The Single National Curriculum (SNC) has been approved and made functional in the country for students from Grade 1 through 5. One system of Education for all, in terms of curriculum, medium of instruction, and a common platform of assessment so that all children have fair and equal opportunities when it comes to receiving a high-quality education.

    Electoral reforms:

    Electoral reforms, electronic voting, and the voting process for overseas Pakistanis have been major projects spearheaded by PTI. The party has successfully launched electronic voting to aid the process of having smooth and transparent elections.

    Areeba, Mathira shun Bilal Maqsood for slamming Junaid Safdar’s wedding, Ghana supports him

    PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz, and Captain Muhammad Safdar Awan’s son Junaid Safdar married Ayesha Saif Khan in London on Sunday in a lavish ceremony. The duo tied the knot at The Lanesborough, a 5-star hotel in Knightsbridge.

    Although they hired a professional singer, Navin Kundra, who enthralled the audience with his songs, he asked Junaid to sing a song.

    Junaid impressed the guests with his singing skills, especially his wife Ayesha by crooning the chartbuster song, Kya Hua Tera Waada from the hit Bollywood film Hum Kisi Se Kam Nahi starring Rishi Kapoor.

    Singer Bilal Maqsood was quick to comment on social media that the decoration at Junaid Safdar’s wedding is from his tax money.

    Taking to Instagram stories, the Dhaani singer wrote: “Some of the flowers in the background might be from my tax money. But I have to give this guy full marks for his singing.”

    Female stars, Areeba Habib and Mathira were quick to condemn this statement citing that it’s a moment of happiness for Junaid’s family and it shouldn’t be dampened.

    They also appreciated his singing skills with multiple comments.

    Sun Yaara star Ghana Ali supported Bilal amidst the backlash and mentioned that ‘usko sub jaiz hai’.

    Video of bear stealing Amazon package from porch goes viral

    A woman in the United States posted a video on social media showing a bear stealing her parcel from Amazon.

    Kristin Levine of Bristol shared a home surveillance video on Facebook on Monday, showing the bear sauntering across her driveway with the package in its mouth.

    “Yea so if anyone sees an Amazon package in the Chippens Hill area with my name on it…feel free to bring it back?” Levine wrote in her post.

    Levine told NBC she received an alert from her security system about five minutes after Amazon delivered the package on the door and was “taken aback because I wasn’t expecting anyone else in my driveway.”

    The bear, she said, ended up dropping off the parcel in a neighbour’s yard. It was apparently not interested in the contents: several rolls of toilet paper, she said.

    “It was hysterical like I said, I knew nothing in there was going to be irreplaceable so it was a fun afternoon for sure,” Levine said.
