In the jrca of crime detection, control and law enforcement, we are still relying on outmoded and worn out techiuques and technology while the criminals have

graduated to state-of-the an electronics and sophisticated weaponry to combat the growing menace of modern crime, a countrywide computer network is indispensable It

can dig out criminals buried deep under the inoth-caten filling dcbris, analyses the incoming

data and detect identical patterns of crime leading to a common origin. Computer can prepare lists of criminals on the basis of age group, methods of operation, nature of

crime, number of convictions, and so on. A proving gang of criminals striking every time in a different city with a consistent pattern cannot only be detected; its next

possible target can be predicted and dealt accordingly. Computerization will improve the efficiency of the police force by allocating lesser number of people more

strategically instead of everyone roaming about on a wild goose-chase. Computerizattun can also rescue the central Board of Revenue from the nightmarish chaos it has

accepted as its

Bureaucracy is a major hurdle in modernizing the system partly because of its in-built lethargy and partly because computerization would certainly lesson its exploitative

control that it currently enjoys. Hitherto, computer in most of the government departments is used as a sophisticated typewriter or an impressive omament to grace the

executive table.

A number of international organizations are willing to extend technical and financial assistance for the computerization of the public and private sector and we must not

let such opportunities lapse through our legendary lethargy and administrative red tape.

Ii has become a national habit to curse the state for anything that happens in our lives. If there is a breakdown of elect, city

or traffic jam on the road, it is our favorite pastime to start finding fault with the state. We do not realize how danger is this. By casting doubts on the existence or efficacy

of state in solving daily life problems, we are playing in the hands of terrorists. Because their main objective is to make people realise that the state has become a failure.

Our media also sometimes cannot maintain the fine balance between criticism and despondency. Pakistan is not a failed slate. The people of Pakistan are aware that

they have a political, cultural and social issues that we have to sort out. But nobody should think that the people of Pakistan are not capacitated to do the job. With the

help of our strong faith in Allah, our capacities and by building our institutions, we would steer Pakistan out of these hard times. The best example of this resolve can be

seen in the operation Zarb-e-Azab when the valiant armed forces of Pakistan. backed by the civilian aupposi, reduced the number of terrorist attacks iii Pakistan. And

Pakistan is on the way to xogress and prosperity.

Questions:

What is our favouriie pastime in an unusual situation? 2. What is the inherent danger in cursing the state?

earliest times to the present and from the moss primitive and simple so the most complcx way of living, we arc strongly unpressed by the fact that whatever men have lived together there
has been some group interest in education. As the group becomes more complex than this interest grows, institution s definitely charged with she task of teaching arc created. Thus the
school comes into existence and an educational system evolves.
But so far as we know from the meagre records which have
been left, early man had only a very simple education system. Most of the childs learning was picked up as he associated with this parents and other members of the family, (nbc, clan, or
larger group. lie learned to fish and to prepare his food, to fight his enemies and so take care of his simple and elcmcntary needs, In short, he learnt to survive on tb Id in which he
found himself.
As the life of group became more complex, certain number of the groups took it upon themselves to become thoroughly familiar with the traditions and die customs and devoted most
of their time to teaching of the young. At first, this teaching was done wherever the teacher and a group of learners cared together. But laser specified places for teaching and learning
were set up. These were the first schools.
