He highlighted the program’s importance with the words, “The laptop scheme has truly been a game-changer, leading to sterling success stories.”The image of students engrossed in their laptops is undoubtedly enticing. By 2025, Pakistan needs an additional 200,000 schools and 2.5 million teachers to accommodate approximately 25 million out-of-school children (OOSC). It is perceived that the government is utilizing the Laptop Scheme to capitalize on the youth vote bank and diminish the impact of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on the youth. The extensive advertisements featuring a smiling Shahbaz Sharif on laptop scheme brochures and posters convey a different story, far removed from the ground realities.

pic.twitter.com/So4VnO0cmM — Jacob Infante (@jacobinfante24) July 16, 2023As a Bears fan, I have mixed feelings about Aaron Rodgers‘ departure from Green Bay. I’m glad GM Ryan Poles has been investing in the secondary since arriving in Chicago because Lions wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown is going to be a handful to stop in the years to come. St. Brown, whose full given name is Amon-Ra Julian Heru J. St. Brown, was a Pro Bowler last year who put up 106 catches, 1,161 receiving yards, and 6 touchdowns. He says as much here (via NFL media):“I actually still think about it,” St. Brown said about being the 17th receiver taken in his draft class.

Having observed World Population Day last week, we are reminded of the fact that Pakistan’s population has grown by 70 million over the last two decades, making it the fifth most populous country in the world with a tally of more than 208 million people. Pakistan’s population is currently estimated at 240.5 million and is projected to reach 403 million by 2050. People need to talk about population issues in today’s world of unease and uncertainty. For example, early marriages, early child bearing that is, adolescents giving birth to a child without spacing resulting in too many pregnancies and too early unwanted pregnancies. In today’s world, it is unlikely that any woman would bear 14 children but in Pakistan, it is still happening.

It is crucial to address this escalating threat to ensure the safety and security of the region. Diplomatic dialogue between Pakistan and Afghanistan is vital to establishing clear boundaries and holding each other accountable for any negligence in combating terrorism. Therefore, it is imperative to recognise that tackling terrorism requires concerted efforts from both countries. What might be more helpful is if Pakistan strengthened its internal security measures and eliminated any existing safe havens within its own borders. By establishing a comprehensive framework for collaboration, intelligence sharing, and joint operations, the nations of the region can work towards eradicating the menace of terrorism and ensuring peace and stability.
