Federal Education Minister Dr. Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui inaugurated a new IT laboratory at Islamabad Model College for Girls (VI\u2013XII) in G-11\/1 as part of the Disruptive Education: Transforming Schools into Foundries of Emerging Tech initiative. The facility is intended to support regular curricula while offering students specialized training in modern technologies such as Python, JavaScript, DevOps, Blockchain and Web 3.0, AI-powered tools, e-commerce fundamentals, and data visualization.<\/p>\n
The lab has been equipped to serve both classroom needs and hands-on skill development for middle and high school students. Course offerings are aimed at giving learners practical experience in coding, systems development, and data handling, bridging classroom instruction with industry-relevant technologies.<\/p>\n
Dr. Siddiqui praised the Federal Directorate of Education, the college administration, and partner organizations CMPak, LearnOBots, and IST for their roles in bringing technology-enabled learning to a public sector school. He reiterated the Ministry\u2019s commitment to further strengthen IT and science education facilities across Islamabad.<\/p>\n
Under the broader project, 30 Type-A labs outfitted with desktop computers and 106 Type-B labs supplied with Chromebooks have been established across participating schools. A team of 150 Tech Fellows has been deployed to provide training and mentorship to students, ensuring hands-on guidance alongside the new equipment.<\/p>\n
Officials say the initiative seeks to provide students with 21st-century ICT skills and prepare them to compete in the global knowledge economy by turning schools into hubs for emerging technology education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
