies are also lacking their oversight. The Legal Sector of Pakista n plays a vibrant role in the rule of law
and in fostering democratic norms but the health of legal education is also deteriorating because of outdated curriculum
and teaching methodologies, and a lack of effective evaluation systems and problem -solving approaches. Moreover,
due to a lack of quality legal research and advanced teaching methodologies, the standard of legal education has not
been improved for decades. The study employs descriptive analytical methodology to analyze the causes of the
deterioration of legal education in Pakistan. Legal Education is one of those fields that is underfunded and ignored
persistently, while the private institutions offering external laws have prioritized profit above quality. As a result, the
impacts of poor legal education are visible on the social and political picture of the country with depleting democratic
norms, rule of law, and prevalence of ―Wukla gardi‖. Thus, society never valued scholars and legal academics. So, it is
the right time to critically analyze this situation and revamp the legal education system in Pakistan by harmonizing it
with international standards and practices. This study is an effort to depict the current status of Legal Education in
Pakistan and the challenges it faces as a result of the a bove-mentioned reasons. It also highlights the reforms and
prospects that can be implemented in our system to reinforce the roots of the system.

The study grabs the attention of the readers towards one of the most embedded issues at higher education institutions,
that is diversity and its management approaches. The study is qualitative in nature, as we conducted interviews of the
registrar offices and heads of departments of 17 universities situated in Pakistan. Data were gathered based on semi
structured questionnaire where major themes were extracted in the context of diversity and its management. An
inclusion model has also been proposed for managing diversity, which is based on the analysis that students from
various diverse backgrounds, cultural aspects, and orientation, if not managed and handled sensibly at uni versity level,
they can feel unsafe and stand out alone not only in the classroom but also in their academic performance. Findings
show that various issues can arise, if diversity management approach is not adapted like hostility, communication
issues, ethnicity-based discrimination, and demographics -oriented discrimination. The study presents an inclusion -
based diversity management framework which inculcates various essential aspects and addresses the cultural
misunderstanding, communication issues, and inequitable inclusion of all the diversity related factors. At the end, the
study presents a solution which suggests inclusion-oriented admission criteria and practices, provision of mentoring
opportunities, conducing trainings, and workshops for diversity a wareness in universities. Thus, inclusion can be taken
as a priority to promote teamwork and overall performance of university as an organization. The study presents
theoretical as well as practical implications for higher education institutions, especiall y the universities of Pakistan.
