The US tech giant Google<\/a> has unveiled new education projects that will see 50 smart schools built in Islamabad, Pakistan’s federal capital. The Google for Education team recently met with the Secretary of the Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training to discuss future plans for Pakistan’s education sector. The meeting was organised in cooperation with Tech Valley, the team’s local partner.<\/p>\n

These 50 smart schools in Islamabad would be outfitted with 30,000 Google<\/a> for Education IDs, as per reports from the official news agency. AI-powered practice sets and a variety of digital tools designed to improve productivity and teamwork will be included with these IDs.<\/p>\n

A number of upcoming initiatives were also discussed during the meeting, such as teacher workshops on Google for Education tools, the establishment of a public Google Reference School, the training of 2,000 youth with Google Career Certificates in skills relevant to the workforce, and the possibility of working with the Ministry of Federal Education in Pakistan to host an Edutech event.
\nOn International Women’s Day earlier in March, Google reaffirmed its commitment to empowering women. The company believes that by giving women the tools and resources they need, the nation can unlock a future characterised by more equality, inclusiveness, and prosperity for all.<\/p>\n

Google has launched a number of initiatives targeted at advancing greater equality and women’s empowerment in the workforce in an effort to close these disparities. The company has recognised the enormous potential. The Google Career Certificates programme, which was launched in Pakistan in 2022, is one such project.
\nThe programme allocated a minimum of 50% of its scholarships solely to women, with the goal of improving women’s access to economic opportunities and empowering them to achieve their goals. In an effort to empower more students, the programme provided 44,500 scholarships in 2023 and promised to award 45,000 more in 2024.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Google has been addressing accessibility issues, training aspiring journalists, and giving women opportunities to obtain reporting experience through the Google News Initiative (GNI) and local partners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
