This research analyzed and compared administrators' supervisory and teachers' pedagogical skills concerning quality education in Public and Punjab Education Foundation Funded Schools at the secondary level, in line with the Vision of Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG-4) by 2025 (Minimum Standards for Quality Education in Pakistan, 2016). The research employed a descriptive method and adopted a quantitative approach. For this study, 248 head teachers were selected from public schools and 126 from Punjab Education Foundation Funded Schools via simple random sampling, making a total sample of 374 respondents. Data were collected using a five-response Likert scale and analyzed with SPSS, including mean, standard deviation, t-test, and f-test to assess the difference between administrators' supervisory and teachers' pedagogical skills towards quality education in both school types. The study concluded that administrators in public secondary schools exhibited better academic and professional qualifications and that both administrators' supervision and teachers' pedagogical skills were superior in public schools. Additionally, public schools were more aligned with the Minimum Quality Standards for Schooling to meet the vision of Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG-4) by 2025 for quality education compared to Punjab Education Foundation Funded Schools. It is recommended that the heads of Punjab Education Foundation-funded schools enhance their supervisory skills, while teachers should improve their pedagogical skills to align with the vision of Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG-4) by 2025.

Extracurricular activities (ECAs) play a vital role in shaping students’ lives. These activities have been embedded in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to complement the curriculum, and augment students’ educational experience. In addition, they are organized to stimulate students’ interpersonal skills, such as leadership, time-management, and communication skills. This paper aims to explore the perceptions of General Foundation Programme (GFP) students regarding the extracurricular activities (ECA) organized by the Centre for Foundation Studies (CFS) of an Omani HEI. It also aims to investigate the role of these activities in enhancing students’ English language proficiency and transferable skills. A survey questionnaire was used to collect students’ perceptions of extracurricular activities. The results indicate that more than 70% of students participating in this study are satisfied with the ECA. Moreover, the participants in this study claimed that participation in ECAs has supported their academic performance and helped them develop their transferable skills. 30% of the participants showed disinterest in participating in extracurricular activities due to the absence of motivation, being in mixed classes, and the fact that no grades are awarded for these activities. This study was conducted on a small population of GFP students; however, it has important implications for education providers in terms of designing extracurricular activities in line with the learning outcomes and student interests. Future studies conducted on larger populations will yield more concrete results.

A full understanding of mental health can improve people’s ability to identify mental diseases and cope with psychological problems, so as to improve the ability of the whole community to resist mental diseases. Community health education is particularly important in community mental health service. The traditional health education mode is carried out through lectures or paper brochures, and the effect is not significant, so we need to constantly improve the health education mode. Through the development of community mental health education and service, we can improve people’s mental health quality and promote family happiness and social stability. Based on this, this study mainly analyzes the relationship between community sports activities and mental health of community residents. Physical exercise can reduce stress reaction, regulate emotion, enhance mental health, prevent, and treat mental diseases. Therefore, physical exercise has been used not only as a method to enhance physical fitness but also as an important means to regulate psychology.
