Abstract Pre-school education is offered in the government primary schools of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Pakistan. Very little attention is given to the pre-school aged children in these schools. Therefore, this study was carried on to explore teaching activities and facilities for Pre-school Children in district Karak. The objectives of the study were to explore the availability of teaching facilities and to investigate teachers’ teaching activities while teaching pre-school children in the government primary schools. The population of the study were all the 438 head teachers of government primary schools for boys of district Karak, KP,Pakistan. Total 216 head teachers were selected as sample through proportionate cluster random sampling technique. The study was descriptive and survey method was adopted. Self-developed questionnaire was used for the collection of data. Data was analyzed through descriptive statistics and the use of Chi Square (X2) test. Non availability of Audio-Visual (AV) aids, unavailability of specialized teachers and the absence of separate classroom for preschool children were major findings of the study. Ensuring of AV aids, construction of additional classroom, recruitment of specialized preschool teachers and arrangement of refresher courses for teachers of preschool children are the major recommendations of the study.

Covid 19 outbreak has its considerable effects on whole education system. Due to forced school closure many students have left schools. This study was conducted to check the influence of digital technologies on early childhood education during covid-19. Data were collected through convenience sampling technique. Respondents of this study were consisting on twenty teachers and head teachers of public and private schools of early childhood education. Data were collected through audio and written interviews. The findings of this study revealed that a number of ways were adopted effectively to transmit education to children at their home i.e. online Google classrooms and live sessions in Whatsapp groups, and Google meet/zoom, Blended learning system (LMS), skype.com, youtube.com, Go to meeting.com, Blacknoard.com, Zoom etc. Some challenges were also found in this study such as internet access issue, electricity issue, lack of technological equipment’s (laptop/ smart phones) lake of students’ attention, less skills to use technology that leads towards inefficient teaching at ECE level. It created difficulties for teacher, parent and students. A more interactive system of teaching to facilitate learning at early childhood level may be developed with all needs to be filled easily. Further online sessions may be organized to give awareness and knowledge about the use of technology and digital skills to parents and teachers with low level of digital literacy.

新冠肺炎疫情对整个教育系统产生了相当大的影响。由于学校被迫关闭,许多学生离开了学校。本研究旨在检验covid-19期间数字技术对幼儿教育的影响。采用方便抽样法采集数据。本研究的调查对象为20名公立及私立幼儿教育学校的教师及校长。通过音频和书面采访收集数据。这项研究的结果显示,有效地采用了多种方式向儿童在家中进行教育,即在线谷歌教室和Whatsapp群组中的实时会议,以及谷歌meet/zoom,混合学习系统(LMS), skype.com, youtube.com, Go to meeting.com, blackknoard.com, zoom等。本研究还发现了一些挑战,如互联网接入问题,电力问题,缺乏技术设备(笔记本电脑/智能手机),缺乏学生的注意力,缺乏使用技术的技能,导致欧洲经委会水平的教学效率低下。这给老师、家长和学生都带来了困难。可以开发一种互动性更强的教学系统,以促进幼儿阶段的学习,所有需求都可以很容易地得到满足。可以组织进一步的在线会议,向数字素养水平较低的家长和教师提供有关使用技术和数字技能的认识和知识。关键词:技术工具,数字技能,幼儿教育,数字素养,COVID-19

The study is about parental involvement in quality of teaching at pre- education level (PG to Class2). The aim of this research was to explore the effect of parents’ role in the enhancement of quality of teaching at Montessori level. This research study was descriptive in nature. Parents and teachers of students studying in Lahore city were the target population of the study. Two hundred parents and one hundred students of PG to class 2, from ten public and ten private primary schools were sample of the study. The survey method was used for data collection. It has been found out that parents are facing challenges and difficulties in rearing of child in current era. Study has witnessed a long gap in students’ achievement due to less parents’ support in classroom guidance provided to their kids at preschool level. Findings of this study show that teaching quality and learning level of student is directly correlated with scales from the parental involvement. Evidence based research in this literature review indicated that those preschool approaches are more successful that have focus on role of parents along with the teacher.

This research study pertaining to the effects of Parents-Children Communication on the academic performance of the children was carried out across the Southern Punjab. The researcher observed at various stances that Parent-Children Communication was taken as granted by the parents and its consequences were not bothered. This research investigated the relationship between Parental-Children Communication, Gender, and Academic performance of the children. The Emotional Security Theory (EST) developed by Cummings and Davies (2006) and Social Learning Theory posed by Albert Bandura (1974) were applied to the study. of 6th grade. All children living in Southern Punjab and their parents were considered as population of the study. The researcher used multistage sampling technique. The researcher took a balanced sample comprised of 1000 male and female children. SPSS version-25 was used for data analysis. The study revealed that friendly Parent-Children Communication was positively associated with progress in academic performance whereas unfriendly Parent-Children Communication was negatively associated with progress in the academic performance. Furthermore male children were found more sensitized to unfriendly Parent-Children Communication than the female children as academic performance of female children were found higher than their counterparts.

This paper was aimed to examine the factors affecting enrollment in early childhood education in Punjab, Pakistan. The objectives of this paper were to find out the effect of early childhood education on enrollment in Punjab and to observe the implementations of early childhood education methodology in early childhood school. There were three categories of the literacy rate highest (47.4% to 70.5%), middle9 36.8% to 47%) and lowest (20.7 % to 36%) in Punjab. Stratified random sampling techniques were used and strata were made concerning the literacy rate. One district choose form each category of the literacy rate. 25 school heads were taken as a sample from each region. It was concluded from the results of the respondents that multiple factors affect the enrollments in these schools. It was recommended from the conclusions that the government of Punjab may provide facilities (classroom, instructional materials, and equipment) for enhancing enrollment at the primary level in Punjab.
