What is post secondary education !

Dear friends,

Can someone clarify that in the education system prevailing in our country what level of education would be called as post secondary. Also what level would be called secondary.And is there any level called intermediate also because we do have board of secondary and intermediate education Or just tell what would be someones level if he has done

1. Matric
2. FA / Fsc
3. BA / BSc

Admin, please let it stay for a while until i get the right answer, thanks

Nadeem replied on Thursday, May 12, 2011 03:27 AM PST 

Class 5 (5 years of education) is primary. Matric (Class 10, 10 years of education) is secondary. FA/FSc (Class 12, 12 years of education)is Intermediate. BA/BSc (Class 14, 14 years of education) is graduation. MA/MSc (Class 16, 16 years of education)is post graduation. PhD is doctorate.

Anything after matric is post secondary. Hope this clarifies.

Pakistani replied on Thursday, May 12, 2011 02:30 PM PST 

Secondary is class 8 and 9-10 is HSSC 'higher secondary school certificate'.
FA FSc is freshman.
In past Pakistan's HSSC (9-10) used to be in Urdu medium whereas university education has always been in English, therefore it was helpful for this transition but now all school education is in english therefore FSc is only waste of time for english medium school children.
Those who understands this injustice, they opt. for for cambridge exams, aka 'A' 'O' level etc. and jump to University without wasting time in FSc.

or its must to studu URDU,pakistan studies and islamiat

i searched web but could not get proper reply

limu replied on Thursday, May 12, 2011 04:41 PM PST 

Dear Nadeem,
Is'nt any education after the high school (12) is post secondary !!
If someone asks me to submit post secondary educational certificates / degree, dont you think i must only submit certificates that i have got after my 12. My FA / Fsc certificate should not be included in that !!

majid imran replied on Thursday, May 12, 2011 06:24 PM PST 

you do need to surprise mr SAJJAD'
because what others societies r doing, what bahria did,and now what DHA is doing. peoples lost thier worth buying phase 9/10
files at the rate of 45/47 lakhs and now even no one want to buy them even 15 lakhs, what is going on in LDA avenue, curruption, letigation, fraud bundle of problems,compare eden transfer procedure with others societies far better than others in eden u have to pay only 10 thousands for transfer but others society u have to pay more than 10 thouseand as a bribe and transfer fee is far far ur imagination. compare others facilites , i have also two houses in eden and to be handed over at the end of this year. i have been informed by me cousin that hopefully society in interested to hand over them in nov this year.i understand the delay reason but at least we r not losing our worth as people already loose buying files of dha.so please write on facts and reality rather than on conspiracy.

INFORMED replied on Thursday, May 12, 2011 06:30 PM PST 

In Pakistan
- completing 10th is called Matric / Secondary School Certificate(SSC)
- completing 12th is called Intermediate/FA/FSC / Higher Secondary School Certificate(HSSC).
- completing 14 years is BA. now some universitites also offering 16 yes BA/BSC/BBA.

O level is equivalent to 10th/matric/SSC
A level is equivalent to 12th/FA/FSC/HSSC

INFORMED replied on Thursday, May 12, 2011 06:34 PM PST 

Also note that HSSC/FA/FSC/Intermediate of Pakistan is equivalent to 'High School' of USA/Canada/UK/Australia etc and valid for admission to any university of the world in Bachelors program.

INFORMED replied on Thursday, May 12, 2011 06:41 PM PST 

@Ahmed....... yea ur children will get equivalency for Matric/SSC of Pakistan, if they r doing O-level anywhere in the world; it DOES NOT matter if they do not study urdu, pak studies, islamiat being in a foreign country.

also if they do 'A-level' in any country outside Pakistan without studying urdu, pak studies, islamiat, they will get equivalency for HSSC/FSC/FA/Intermediate of Pakistan.

DO NOT WORRY.

