Pakistan | Digital Inclusion

The company

Knowledge Platform’s Learn Smart Pakistan is a gamified cloud learning platform for students.

The problem

In Pakistan, quality education is only affordable for middle- and upper-income groups and, as a result, millions of students are out of school. While online learning resources are available, most people in Pakistan cannot afford to buy a smartphone, tablet or internet connection for online education.

GSMA Project

In November 2024, Knowledge Platform merged with GSMA alumnus Eneza Education, and this merger now serves more than 1 million learners in Africa and Asia using mobile, web and SMS technologies.

A message from the CEO

“A lack of affordable devices and 3G/4G internet access are barriers to online education. To solve this challenge, we want to launch an educational tablet. Also available on instalments, our educational tablet will come with internet access, personalized learning, digital content, games, assessment, and data.”
