The education sector in Islamabad is preparing to introduce computer and artificial intelligence (AI) classes in 150 primary schools next week. These schools fall under the Federal Directorate of Education.
The goal of this initiative is to provide young students with important technology skills, helping them prepare for the digital world they will face as they grow up.
This program is the result of a joint effort between the Ministry of Federal Education and the National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST). Together, they have created a modern and practical curriculum for these classes.
The lessons will be taught by specially trained computer instructors, who are well-equipped to guide students in understanding the basics of computers and AI.
To make sure that the curriculum is both up-to-date and engaging, it was developed with input from some of the top technology companies. The focus is on teaching students foundational skills, such as how to use computers, while also introducing them to basic concepts of AI.
The material is designed to capture the interest of young learners and make technology accessible to them from an early age.
In addition to the new classes, the IT infrastructure in these schools will be upgraded. This means that students will have access to the latest technology and resources, such as modern computers and software, to help them learn effectively.
The improved infrastructure will ensure that the students can practice what they learn in a real-world setting, giving them a strong foundation in tech skills as they move forward in their education. This initiative is seen as a big step towards preparing the next generation for a rapidly changing, tech-driven future.