INFORMED replied on Thursday, May 12, 2011 06:47 PM PST 

this is official website of Pakistan govt doing equivalency for those having 9 to 12 years of education outside Pakistan: www.ibcc.edu.pk

limu replied on Friday, May 13, 2011 12:26 AM PST 

Dear INFORMED,

If someone (from abroad any uni or immigration office) asks me to submit post secondary educational certificates / degree, do i need to send my FA / FSc cert also or technically it should be only those degrees / cert that i have received after my FA / FSc.

Amar replied on Friday, May 13, 2011 03:04 AM PST 

Dear Limu,
Your question is good and it is also an attempt to understand our education system. Internationally known standards are below:
Upto Class 4 is Primary
6-8 is Middle
9-12 is Secondary
4 Years after Secondary is Graduation/Bachelor
2 Years after Graduation/Bachelow is Master.
Further to this is PhD and so on.

Anything after secondary would be considered as Post Secondary.
Hope the above clarifies.
Regards,
Amar-Kuwait.

Pakistani replied on Friday, May 13, 2011 10:08 AM PST 

On my 10 class school certificate it WRITES 'Higher Secondary School Certificate' it was issued in 1990.
Class 8 use to be 'Secondary School Certificate' and class 5 use to be 'Primary School Certificate'
FA is freshman of arts and FSc is freshman of science.
BA-MA and BSc-MSc are Bachelor-Masters of arts and science respectively.
Phd are doctrate.

limu replied on Friday, May 13, 2011 06:17 PM PST 

Dear Amar,

perfect, i am absolutely clear.thanks

INFORMED replied on Friday, May 13, 2011 06:25 PM PST 

@Pakistani ..... please recheck ur 10th class certificate, if it is from Pakistan it cannot show HSSC.

@limu ...... generally in education world, post secondary means after 12 years.

HSSC is only used in Pakistan or may be somewhere in sub-continent; in rest of the world normally secondary school means 12th, Amar is right.

Fahdaj replied on Monday, June 27, 2011 02:23 PM PST 

i think Post Secondary means all education you have done after Intermediate
because Post secondary means after secondary education, so it includes all Bachelors Degrees you have

AM i rite?

Eden Gardens Extension Analysis

AOA.

What real estate market says about Eden housing , there level of commitment,quality, sincerity ??


What are the good and bad points regarding this new scheme Eden Gardens Extension.

I am a hard earned employ and never wants to get in trouble by fixing my money.

How do u see it as an investment ??
and if someone has to build a house over it after the possession.?? is it a good place to live with all facilities what eden gardens has been saying to deliver, if they deliver ??

what is the future of this land or society?

i will appreciate ur concerns and suggestions thanking you in advance...

shahid khan replied on Thursday, May 12, 2011 12:42 AM PST 

no doubt it is one of the best
location i have ever seen. committed approach, main ferozepure road, beautiful road, with green belts, near to interchange, and chances of metro stop at maggo matti.prices r reasonable at present, but if interchange built and metro starts in operation then it will be far from facts to buy houses in eden gardens. eden is a relible company apart of its delay problems. but keeping in view its location, price and facilites in near future the delay factor is not so discussable.

An eden effecty replied on Thursday, May 12, 2011 03:10 PM PST 

Hassan,
Before investing with eden keep in mind that you will not get refund if you want. you will get the plot in 7years instead of 3.5 year. this is the eden reputation now a days.

Sajjad replied on Thursday, May 12, 2011 04:22 PM PST 

I am surprized to see reply from Mr Shahid Khan. Is the delay factor not so dicussable?. I got booked a small houses in Eden Gardens, for my living. The houses were suppsoed to be delivered in 2 years. It is more than two and half years now, but the construction progress is hardly 40%. I am afraid this society will take more than two years more. Eden is not completing their ongoing societies, instead they launch a new society every other day.

i do agree with mr shahid khan remarks what he stated in his comments. in facts we people r very impatient and wish to achieve goals according to our wish and desire.edengarden project i think is a landmark of lahore in future. because of its approach, interchange, metro suggested stop. and if ganda singh border open with india for trade then i believe it would be a dream to have an house in eden gardens,

