Please!!!!! In the favour of poor teachers

Federal Government of Pakistan owns Basic Education Community Schools Project.  There are about 6500 teachers working and 200,000 children of 5-14 are enrolled in this project. About 90% of teachers are female and were getting $30 t0 40 per month. Before the 18th amendment, this project continued under the supervision of National Education Foundation. After the 18th amendment, this project was terminated by the Federal Government but the provinces were not ready to accept this project. After the protest of teachers in Islamabad in June 2011 Supreme Court of Pakistan restored this project. In June 2012, this project got the independence from NEF and it was recognized as Basic Education Community Schools Project under a new ministry. Although it is initially approved by Planning Commission of Pakistan, yet it is waiting for final approval of ECNIC. Although management staff is getting their salaries regularly yet  teachers have not been getting their salaries since July 2012. How they have to manage their both ends meet? One can imagine easily.

Where is the Problem?
Ø      Mr. Ishaq Dar finance minister of Pakistan and Chairman of ECNIC.
Ø      Mr.Ahsan Iqbal minister planning, it is his duty to get the final approval of this project from ECNIC and make them release the funds for the project.
Ø      Mr. Waqar Ahmad, secretary finance Islamabad.
Ø      Mr. Hassan Nawaz Tarar secretary planning Islamabad, he is the main obstacle in the way of release of funds.
I request you to use your influence for final approval of this project, in the favor of poor teachers.

A Suggestion to Improve the Speed of PTCL EVO Broadband

Use of internet in Pakistan is increasing day by day. Majority of youngsters are enjoying “Uploading and Downloading” by their mobile phones. In big cities, computers were connected to PTCL landlines to use internet and still a majority of users in big cities, is using landlines. However, in small cities, towns and in remote villages where landlines were not present, PTCL vwireless was a big source of internet usage. Now EVO Broadband Wireless is replacing vwireless rapidly. Although it needs an antenna to get a better signal strength, yet it is satisfactory.
Vwireless has a speed up to 230.5 kbps but EVO Broadband has a speed up to 3.1 mbps(in Hybrid mode). Although EVO Broadband is a high-speed internet device yet sometimes it seems, it is even slower than vwireless (in CDMA Mode). In the case of vwireless, we could check the speed easily through its Status but when EVO is connected, it is a little difficult for a new user to check the speed. Speed and Graph that are being displayed in the statistics of EVO Display are not fully helpful.

There are many solution of this problem but I suggest a single.  Go to Start>Control Panel>Network and Internet Connections>Network Connections>Local Area Connection.

Now click the right mouse button on the Icon.
A drop down, like this, will appear:

Disable

Status

Repair

                    Bridge connections

               Create Shortcut

Delete

  Rename

      Properties

Now, first, check the status of your connection: Status>General. If it shows the speed 3.1kbps then it is ok and your connection is working properly. However, if it shows the speed 153.6kbps then it is limited. Come out of the Local Area Connection Status window and again click the right and click on Repair, Microsoft Windows will take some actions and after finishing it will give the following message:

Windows finished repairing your connection. You can try connection again.

If the problem persists, contact the person who manages your network.

Now remove your EVO USB form the port of your computer and Refresh your computer with F5. Again, plug in the EVO with your PC and connect it and check its Status through Start>Control Panel>Network and Internet Connections>Network Connections>Local Area Connection.
I hope, it will be showing 3.1 kbps speed. If the problem persists then try again.

  6. Click OK.
  7. Select Use the following DNS server addresses. If there are any IP addresses listed in the Preferred DNS server or Alternate DNS server, write them down for future reference.
  8. Replace those addresses with the IP addresses of the Google DNS servers:
    • For IPv4: 8.8.8.8 and/or 8.8.4.4.
    • For IPv6: 2001:4860:4860::8888 and/or 2001:4860:4860::8844
  9. Restart the connection you selected in step 3.
  10. Test that your setup is working correctly; see Testing your new settings below.
  11. Repeat the procedure for additional network connections you want to change.
I hope this article will be helpful to you.
