Digital Innovation in Education

Digital Innovations | Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training

Digital Content: In response to COVID, M/o FE&PT procured K-12 digital content aligned with SLOs-based National Curriculum. The content, obtained from top ed-tech firms, includes videos and assessments. It was broadcast via PTV TeleSchool during COVID, and is now accessible through the TeleSchool Mobile App and eTaleem Portal.

TeleSchool Mobile Application

Inaugurated by the Prime Minister of Pakistan on 22nd March, 2023, the TeleSchool App hosts 06 Digital TV Channels and a Video on Demand (VOD) learning library. Since launch, 63,750 users have registered — including 9,171 Out-of-School Children. Efforts are ongoing to expand reach and improve usability.

eTaleem Portal

Launched during COVID to ensure learning continuity, the eTaleem Portal initially streamed educational videos through external links. The Ministry later enhanced it with a robust Learning Management System (LMS) and Teacher Training System, offering:

  • Advanced LMS for in-school students.
  • LMS for Out-of-School Children using ALP content.
  • Virtual Teachers Training Institute (VTTI) for online certifications.
  • Offline LMS modules for AJK & GB to support low-connectivity areas.

Smart Classrooms

400 tech-enabled smart classrooms have been established across ICT, AJK, and GB to promote technology-driven learning. These classrooms include smart screens, computers, clickers, and speakers. The eTaleem LMS powers blended learning, while offline modules are being deployed in AJK & GB.

Smart Boards

Interactive smart boards have been introduced in selected schools across underserved districts in all provinces, enhancing classroom engagement through responsive digital interfaces.

Google Partnership

Through a partnership with Google for Education, the Ministry introduced Google Workspace in all FDE schools within ICT. Over 400 teachers are now Google Level 1 Certified. Plans are underway to upgrade to Google Education Plus in 50 schools equipped with modern IT labs.

Project Albus (Centre for Excellence)

In collaboration with Google, a Centre of Excellence was established at IMCG F-6/2, equipping classrooms with Chromebooks, digital tools, and training for teachers and students. The project yielded strong results and was evaluated through a study conducted with NUST.

Blended Learning Pilot Project

Under PSDP, 200 blended learning smart classrooms were created in ICT schools at Primary, Middle, and Secondary levels. These were equipped with smart screens, devices, LMS, and digital content. Although the project has concluded, hardware remains available for integration into future initiatives.

50 IT Labs in ICT Boys’ Schools (Rural)

The Ministry is establishing 50 new IT labs in rural boys’ schools within ICT. Each lab features modern computers, reliable internet, and upgraded infrastructure to deliver 21st-century digital skills. The initiative is scheduled for completion by June 2024.
