About
Hello! My name is Taimur and my project is on educational technology and the improvements it can have on learning in impoverished countries, I chose to work on this topic because in my school in SAS there is a lot of inclusion of technology specifically AI and it has been very impactful and beneficial to my learning. Unfortunately after some internships in schools in impoverished countries I have come to realise that the incorporation of technology in schools doesn't benefit those students as much as it does for kids in more affluent areas. And therefore I am interested in exploring this subject to see how AI and other forms of educational technology can become more impactful to students learning. At the end of this project I would want to publish my paper in an academic journal and I would like to start a blog on this topic.Projects

Taimur is working on a literature that will look at the current state of education and EdTech in Pakistan. Furthermore, the paper will address how EdTech can be used to increase education access. It will also consider some of the issues with integrating EdTech in Pakistan (device access, teachers not knowing how to use devices, lack of economic efficiency etc.)
