Transforming Pakistan’s Education with AI

The EduAI Pakistan Initiative is a national effort designed around the three core pillars of any education system: curriculum developers, textbook authors, and teachers. The initiative strengthens the entire education pipeline by integrating Artificial Intelligence into what to teach, how to teach, and where learning happens. Through a comprehensive AI Training Manual, targeted capacity-building

Target group
EduAI Initiative Pakistan aims to create a fundamental shift in how Pakistan’s education system understands, designs, and delivers learning in an AI-driven world. The change we hope to see is a transition from fragmented, teacher-only training towards a system-wide, future-ready ecosystem where curriculum developers, textbook writers, and teachers are all equally empowered with AI literacy.

About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

EduAI Initiative Pakistan was created to address a major systemic gap in Pakistan’s transition toward AI-enabled education. Most capacity-building efforts focus only on teachers, while curriculum developers and textbook writers remain excluded. Without strengthening all three core actors together, AI cannot be meaningfully integrated into what is designed, written, and taught.

This innovation introduces a holistic, research-driven model that begins with global insights and local needs. It builds capacity across curriculum development, textbook writing, and classroom teaching simultaneously. By empowering all these groups with AI literacy, safe-use guidelines, and practical tools, the initiative ensures a coherent, future-ready education system aligned with national priorities and global trends.

What does your innovation look like in practice?

EduAI Initiative Pakistan is innovative because it uses a structured, evidence-based methodology rather than ad-hoc training. The process includes:

Global insight gathering through the “AI Hundred Minds” exercise, engaging AI experts from around the world to collect global lessons, challenges, and best practices.

A national survey targeting teachers, curriculum developers, and textbook writers to identify the current status, capacity gaps, readiness levels, and contextual needs.

Content development informed by both global insights and national evidence, ensuring that the AI Training Manual and toolkits are research-based, context-sensitive, and aligned with real gaps on the ground.

In practice, the initiative provides training manuals, workshops, master-trainer sessions, ethical guidelines, sample lesson plans, and AI-supported pedagogical tools. It strengthens the full education value chain curriculum, textbooks, and classroom practice in a coordinated way.

How has it been spreading?

The initiative has gained traction because institutions recognise its rigorous, research-led, and system-wide design. Engagement with curriculum councils, textbook boards, universities, and teacher training bodies has accelerated adoption. The use of global expert input and national data strengthens credibility, making policymakers and stakeholders more willing to scale it.

Through webinars, consultations, workshops, and partnerships with national and international organisations (including UNESCO networks), the model is being adopted by more institutions. Word-of-mouth, research outputs, and visibility through professional networks are helping it spread organically and formally.

How have you modified or added to your innovation?

Practical templates, worksheets, and case studies continue to evolve as more data is collected and more educators participate.

If I want to try it, what should I do?

To adopt the EduAI Initiative Pakistan model, institutions can begin by accessing the AI Training Manual . The initiative offers partnerships, pilot opportunities, and consultation support to help organisations introduce AI in a safe, ethical, and research-backed manner.

Implementation steps

international expert input (AI Hundred Minds)
What to do: Invite or consult AI and education experts worldwide to share lessons, frameworks, risks, and best practices (surveys, interviews, roundtables). Output: Compiled expert insights report (“AI Hundred Minds” summary).
Document analysis & synthesis
What to do: Review national curricula, existing teacher training materials, textbooks, policy documents and the international insights report. Identify alignment points, gaps, and opportunities for AI integration. Output: Document analysis report with mapped gaps and recommendations.
Assess local needs (national survey + stakeholder consultations)
What to do: Conduct surveys and focused consultations with teachers, curriculum developers, textbook writers, and provincial stakeholders to measure current capacity, resources, and constraints. Output: Needs assessment report with prioritized capacity gaps and context notes.
Design the AI training framework & learning outcomes
What to do: Using the synthesis of global input, document analysis, and local needs, draft learning objectives, module outlines, ethical guidelines, and assessment criteria for each actor (curriculum developers, textbook writers, teachers). Output: Training framework and module blueprint.