HASSAAN replied on Friday, May 13, 2011 03:03 AM PST 

well guys all of u are ryt at ur footings...

i have visited the site today and i was really surprised and upset to c eden gardens commitment level on ground....now wat happened lets read,


when i met with the marketing represented wearing a kool neck tie sat in kool air conditioned hall....lol it looked all drama frankly (having no substance) i asked him to show layout plan or master plan he said we dont have anything to show....we would show after balloting ....

than when i said about ur LDA approval of land size he said its all most 3000 to 4000 kanal ( he wasnt sure of the real size) as he was sitting to market his product (a fool)..

than he told me that there are two things to book 1) 5 marla plot for 550000 and 2) 5 marla plot for 450000x5=2250000 without development charges.........i was astonished with the later price range...he told me it was for those plots who come just after the eden garden and it is phase 1.....

and the plots which were 550000 (5 marla) are in phase 2

well development charges are 35000/marla and will have to pay after 6 months

well guys the site conditions are very embarrassing....the project which was started 2.5 years back and was committed to deliver in 2.5 years but on ground there is 15-20% progress see the way they deliver ( much embarracing and was a real point to get apart with this new eden garden extension) no link road uptill now even in eden garden and hardly m long boulevard ....in completed houses (trees and plants has been grown up in the in completed houses)...


now tell me after watching all of it on site who wants to fix his hard earned money in such scheme please tell me what should be the best idea ...?

ahmed shahaab replied on Friday, May 13, 2011 04:34 AM PST 

i think u r talking about eden extension but the discussion is focused on eden gardens which is under constructions.and might be handed over this year.

HASSAAN replied on Friday, May 13, 2011 04:02 PM PST 

@ ahmed shahaab..

dear see the title which is focused on eden garden extension..not just eden garden.....and keep this in ur mind without discussing the eden garden status we cannot rush towards eden garden extension...

i was saying in the last post..that they have done nothing in 2.5 years....so now how could they make u believe of there performance for the extension ......

so on ground status of there incomplete houses with no link road..and even if u visit u may not find the any construction machinery or the work force...it seems like they have stopped working...well having said all this it seems its hard to convince someone to fix his money on the extension business...

ahmed shahaab replied on Sunday, May 15, 2011 08:36 PM PST 

dear mr hassan
i think u r going on a wrong way or definately making a mistake, i lives in london, and having full information that structure of houses has been fully completed, and finishing is on its way soon. u should be aware that roads and others works starts after the completation of house, they need machinery for driange and digging purposes so no need of machinery for finishing purposes. pls dont compare eden exten with eden gardens. eden gardens is far best and suitable for those having low budget. i visited pakistan in november and visited this colony.in my view and to the best of my observation this is of course a land mark of future lahore, if ganda singh border open and metro starts to opertate from here, just imagine, what dha did peoples bought
files of phase 9/10 at the rate of 45/47 lakhs and now no one is interested to buy them even in 15 lakhs. what bahria did . at least it nothing with eden apart of its delay problems. make sure no one can offer u a house 2875000/- of 4.6 marla with all amenities and facilites. and even u cannot buy a 4.6 marla plot in dha with this rate. i think the above is clear but if u still in the middle of mixing up then i cannot resovle ur inner intention.

ali11 replied on Monday, May 16, 2011 12:18 AM PST 

No real construction activity at Eden Gardens. For last six months no real development, accept a tiny bit development on water tank.

It is better not to buy in Eden extension, as you might have to wait for another 5 years!!!!! If anyone is too much tempted, perhaps eden lands is better options as almost 2.5 years passed since its launching.

Reg
Location of 408 from very bad location near village Now it is facing Main Bluv of phase 6, But as showing in Map the plots are looking smaller, It is impossible that DHA will be able to squeeze so many Kanal Plots in this strip, There is not much space. Either this strip will Continue eastward on main Blvd to Lahore school of economics or Plots will be smaller?? or will be replaced by small commercial Plots???
To me this is only prospective location of Plot, there are may slips between Cups and lips, the holder should get profit and sell it or Play a gamble.

