In a major push towards digital learning, the Punjab School Education Department has partnered with Tech Valley UK and Canada to provide Chromebooks and IT training to 200 schools across the province.
The agreement, signed by Education Minister Rana Sikandar Hayat, aims to equip both students and teachers with the necessary skills to thrive in the digital age. This initiative includes providing Chromebooks to the schools and offering IT training to 10,000 students and teachers, with the support of Google for Education.
This collaboration is seen as a significant step towards achieving the vision of a “Digital Punjab,” where technology plays a central role in education. Minister Hayat emphasized the importance of the program, stating that it will allow students to integrate IT skills alongside traditional subjects like science and arts during their matriculation and intermediate studies.
This program highlights the Punjab government’s commitment to improving the province’s educational landscape by equipping its youth with vital digital skills for the future workforce.
