This has ranged from educational radio broadcasting to children in remote mountains, to TV channels being used to deliver classes nationwide. Yet, as the pandemic has developed, this picture has become more complex. Optimism in EdTech’s promise has given way to fears that the most marginalised children — particularly those who cannot access technological solutions — are falling further behind. Even those children who are able to use EdTech may not be learning. In short, a pre-existing digital divide has become more pronounced now that education delivery has had to increasingly rely on technology. This divide must be addressed if EdTech is to support effective learning for all children in all contexts in Pakistan. This desk review argues that the only way to realise EdTech’s potential is to recognise its shortcomings. Technology alone will not help children learn. EdTech’s role is as one part of a wider education system. Technology facilitates learning with support from key actors such as parents, teachers, and school leaders and with sustained political support and supporting infrastructure. This review provides an overview of Pakistan’s technology-facilitated learning landscape that caters to the learning needs of children aged 6–16. It sets out key EdTech-related features, challenges and trends, in addition to highlighting prominent EdTech organisations and tools in Pakistan.

As schools have closed worldwide, EdTech has played a critical role in keeping children learning. However, as the pandemic has persisted, the optimism around EdTech has plateaued. It has given way to fears that children who are using EdTech are not learning, and that the most marginalised children are falling further behind due to the emergence of a digital divide. On average, only 34\% of households across Pakistan have digital access and only 14\% have access to laptops or computers. The access challenge is further intensified by demographics including gender, locality, and socio-economic status. This divide must be addressed if EdTech is to support effective learning for all children across all contexts in Pakistan. If left unaddressed, EdTech interventions can exacerbate a digital divide that further compounds the disadvantage of marginalised groups. Across the world, UNICEF has supported governments globally to deploy EdTech tools in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. To support this endeavour in Pakistan, UNICEF Pakistan is building evidence on digital learning to support the EdTech ecosystem in Pakistan. Evidence in this landscape review will support stakeholders including the Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training (MoFEPT) and UNICEF Pakistan to develop long-term strategies to fortify Pakistan’s EdTech ecosystem. The purpose of this landscape review is to identify the challenges, emerging trends, and opportunities for engagement within Pakistan’s EdTech ecosystem. To do this, the landscape analysis collected and analysed data (both primary and secondary, and quantitative and qualitative) relating to technology-facilitated learning in Pakistan. In this way, this landscape analysis can both inform MoFEPT and UNICEF’s strategies and provide a resource for stakeholder (e.g., federal, provincial, and regional government agencies, development partners, and the private sector) engagement in technology-facilitated learning in Pakistan.

We identified these approaches by interviewing flood-affected parents and teachers, government education officers, development partners, local NGOs, and international experts in education in emergencies. We find that during the different phases of response to the emergency, communities’ needs and infrastructural realities keep changing.
