As part of the program, teachers will receive training on effectively integrating the AI tutor into classrooms. Once they are onboarded, students will gain access to the Khanmigo platform, where they can use tailored learning tools and resources.
“The AI tutor will help students learn at their own pace, addressing knowledge gaps and reinforcing concepts in an interactive and engaging manner. This initiative has the potential to transform education in Islamabad, making learning more accessible, enjoyable, and effective. With Khan Academy’s expertise and the Ministry’s support, students and teachers can expect a more innovative and inclusive learning environment,” the statement read.
