Expanding education during population growth can seem like running to stay in the same place. But every child we bring into school is an achievement. We estimate that Punjab, Pakistan had 13 million such achievements over 2 decades. Joint w @Ayesha_T24 blogs.worldbank.org/endpovertyinso…

Probably the hardest one but also might be most rewarding.

Two, demand through voice & vote, in your place of work & your constituency, that our leaders focus on raising collective productivity. For each program-from CPEC to “naya housing”-ask how it will raise productivity, insist this be demonstrated & tested, and changed when needed.

Dress code really doesn’t matter. It is my wish to run a 5K in Islamabad without a single event of ogling. Not likely to ever happen but I still wish. Just wish…

Probing empirical questions related to media issues would require, efforts both from relevant government departments (including information departments) as well as from private channels/media houses to open doors to researchers and improve data-sharing mechanisms. 7/n

Over all this descriptive analysis raises interesting questions about the arbitrariness of media regulation conducted by a seemingly autonomous body under different political regimes. There is very little empirical evidence questions related to media in Pakistan. 6/n
