KARACHI: Pakistan’s educational institutes must digitise on immediate basis to stand at par with other institutes around the globe.
This was the gist of a meeting at the Education Department, University of Karachi, held to digitise its entire library.
Following the meeting, an MoU was signed between Dr. Aziz-un-Nisa, Chairperson of the Department of Education and Mr. Muzzamil Safdar, Head of GSPL Academy in the presence of senior academic and corporate representatives.
The initiative is aimed at enhancing students’ academic and research capabilities, and improve the department’s access to academic resources.
As part of the agreement, Grow Safe — a Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) organisation — donated laptops to the department, and will lead training and awareness programs at the campus to spread awareness on occupational safety and health among the students.
The two sides agreed on the role of public-private collaboration in advancing educational outcomes and fostering innovation in higher education.
