Pakistan's National AI Policy Implementation Challenges

Published on 4.16.25

  The National AI Policy 2024 aims to achieve its objectives by incorporating AI into national curricula and offering fiscal incentives to startups and small/medium enterprises. A digital transformation project worth Rs978.186 million is part of this effort, which will have a significant impact on the education sector. This project is one of the government's initiatives to invest in reliable digital infrastructure and provide affordable technology solutions to bridge the digital divide. The introduction of school support specialists in 100 schools at a cost of Rs423.469 million is another initiative aimed at improving the quality of education. The policy's focus on providing affordable technology solutions is particularly relevant given Pakistan's rural-urban divide, where access to quality education and digital infrastructure is limited. By investing in reliable digital infrastructure and incorporating AI into national curricula, the government can help bridge this gap and provide equal opportunities for students across the country. Pakistan faces significant challenges in its education sector, including a backlog of 25,000 students who have completed their documentation but are yet to receive their degrees from the Higher Education Commission (HEC). The government must address these challenges while implementing the National AI Policy 2024 to ensure that the benefits of AI integration in education reach all segments of society.
