Read my latest story on the incredible #DigitalLearning platform created by  UNICEF Pakistan called Learning Passport and how it is helping to bridge the digital gender divide.

Grateful for education, Ready for Change. I recently read an insightful article in The Nation by Atle Hetland that got me thinking about the privilege of education and the need for change. As we embrace new technologies in learning, it's essential to appreciate the opportunities we've had while recognizing that millions, especially in Pakistan, still lack basic education. The future of education will be more flexible and student-centered, but we must first ensure that every child has access to essential skills. Let’s push for innovative solutions to make education more inclusive and practical. Key Points: - Value the education we've received. -Embrace technology and flexibility in education. -Prioritize access to essential education for all. - Innovate to enroll out-of-school children. -Promote practical learning alongside academics. #Education #EdTech #Inclusivity #FutureOfLearning #eLearning

International Day of Education! Education has the power to transform lives, communities, and even entire nations. It is a tool of empowerment, offering opportunity and hope to those who may otherwise be left behind. On this International Day of Education, let us reflect on how we can harness the power of education to create lasting peace and a more just world in line with this year's theme: learning for lasting peace.. As we know, education is an important tool for human capital development, especially in developing countries. It can provide young people with the skills and knowledge they need to participate in the labor market and contribute to economic growth. It can also empower individuals and communities to break the cycle of poverty, creating a virtuous cycle of growth and prosperity. For example, in countries like India and China, investment in education has been a key driver of economic growth and poverty reduction. In fact, the World Bank estimates that a one percent increase in the average years of schooling in a country can lead to an increase in per capita income of up to 1.2 percent. This highlights the tremendous potential of education to transform lives and improve living standards. With our work at Utidia and the Utidia Apprenticeship Institute (UAI) which are focused on workforce development within the YouthUp Global network, we have been providing individuals with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the workforce, with a particular focus on developing countries; which includes providing access to practical-based training and resources, promoting work-based learning opportunities, and connecting individuals with employers....we are committed to improving quality education in developing countries. I believe that education should be for all and should receive every form of support and funding... building and empowering for a lasting peace. Do something every day to support education! On behalf of my entire community I wish us all a happy International Day of Education. #FaithNwaobia #youthup #utidia #uai #internationaldayofeducation

Literacy is the foundation of all learning, enabling individuals, communities, and societies to thrive. On the International Literacy Day 8th Sep, I want to highlight the educational challenges faced by my hometown, Kotli Sattian, a tehsil in District Murree. Kotli Sattian, nestled in the scenic hills, is a region of breathtaking beauty but also faces profound educational challenges. The rugged terrain and remote villages make access to education difficult, particularly for girls who face considerable barriers to attending school regularly. The literacy rate in Kotli Sattian remains below overall. Gender disparities are stark, with female literacy lagging due to cultural norms, lack of facilities, and safety concerns. The number of out-of-school children is alarming, and the dropout rate is especially high among girls after primary education, largely due to the lack of secondary schools within accessible distances. To address these challenges, I propose the following initiatives: Transportation Services: Establish safe and reliable transport options, such as free school buses or vans, to ensure that girls in remote areas can attend school without facing the risks associated with long distances and the expense of fares. Higher Education Access: Institutions like Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU), Virtual University, and other colleges and universities establish local campuses in Kotli Sattian. These campuses would support distance learning, face-to-face, and online education programs, addressing the reluctance of many families to send their children, especially girls, to other cities for education. Additionally, these campuses would provide essential facilities such as internet access and computer labs, enabling students to fully participate in online classes, submit assignments, and take quizzes without the burden of inadequate home resources. This initiative will also promote and facilitate access to higher education, allowing girls to pursue their studies in the safety and comfort of their homes. By addressing these key areas, we can work towards a brighter future for Kotli Sattian, where every child has the opportunity to learn and thrive. #InternationalLiteracyDay #EducationForAll #KotliSattian #EmpowerGirls #CommunityDevelopment #LiteracyMatters #EducationReform Rana Mashhood Ahmad Khan Maryam Nawaz Sharif Shehbaz Sharif