I am sure P408 is commercial plot and owner of old plot soon will get letter from DHA regarding change in number, they will replace it with similar
location, this happened once with me in other society and they replaced with exactly similar plot but different number.

CMY replied on Thursday, May 12, 2011 04:16 PM PST 

Size of plots looks too small to be one kanal. To me its looks like commercial plots.

CMY replied on Thursday, May 12, 2011 04:23 PM PST 

Today I got some time and looked closely and found out these plots on front are in fact commercial plots. Some numbers in top area are also available in bottom part of map of P block of DHA7 so this area has to be commercial like in past.

P 408 on DHA 6 MB (main road) in fact is a commercial plot and not a residential plot.. So forget about my above post.

Sohaib bhai app ney sweets khillaa de hoti to yeh problum na aati :)

Dear Brothers!
I am living in UAE with my family. We are planning to buy a 10 Marla plot to build a house for living purposes in coming 5 years. What is the best choice - the budget is 2.5 millions for plot and 3 millions for construction?

AG replied on Wednesday, May 11, 2011 09:14 PM PST 

@Aysha Butt,

I am also living, with my family, in UAE since 1978 & all of my children are also working in UAE.
We have build our house on an 8.67 marla corner plot in Ali Block of Bahria Town Lahore.
We chose to build our house in Bahria Town Lahore because,
1. BTL infrastructure is As Good As that of DHA & it is very well
maintained.
2. Security system is very good.
3. Bahria School (Upto A Level) & Akhtar Saeed Medical College are
fully operational & offer quality education.
4. British University in the vicinity of Medical College is in
planning stage.
5. Good shopping Mall & Cinemas are available within the society.

Above all in BTL you feel as if you are in the neat, clean & safe environment of Abu Dhabi or Dubai.

I, therefore, suggest that you go for an 8 marla plot in any one of the Ali, Umer or Usman blocks of Bahria Town Lahore & build a house on it. Your budget is OK for that.

if u are willing to settle in islamabad. then in ur budjet i would advise you to by in dha islamabad phase 1 extn. although its it is more close to pindi and under development. but price is very reasonable. u can buy a 1 kanal plot in less than twenty lac. dont go for phase two extn as its high priced due to greater development charges and will be developed later. in phase 1 extn plots will be handed over in less than a year

Immigration to canada

Dear Friends,
This is not a property related question, but actually i need some advice from people who are already in canada (through immigration). I am working here in uae and earning good money (around $10,000/month tax free). Now I have got immigration to canada (applied long time back). I need to know if it is worth moving to canada considering that there are too many taxes and saving is very difficult. But at the same time when we look at the situation in pakistan, there is very little scope to go back to pakistan and lead a good life (due to so many problems and security issues). I would apprecaite if the friends on this site could give their opinion.

Dear Imran,
What is there to ask?Ask anybody living in Pakstan if they want to immigration to Canada.MY Dear dont think just buy ticket and go to Canada or even Chile, they will say yes..without blinking there eye. In my opinion living a life in Middle East is not worth even you earn 10,000 or 20,000 $ tax free. But even if you live whole life in Middle east in the end of the day you will be returning to Pakistan. And my dear brother situation in Pakistan is not very healthy. Problems are too high. Non Resident Pakistanis find hard to adjust when they come back.
This is my advice rest is up to you. Best of luck.

If you believe that you will find the job in Canada then forget about it. The job market is not as good as USA. People beg for $ 6/hour job. I do not know about your profession so in my opinion, don't resign from your existing job. Just visit canada during your vaccation time to process and secure all the required ID's that includes Social Insutrance No, Driving Licence and Medical Card. I will not suggest you to loose the job and go there to stay. I know several candians working in the middle east because of the poor canadian job market.

