The Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training, in collaboration with UNESCO Pakistan, has launched an initiative to enhance digital education for girls in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) and Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) by introducing smart classrooms. This project aims to expand educational opportunities for girls in marginalized communities.
In a meeting chaired by Federal Education Secretary Mohyuddin Ahmad Wani, with senior ministry officials and UNESCO representatives in attendance, it was decided that 80 government girls’ schools would be equipped with advanced IT resources. Secretary Wani highlighted the project’s importance in addressing educational disparities in remote areas, noting that it would bring smart classroom technology to primary-level girls in eight districts across AJK and GB.
The secretary explained that smart classrooms would include interactive tools, digital content, and personalized learning interfaces, allowing students to engage more dynamically with their curriculum. “This integration of advanced tools will provide young girls in these regions with a learning environment that encourages creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving,” he stated.
The initiative also includes a customized teacher training program focused on integrating technology into the classroom. Teachers will be trained to use AI-enabled tools, enhancing the teaching and learning process to maximize student benefits. Wani emphasized that training local educators was essential for a successful transition, enabling them to create an inclusive learning environment that meets the unique needs of primary school girls in AJK and GB.
“This initiative is a valuable gift for girls in these marginalized areas,” Wani said, noting that the new equipment and teacher capacity-building would grant young girls access to quality education, regardless of their location. “It demonstrates our commitment to equitable and inclusive education.”
The deployment of IT resources and teacher training reflects the shared vision of the Ministry of Education and UNESCO for an innovative and inclusive educational system. “These efforts will equip girls in AJK and GB with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in an increasingly digital world,” he added.
