Education is the simple process of learning and knowing. It is not restricted to the schools only. Education starts from the mother’s lap. Parents and family inculcate good manners and make responsible citizens out of their children. Home is called first school of the children, but the formal education starts from the school, where they are taught, how to behave and understand what is going on around them.

Learn the Art of English Essay Writing by Hammad Ahmed (CSS Essay Topper)

English Essay approaches the tricky and dangerous subject from three sides: content, style and structure, making sure that if you are a hardworking student, you will have everything you need to pass.

In CSS, up to 92% candidates pass in all exams, but fail in the English essay, making it the greatest obstacle to your CSS dream. I faced the same fear when I applied for CSS in 2017. I took advice from a lot of people and everyone said different things! It not only became confusing, but made preparation impossible.

GENERAL KNOWLEDGE, PAPER-II (CURRENT AFFAIRS)

Q.8. Critically evaluate the counter terrorism policy of Pakistan and suggest measures to eradicate this evil.


Introduction

The security operation restored the confidence of the global community in the capacity of the Pakistan military to deal effectively with terrorism. This was the main reason that the army chief received extraordinary attention during his visits to the US, the UK and China. This also contributed to changing the security-related interaction between Pakistan’s security establishment and the new Afghan government led by President Ashraf Ghani. These two countries are now involved in a more active cooperative interaction for dealing with security matters, especially counter terrorism.
