AFAIK, no. and yes, marching is overrated :mad:

I dunno I only watched from a distance the high school kids doing it. Seemed pretty pathetic to me. I honestly don't know why they would do something like that. I've always wondered if kids need an extra 20 points or credits then why don't have schools implement a policy of voluntary work with Edhi Foundation or Ansar Burney Trust or any other voluntary organisation. I find Pakistani school kids wayy too narrow minded for their own good, from any end of the spectrum. At least this way they'll get to live out of their cocoon and maybe learn to understand if not empathise with the society they'll live in when they grow up.

Also alot more vocational training is needed too, whether in traditional fields or elsewhere. Get rid of the education fads.