Habib replied on Wednesday, May 11, 2011 06:45 PM PST 

10000 is not too great salary in UAE but I dont know your profession, Keep Canada an Option If You are comfortable in UAE keep on Delaying Landing as much as you can then come Back after getting PR Card still You will have 2 ys and Max 3 ys[If You dont go in 3 ys your File will be Cancelled] Earn little More Money in UAE and meanwhile explore Canada May be economy will improve there in few years.
I have two friends in Canada one is well settled and other in Under heavy loan as he Could not get good Job, Both are qualified and experienced engineers, I Know another MBA driving taxi he spend 4 Months in Pakistan and 6 Months In Canada his Family is in Pakistan.
I Know some Doctors in UAE they are getting very good salary and did not go to Canada after getting PR card and hence their File is cancelled.

Ahmed Gujjar replied on Wednesday, May 11, 2011 06:46 PM PST 

That is total true many Canadian come to Middle east for job but they get much higher pay when they have Canadian passport. On one hand a Pakistani Citizen will get pay of 12000$ only but on the other a western Citizen can get double pay for his colour of Passport. Arabs admire westerns. Go to Saudi Arabia on Pakistani Passport whether on Umrah or Work, and let me know how they treat you. On other hand ask one of your relative living in England, who has an ugly face, to travel to Saudi Arabia, and then compare the difference how they treat Western Citizens and Pakistani Citizens. Bottom line is dont lose your immigration chance. Many smart people get immigration and keep on working on there jobs in middle east. But there is no future in Middle East in my vision.

Flex-01 replied on Wednesday, May 11, 2011 06:52 PM PST 

I hold a canadian immigration and working in ME. First, no question about it, get immigration.

Secondly, $ 6 / h job is not difficult to get , as mentioned above. If you are educated and willing to work, you will get a office job ( not labour work or taxi ) to cover your monthly expenses.

Saving is not there. Saving is only in ME. However, as mentinoed by Ahmed above, every one has to leave ME one day. SO in short, my advise is to go on vacation, get your immigration . and then decide whether you want to leave your current job and staty in canada for a couple of years to get citizenship or how to go about it. Age does ont, if you go to canada till late 30s, early 40s , chances are that after struggle fo 1-2 year,s u will end up ni a career job. SO its upto u.

Flex-01 replied on Wednesday, May 11, 2011 06:55 PM PST 

Overall, agree with Ahmed and habib. Just wanted to correct that now adays, there is no major salry difference with a Canadian Passport or pakistnai. it used to be there before. Howeve,r your employment visa is easy, at least in Qatar, as paksitani work visas are not available easily. Also, even with Canadain Passport, your skin and you will stillb e a pakistani, so one does not get a salary benefit.

I had a chance to migrate to the UK, but one of my Britich muslim friends advised me not to do that. You can earn a lot of money in Canada, but you have 1000% chances to spoil your children. If they are with you, they will be spoiled because of the system and environment. If they are not with you, they will be spoiled living without you. Make a cluster to number things you like or prefer in your life. We like many things, but we don't prefer them for us. My brother think about: 1. What do you want to do in your life? 2. Why do you want to do that? 3. If you do that, then what? 4. If you can't do that, then what? 5. What do you like for your kids and why? 6. What is better for them for the future here in the world and for the future of hereafter.
I am writing all this because: The Holy Phrophet (PBUH} said that consultation [mashwarah] brings 2 rewards if successful, but only 1 if it is unsuccessful and that is because of the good intention of the person whom you consult. May Allah help you take the right decision!

Dear All,
many thanks for your advice,
Regarding getting a job there, i have many friends in oil and gas industry over there and i even had a telephonic job interview. So most probably i will get the job of an engineer over there (similar to my existing job but with less salary and more taxes). Amjad KSA has rightly pointed to an important point, that it is almost impossible over there to avoid getting your kids spoilt. I went over there for one week and got my PR card, but now i need to finalize if i need to go there leaving this job or get the PR card cancelled.

