Haroon Yasin’s organization @projectorenda is working tooth and nail amid the COVID-19 pandemic to make education in Pakistan more accessible (and fun!). glblctzn.me/3gVaugg

@aanyafniaz @vishaltalreja @WISE_Tweets @SalzburgGlobal ...in one instance, we saw phones being sold on a donkey-cart! So, it won't be long before people will start buying these low-cost smartphones (however they have their own challenges which we're working on!)

@projectorenda @vishaltalreja @WISE_Tweets @SalzburgGlobal Could you also share smartphone penetration data for Pakistan? Helps paint a clearer case for #EdTech as not just an emergency-case response.

A5. EdTech had been a supplementary resource but now it has become an essential part of the education ecosystem. Post_COVID EdTech is expected to play a major role as a primary form of education #WISEALLIN #FutureEd #SGSedu @WISE_Tweets @SalzburgGlobal

@aanyafniaz @vishaltalreja @WISE_Tweets @SalzburgGlobal As it stands, smartphone penetration is at 51% but there is a sharp rise with the entry of low-cost smartphones in the market. We have been all around Pakistan and one thing we have noticed is that phone ownership is common, even in the most marginalised communities...

A7. Private and Public sector joining hands and sharing resources so that, crisis or no crisis, every child receives an education regardless of their caste, colour, religion, gender or geography! #WISEALLIN #FutureEd #SGSedu @WISE_Tweets @SalzburgGlobal

1) The need to place mechanisms to pivot when disaster strikes 2) The need for parents' continued involvement 3) EdTech needs to start thinking and developing more as a primary source of education #WISEALLIN #FutureEd #SGSedu @WISE_Tweets @SalzburgGlobal

A4. Bringing together the Government sector and the Private sector had been impossible until now but within a month they have collectively come up with an immediate solution #WISEALLIN #FutureEd #SGSedu @WISE_Tweets @SalzburgGlobal

A4. children with latent access to smartphones have become more active, highlighting the need to optimise modern solutions for parental use #WISEALLIN #FutureEd #SGSedu @WISE_Tweets @SalzburgGlobal

A3. With the content being aired on TV and radio we are reaching children in the remotest areas of Pakistan #WISEALLIN #FutureEd #SGSedu @WISE_Tweets @SalzburgGlobal

Users are also spending 9.5 minutes on the app which is more than an average YouTube session length in Pakistan! They can finish 2 lessons and accompanying tests in this time. #WISEALLIN #FutureEd #SGSedu @WISE_Tweets @SalzburgGlobal

A3. Our platform, #TaleemabadLearningApp is seeing an unprecedented rise in users, gaining more than 2000 users/day! We also have content airing on national television so that kids can learn at home. #WISEALLIN #FutureEd #SGSedu @WISE_Tweets @SalzburgGlobal

A2. The pandemic has exposed the underbelly of the current education models - they are not equipped to provide education to children, not just during crises, but as a scalable model to reach children everywhere #WISEALLIN #FutureEd #SGSedu @WISE_Tweets @SalzburgGlobal

A1. Daniyal Zia here from Pakistan and I am a strategist at Orenda. We're an edtech company teaching the national curriculum of Pakistan using animations, through the #TaleemabadLearningApp #WISEALLIN #FutureEd #SGSedu @WISE_Tweets @SalzburgGlobal

lnkd.in/f7Ve8Qq Haroon Yasin felt like a stranger in classrooms. And in Islamabad’s slums, where inequality and poverty are widespread, he saw children who feel the same way today. So he founded Orenda. #orenda #taleemabad #edtech #elearning #education #smartlearning
