DILse, an AI powered English fluency tutor developed by DIL, has been named to the Top 25 shortlist for the 2026 Global EdTech Prize in the Non-Profit category. The recognition places DIL alongside other organizations from around the world working on technology enabled solutions in teaching and learning, as part of the broader prize process run by T4 Education.
DILse is designed to help students improve their spoken English skills through an AI driven speak and engage format, aimed at giving learners more consistent opportunities to practice conversational fluency. The tool reflects DIL’s broader focus on developing technology enabled solutions intended to expand educational access and opportunity for students across Pakistan, particularly in underserved communities where DIL has historically concentrated its education programs.
The Global EdTech Prize shortlist recognizes a range of organizations working on innovative approaches to education technology across different regions and categories, with the Non-Profit category specifically highlighting organizations working outside a purely commercial model. DIL credited its educators, students, partners, donors, and volunteers for contributing to the recognition, describing it as a reflection of the organization’s sustained commitment to expanding educational opportunities through technology.
The shortlisting adds to a growing number of Pakistani education technology initiatives that have drawn international recognition in recent years, as AI powered tools increasingly find application in addressing longstanding gaps in language learning and educational access across the country. With the competition now moving to its next stage, DIL’s continued participation in the Global EdTech Prize process reflects the growing visibility of Pakistan based organizations building AI driven solutions aimed at improving educational outcomes both domestically and on the international stage.