Jameel replied on Wednesday, May 11, 2011 10:22 PM PST 

Imran please Correct me 10K Lump sum salary In UAE? And you are telling that you are experienced Pertrollium engineer, I Think your salary must be about 20 to 40K, may be saving is 10 K

Imran uae replied on Wednesday, May 11, 2011 10:35 PM PST 

Dear jameel it is 10000 dollars, not 10000 dirhams.

Ahmed Gujjar replied on Wednesday, May 11, 2011 11:08 PM PST 

Amjad Ksa- I dont believe that one can only get spolied in Canada or Usa. Come on be realistic if a child is going to get spoiled he or she can get spoiled in Ksa or Pakistan or even inn any Muslim country. Look at the young generation of Pakistan. And apart from that Dubai is also famous for several things. There are good and bad things of every society/country. We Pakistanis always mock and talk negative about the West even though its our die-hard fantasy to move there. The new generation of the Pakistan is already 2 hands advanced then the West.

Dear All,
Thanks once again for your valuable comments.
@kuwaiti munda: bhai jaan mein ne pakistan ko kabhi bura nahin kaha, lekin mein so baar pakistan ki government ko bura kahoon ga kyonke woh buri hai balkay dictionary mein itni buri cheez kay liye koi word nahin hai :)

CS replied on Thursday, May 12, 2011 04:40 PM PST 

@ Imran,
If you want a secure living with assurance and guarantee that you may stay for lifetime, then apply for Singapore PR.
Here you will find good jobs, salary, and mixture of eastern and western culture.
There are pretty less chances that your kids may spoil here , as Singapore has big Muslim community (Indian and Malyaisan) , halal food everywhere and mosques in every town

CS replied on Thursday, May 12, 2011 04:44 PM PST 

Furthermore, the salary is taxable but not heavily like US or Canada.
Tax is applied subject to your salary bracket and also is not linearly applied to whole salary but progressively.

What about parents visa for those who have PR card. Is it possible to keep your parents with you over there permanently (like uae) or they can just come for a shore visit.

Mohsin replied on Thursday, May 12, 2011 07:48 PM PST 

@Imran UAE and all,

I am living in UAE and working as Planning and Control Engineer in Sharjah. I think UAE is 2nd to Pakistan as choice of living. I think all of us should not be afraid of anything. Having Pakistani passport is not something to be ashamed of. Its your personality which defines how you should be treated not your passport.
I am of the opinion that there is great saving in UAE - getting job here settles one for lifetime. You can achieve all your life's goals within few years of stay here. Home in Pakistan, Car, good education for kids and good life style. Pakistan is just 1 Hr 30 mins from here. You can attend all your ceremonies in Pakistan and attend your relatives well. Whereas in Canada, theres alot of struggle. Unless you are from Oil and Gas field and have some working experience abroad (like in UAE)- they do not even consider you. Other fields like Business, IT, etc have tough time in the beginning.If you call your parents to Canada then your other siblings will long for them in their absence.

Last bu not the least, please have firm belief in God and faith. We just cannot control every aspect of our lives. Allah provides the rizq whether your in UAE, Canada or Pakistan. Please understand that people living abroad have to sacrifice alot. I must state an example here. My brother was in UK for 2.5 years and he could only come to Pakistan to attend funeral of our father. The life is not all about earning :)its beyond that :)

Isloo replied on Friday, May 13, 2011 01:27 AM PST 

Dear Imran, the whole point of going to Canada is to get a passport in 3-4 years time, its not the saving, you MUST go and retain your PR first of all, do not leave your current job, You can work for 2-3 Years in UAE without having to go to Canada permanently, keep on trying for a job online or pay visits in Summers...You can get admission in a good UNI for a MS course and work partime as well,,point is that get the second passport for which you have been waiting, If you have good links in UAE, you will again get this job...Remember that people in Libya, Bahrain, and Tunis were well settled but what happened....And about kids,, they wont be spoilt in 3-4 years,,,Also,, immigration is getting difficult day by day,,,few profession remain in Canada,,,UK is nearly closed and Australia changing too quickly,,,I would say,,,you must go and land atleast,,,and you have next three years to analyze,
