Pakistan’s education sector has a lot of potential and over the last couple of years several startups have surfaced that are trying to make education accessible to all – EdJunction, Teddict, and Knowledge Platform to name a few. But a sector that is vast and has an equally big room for improvement, several startups can peacefully co-exist to better our education system.
Startup Weekend Lahore is gathering education innovators to interact with like-minded individuals from all over Pakistan who have a vision to empower our education system with creative solutions and innovative ideas.
