Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training has announced plans to introduce Coding, Artificial Intelligence, and Cybersecurity Education at the primary school level in public schools. This initiative aims to equip young students with the necessary technological skills for the future.
The program will initially be implemented in FDE (Federal Directorate of Education) schools, ensuring a wider reach in the nation’s capital. By introducing these subjects early, students will develop a strong foundation in digital literacy and prepare for emerging career opportunities in technology and related fields.
A team of 75 Tech Fellows, trained by NUST (National University of Sciences and Technology), will provide training to primary school students across 150 schools. The focus areas of training include pedagogy for primary school students, coding fundamentals, lesson planning and delivery, and classroom management.
This initiative is expected to contribute to the long-term growth of Pakistan’s technology sector by fostering early-age tech literacy and enhancing problem-solving and critical thinking skills among young students.
