Karachi, 25th August 2022: After successfully piloting the digital transformation of schools in other provinces, Tech Valley Pakistan has joined hands with the Sindh Education and Literacy Department, which comes under the jurisdiction of the Government of Sindh. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed between CEO Tech Valley, Umar Farooq, and Secretary Education and Literacy Department Sindh, Ghulam Akbar Laghari.
As part of the digitization of schools, Tech Valley Pakistan, a country partner of Google for Education, will incorporate Google’s digital learning tools in the schools of Karachi to make learning more fun and interactive.

Secretary Education and Literacy Department Sindh, Ghulam Akbar Laghari, highly encouraged the idea of adding value to the existing education system of Sindh and said, “COVID-19 taught us how important it is to implement digital technology in the education system. Now is the right time to equip our local schools as well. My team and I are excited about this pilot program and hope to expand it further.”
Under this digitization project, teachers and IT staff will also be trained on the Google for Education tools to leverage the technology to improve the teaching and learning process of the schools. The selected schools' infrastructure will also be modernized and enhanced with Chrome OS Flex, a cloud-first, fast, easy-to-manage, and secure operating system.
CEO Tech Valley Umar Farooq mentioned, “InshaAllah, with this program, we would be able to see all of the Google for Education tools and the complete digital ecosystem operating in schools of Karachi. Through this pilot program, we will also be able to comprehend Karachi's local challenges and dynamics.”
