PASHA Startups and Entrepreneurship Committee has announced an upcoming webinar focused on the role of entrepreneurial thinking in early education, aimed specifically at parents of school going children. Titled “Raising Builders: Why Entrepreneurial Thinking Must Start in School,” the session is scheduled to take place on Thursday, December 18, 2025, at 03:00 PM Pakistan Time. The webinar will feature Idrees Butt, Founder and CEO of RLTSquare, who will share insights on how education models can better prepare children for a rapidly changing digital and innovation driven world.
The session is designed around the idea that traditional education pathways on their own are increasingly insufficient to equip students with the skills needed for future careers. As technology adoption accelerates and industries evolve, skills such as problem solving, creativity, adaptability, and basic understanding of artificial intelligence are becoming essential at a much earlier age. The webinar will explore how early exposure to entrepreneurial thinking can help children develop a builder mindset, encouraging them to identify problems, think critically, and design practical solutions rather than relying solely on rote learning or exam focused outcomes.
According to PASHA, the discussion will also highlight how parents can play a more active role in nurturing curiosity and innovation at home and in collaboration with schools. Idrees Butt is expected to share real world perspectives from his experience in building and scaling technology driven initiatives, offering examples of how structured exposure to entrepreneurship, technology tools, and AI literacy can positively influence a child’s confidence and learning trajectory. The webinar aims to bridge the gap between formal schooling and the skills demanded by modern workplaces, while also addressing common concerns parents have about balancing academics with creative and technical exploration.
The initiative reflects PASHA’s broader focus on strengthening Pakistan’s startup and innovation ecosystem by starting talent development at an early stage. By engaging parents directly, the committee aims to create awareness around long term skill building rather than short term academic milestones. The session will also touch upon how global education trends are shifting toward interdisciplinary learning, where business thinking, technology awareness, and social problem solving are integrated into school level education. Such exposure, the organizers believe, can help students make more informed career choices and become active contributors to the digital economy over time.
Registration for the webinar is open to interested participants, with a deadline set for December 18, 2025, at 10:00 AM Pakistan Time. Parents and educators can register through the official link. The webinar is expected to attract participants from across the country who are interested in understanding how entrepreneurial education, combined with foundational AI literacy, can support children in navigating future academic and professional pathways within Pakistan’s growing technology and startup landscape.
