Education Above All | Empowering 1 Million Children by 2030

about us

who we are?

Introduction

Qalam Learning App, is an EdTech platform driven by a strong social mission to transform access to quality education in Pakistan. The platform was developed in response to a deep national education crisis, as Pakistan currently has over 25 million and by some recent estimates more than 26 million out-of-school children aged 5–16, making it one of the highest in the world, with a significant proportion being girls, highlighting severe gender disparities in education. Qalam Learning App addresses this challenge by offering high-quality, interactive video-based learning aligned with the National Curriculum,

initially focusing on Grade 9 and Grade 10 with a roadmap to expand across all grades and competitive exam preparation. With a long-term vision to empower access to education for one million out-of-school children in Pakistan by 2030, the platform is committed to making learning engaging, effective, and accessible for all, while planning future expansion into digital skills, coding, and children’s educational content. At its core, Qalam Learning App stands by the belief “Education Above All,” striving to become a catalyst for educational change and a brighter future for Pakistan’s youth.
