Corona virus: Why are there doubts about the data collected for testing for COD 19 disease in Pakistan? June 24 was a difficult day for the provincial capital, Lahore, according to daily statistics from Punjab, the province most affected by coronavirus deaths in Pakistan. In those 24 hours, code-19 disease claimed 55 lives in Lahore, a record so far. In the last five days before June 24, 119 people died of the corona virus in Lahore, an estimated 24 deaths per day. But when the provincial figures for June 25 came out, it was surprising that not a single death had taken place in Lahore. The BBC contacted Mayo Hospital, the largest coronavirus hospital in Lahore, for treatment. According to hospital data, there were three confirmed and five unconfirmed deaths from Code 19 on June 24, two certified and five unconfirmed deaths on June 25, and one confirmed and three unconfirmed deaths on June 26. The reason for collecting the three-day data was to allay fears that deaths after the count de

Education and human development
"I love reading thoughts because it is a joy to find the same ideas that one might have, but expressed in a beautiful way and with such authority by someone I consider wiser."
                                                                                                                                 (Marlene Ditrich)
Introduction
Education and development as a benchmark of life where we learn our greatest abilities, managing to develop our skills, we have education where we learn and develop as individuals, as well as we specialize in some branches such as mathematics, language and among others. But it is more than that and they provide us with values   and morals, thanks to education we are whole and more capable people for a working world that we do not know and we do not learn to know within our lives.

Concept:
When it comes to education, there are many positions that are raised in this regard. Opinions range from those who restrict education to the strictly school environment to those who view education as an eminently human process that, as such, runs through the entire existence of man. Well, here education is understood in its most common sense, that is, as a process of interaction, between the teacher and the student; process in which through dialogue and mutual recognition of each other's humanity, it is possible to build knowledge (This does not mean that the deep meaning of education is lost as a fundamental human experience). 
Traditional education has always considered the student as an empty container, which must be filled with content so that it can make sense and can provide some service. From this conception comes precisely the word student, original from Latin and which translates lack of light, the light that is the metaphor with which knowledge is identified. Traditional education conceives of the formand as someone incapable of intellectually self-help, and therefore dependent on a tutor who "possesses" the authority in knowledge to guide him. This traditionalist conception of education has an impact on society, greater than we can imagine; while this way of educating has been and will continue to be the breeding ground for passive people, who always criticize what they do not like but do not give themselves the task of proposing something new. A traditional education does not generate anything different from people with an excellent memory but generally not very thoughtful about the situations that happen to them in daily life. We see then that education, even when trying to restrict its field of action and impact to what is strictly academic, necessarily transcends the social sphere, and brings with it a whole series of practical considerations.
Characteristics: 
It is characterized by having a variety of classes with respect to itself:

  • Formal education:
Also known as regulated training, it is the correlated comprehensive education process that covers from primary education to secondary education and higher education, and that involves a deliberate and systematic intention that is concertized in an official curriculum, applied with defined calendar and schedule .
Basic formal education:
It is that field of education that is intentional, planned and regulated. Here we are dealing with all the educational offer known as compulsory schooling, from the first years of infant education to the end of secondary education.

Advantage:

  • A study calendar is kept.

  • Themes are planned.

  • Assessments are scheduled.

  • There are dates to meet.

Disadvantages:

  • There is no lost time recovery.
  • There is no feedback on all topics that could not be seen previously.
  • There is no extension for evaluations.
  • It requires a lot of discipline to be able to carry out the activities on the scheduled dates.
  • It takes a long time to make the plans.
It is necessary to have a supervision of the contents that have been taught.

Non-formal education:

Non-formal education is a type of education that will include all the processes and practices that involve a heterogeneous social group, but whose institutional structure does not certify for school cycles, that is, that it has an educational intent and a planning of the teaching process -learning, only that it will take place outside the school environment.
Objectives of non-formal education:

  • Create educational programs that promote attitudes, values, competences and forms of social organization, capable of operating in change and meeting existing needs
  • Create training programs that expand employment opportunities, improve family income and change living conditions.
  • Transmission of basic knowledge and skills for communication and integration of society.
  • The programs are aimed at people different in age, gender, social status, race, etc.

Informal education:

It is a generic term that encompasses, designates, or points to education received outside of traditional educational institutions. This concept refers to the various forms of alternative education, such as:
Deschooling and home education (learning naturally and spontaneously, through personal, regulated experiments, family activities and education, tutoring activities, sports activities, hobbies, travel, reading, social interaction, elective courses, courses eventually taught in formal institutions but which are not part of any study curriculum nor generate any specific diploma or attestation

Objective of education:

Education aims to allow all people to develop all their abilities and talents without distinction, that is, for all people to evolve regardless of their evolutionary, personal, social and cultural characteristics.
One of the primary objectives of education is 
  • To train independent people capable of reasoning for themselves without the help of anyone, capable of solving problems of everyday life facing the difficulties and adversities that life and society pose to us.
  • Encourage the process of structuring thought, creative imagination, forms of personal expression and verbal and graphic communication.
  • Favor the maturation process of children, the playful and aesthetic manifestation, the sports and artistic initiation, the socio-affective growth, and the ethical values.
  • Stimulate habits of social integration, group coexistence, solidarity and cooperation and conservation of the environment.
  • Develop individual creativity.
  • Strengthen the link between the educational institution and the family.
  • Address the physical, psychological and social inequalities originating in biological, nutritional, family and environmental differences through special programs and actions coordinated with other community institutions.

Woman, the founder of human civilization

Woman, the founder of Human Civilization The role that women played in the evolution of human civilization was neglected after the establishment of patriarchy and human history became that of men, but now that history is being rewritten and that source of history must be used. Women's social and cultural activities and their role in shaping civilization are being brought to the fore. In the early days of history, men hunted for food. Women were looking for fruits and herbs. In the process, they learned a great deal about herbs, which are edible, and which are necessary to treat diseases and wounds. This knowledge of women's herbs has been passed down from generation to generation and is still used today in villages, hamlets and towns. Archaeologists have also pointed out that the discovery of agriculture was made by women. He dug the ground with wood and planted seeds in them which came out in the form of plants. When the agrarian society began, they used the same experience to

The world after the coronavirus and the reorganization of fossil capitalism

The world after the coronavirus and the reorganization of fossil capitalism There are many analysts who point out that the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic is a turning point that warns of an epochal mutation and, therefore, a global reconfiguration of current systems of domination and exploitation. Although the virus did not generate the systemic crisis that we are experiencing today, it has made it evident and is probably accelerating it. Among other things, the pandemic has placed greater emphasis on the exhaustion and destructiveness of capitalism with an energy matrix based on fossil fuels. In this sense, there are several interesting meeting points between the virus and climate collapse. In a few months the virus accomplished what seemed unthinkable. Attempts to contain it forced to limit the accelerated exchange of unnecessary goods and the massive movement of human beings, measures that the World Trade Organization (WTO), the promoters of neoliberal globalization and other opponents of stat

Corona virus: Where in the world is code 19 spreading and where is it declining? On June 28, the number of people infected with the corona virus worldwide exceeded 10 million, after which the head of the World Health Organization said that a new and dangerous phase of the fight against the virus has now begun. The spread of the virus has been largely contained in many countries in Western Europe and Asia, but it is also spreading rapidly in many other parts of the world. It took ninety days for one million people to be infected when the corona virus began to spread, but the number increased from nine million to ten million in just eight days, which could give an idea of   the rapid spread of the virus. And an official working in a Latin American country says the situation could get worse because  "we only got this number of people who had their tests done." Where and why are victims growing so fast? The surge is seen in the US continent, South Asia and a few countries in Afri
