Michael Apple,

“...Is very useful and would be of great help for researchers who require further information about this subject”

Prof. Muhammad Ali Shaikh,
Director,
SZABIST,
Center for Information & Research,

“Thank you very much for the wonderful effort. It is a unique contribution in that it combines beauty with knowledge – and makes it affordable!”

Dr. Tariq Rahman,
Professor of Linguistics and South Asian Studies,
Quaid–e–Azam University,
Islamabad, Pakistan

“Congratulations on bringing out a magazine of quality and substance on a subject of great importance. Most of the articles and interviews in the second issue are very informative and thought provoking. The content is highly encouraging, for it can generate debate on issues relating to education. I hope your journal will keep the present standard.”

Dr. Syed Jaffer Ahmed,
Pakistan Studies Center,
Karachi University,
Karachi, Pakistan

“I am happy to learn of your timely initiative to develop a crtical magazine in Pakistan. I believe that, more and more, we need dedicated efforts like yours with the courage to announce new ways of thinking as the world becomes uglier and a more dangerous place. Please do count on my support and future contributions”.

Donaldo Macedo,
Professor of Liberal Arts & Education,
University of Massachusetts, Boston, USA.

“Two things are striking about the recent issue: the Urdu glossaries (farhang) at the end of some articles, and Voice of the Voiceless by Muhummad Khan. These are often the two most left out sections in a magazine. As for the rest of the articles, just one word: great! Keep up the good work!

Abbas Hussain,
Director,
Teachers’ Development Center,
Karachi, Pakistan

“...Opens a whole new world, enriches our thoughts and provides valuable information about issues that are of interest to our local intellectuals. The articles are really interesting, incisive, informative and thought–provoking.”

Mukesh Kumar Mandhan,
Lecturer,
Department of English,
Sindh Agricultural University,
Tandojam, Pakistan

“...Is an excellent and innovative approach and is appreciated by all who read it.”

Prof. Shuja–ul–Mulk,
Chakesar, Shangla,
N.W.F.P, Pakistan

“Firstly, I would like to congratulate Professor Anita and the DPRC team for producing such a unique magazine, which unveils the ‘real meaning’ of development and is an eye–opener for most of the traditional development practitioners. EDucate! provides an opportunity to ‘rethink’ education and development practices to radically shift the paradigm of development, spread new avenues for societal learning and discover the importance of human values and above all social justice. It also provides a ray of hope to all those, who in their capacities, are trying to create awareness for social change and transformation.”

Nooruddin Merchant
Karachi, Pakistan

“In a world awash in fundamentalism – both Eastern and Western varieties – there is now, more than ever, a need for voices of understanding, justice, and peace. EDucate! magazine is such a voice. It asks its readers to question conventional wisdom, to reject rigid adherence to ideology. It encourages the readers to think critically. As a result, it is an island of reason in a global ocean of insanity.”
