Microsoft and Sindh government have partnered to digitalize the education system in Sindh

Microsoft has signed an Educational Transformation Agreement (ETA) with the School Education and Literacy Department (SELD) and the Sindh Education Foundation, two key government departments in Sindh (SEF).

The agreement is based on Microsoft's Educational Transformation Framework (ETF), which commits Microsoft to digitally reforming education to make it more successful and organized. The partnership aims to improve Sindh's education system by utilizing the full potential of information and communication technologies (ICT) at all levels. Microsoft will collaborate with key stakeholders on a number of workshops, training sessions, webinars, and other cooperative activities as part of this agreement.

"The partnership will prove to be a path for both sides in bridging the gap between education and employability through information Communication technology," said Jibran Jamshad, Country Education Lead at Microsoft Corporation, during the signing of the agreement. He went on to say that Microsoft is already working with numerous educational institutions since it recognizes that Pakistan's education industry requires a significant amount of change in terms of digitalization.

Another important component of this ETA is to assist Sindh's education sector in taking advantage of Microsoft's most recent technologies, such as Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Azure Microsoft teams, among others. Students, faculty, and educators will be able to learn, collaborate, create material, and share resources leveraging the power of Microsoft technologies if they master these abilities. This will allow the education sector to continue operating and performing even in the event of a pandemic.
