No its true...Oxford is too expensive for normal kids so it is unnecessarily flooded with rich brats...Hack the British themselves have uplifted it soo much they dont believe they can get an admission and dont even try much! BOTH Oxford and Cambridge need to fill their foreign seats (coz of high tuition fee they usually have alot of foreign student quota where imbeciles like rich useless brats fill)...An average person usually gets in only based on scholarship where only 1-2 / faculty exists for foreign students...I know this as a fact coz a colleague's British high school friend went to Cambridge with a BCD in his A-levels...
And another colleague's British niece was too scared to try even when she got AAB in her A-levels...these are just 2 of the examples I came across not to mention the other random samples I got...
Well honestly speaking Western education is impressive
where they teach you to think over memorizing
where they teach you to apply over memorizing
where you are thought to analyze instead of regurgitating what you learnt in class...
Then we also have the more hands on experience if you are in lab based education....and excursions and internships to see and feel the after education life! VERY little of such happens in Pakistan...in unis where it does happen, you pay equal fees (for 4 yrs) to that you can pay overseas for 1yr!
Legends are not only made from the school one went to....but from your own built up ...There are people like Steve Jobs, Einstein and also Bill gates whose schools didnt play soo much a role in their development to success and legendary journeys!
In the end, you have written the proven truth, its not education, its natural born capabilities which all it matters running a country, specially like pakistan.
PM orders investigation into fuel shortage as crisis deepens
Dawn.com
Published 11 minutes ago
brought down electricity generation by over 2,000MW, raising the deficit to 7,000MW and cutting supplies to half of the total demand of over 14,000MW.
More power plants are likely to suspend working in a few days because they are running out of furnace oil, the power sector’s managers warned on Saturday.
To save domestic consumers, who are already facing around 12- hour outages, from further suffering, the managers have increased loadshedding for the industry from four to 10 hours.
The government has also asked public sector companies to cut their generation to half because of paucity of fuel.
Editorial: Out of fuel
Faced with a crisis in fuel supply, the government decided last night to shoot the messenger and suspend four officials from the bureaucracy, leaving ministers untouched.
The minister for petroleum escaped accountability after telling the Senate and later the media that the shortages are the result of a spike in demand because of the downward revision in prices, as well as a partial shutdown at Parco, the country’s largest refinery.
Ogra, the regulator for the oil and gas sector, placed the emphasis elsewhere, saying that the crisis is due in part to the rise in demand, and also to the unwillingness of oil marketing companies to maintain stocks to help tide over temporary difficulties.
Meanwhile, the finance secretary told the Senate that the circular debt was the main reason, because of which PSO could not arrange the funds to pay its creditors and thus found itself unplugged from its lines of credit.
This circus must end. In large part, the crisis is also the result of the heavy centralisation of all decision-making in the hands of a very small number of individuals, which is the hallmark of this government’s style.
Common sense says all these factors must have played a role, but the evidence says it was mismanagement of the circular debt, which caused a severe crisis of liquidity in the country’s largest oil importing company — PSO — which was the primary cause.
Today government ministers and functionaries are searching for all sorts of excuses that absolve the government of responsibility in the creation of this mess, while heads roll in the wrong quarters, and different departments give us different ideas of how long it will take for the situation to normalise.
They have offered excuses before the Senate, on media talk shows and at press conferences that say everything, other than stating the plain fact that we are in this mess because they have failed to manage the circular debt, in cause and consequence.
This circus must end. In large part, the crisis is also the result of the heavy centralisation of all decision-making in the hands of a very small number of individuals, which is the hallmark of this government’s style.
Investogation after investigation, report after report, but where is petrol?
all drama is happening with the involvment of PM, who wants to take every bit of wealth out of this country?
no minster or secretary can do anything to solve this crisis.
