The project will benefit 266,000 students while curriculum development, rehabilitation of labs, digital school management system, and 3,584 teachers will be trained in the use of modern technology. According to the details, a plan is being launched to digitize more than 1600 schools across the country, under which old tablets and mobile phones used in these educational institutions will also be replaced so that school management can be given to the management of TCF which will help to run the application and collect data efficiently.

The project will run for three years, during which curriculum assistance, computer lab maintenance and a digital school management system will be introduced. With the restoration of existing computer labs and audio and video classrooms, TCF will introduce a modern curriculum of digital education.

Speaking on occasion, TCF President and Chief Executive Officer Syed Asad Ayub Ahmed said that access to modern education is a fundamental right of every child in this 21st century. We have been experimenting with ways to use technology in the teaching process for many years. Jazz has provided our support at the right time as we will now be able to transfer education to technology in Pakistan.
