@SADAMd644b63b7a said in ICT is powerful weapon in education:

In modern world we know that Information and Communication Technology is very important for all. Many countries have facilities of ICT in education but in our country specially in province Sindh we have not facilities of ICT in classrooms.

What do you think about Role of ICT in education?

Hi ! I am Shah from Sindh,

yes I agree with you that we have no facility but we have to try ourselves .If we have electronic devices like tab,laptop and android mobile we take a good start.
Here I describe the role of ICT in education . ICt significantly impacts education by enhancing the teaching and learning experience. It provides access to a wealth of digital resources and interactive content, such as videos, simulations, and virtual labs, which make learning more engaging and accessible. ICT enables personalized learning through adaptive platforms and Learning Management Systems (LMS), facilitating tailored educational experiences for students.It also promotes collaboration and communication through online tools and social media, enabling students and educators to work together effectively. . Additionally, it supports remote and distance learning, ensuring educational continuity even in challenging circumstances.Overall, ICT transforms education by making it more interactive, flexible, and inclusive, while also supporting professional development for teachers.

My dear brother @FarhanMehboob
Thank you so much for your kind words. It means a lot to me to know that my efforts are appreciated. Despite the challenges, I am committed to providing the best education possible for my students. Your encouragement motivates me to keep striving for excellence.

@BASSEe36fe400f5 Hi sir it is a good sound.it can definitely make a positive change in the field of education .

@FarhanMehboob Thanks my dear brother for your constructive reply.

I think the most significant barriers preventing children in Pakistan attending school which you mentioned above include poverty, lack of access to schools (especially in rural areas), cultural norms and gender discrimination.
And secondly you ask that how to reduce the number of OOSC in Pakistan so i mentioned here some steps which could be taken

1. Increase Funding for Education: Allocate more resources to build and maintain schools, especially in underserved rural areas.

2. Improve School Infrastructure:Ensure that schools have basic facilities such as clean drinking water, toilets, and proper classrooms.

3. Provide Financial Incentives: Offer scholarships, stipends, and other financial support to families to offset the costs of education.

4. Raise Awareness: Conduct community outreach programs to emphasize the importance of education, particularly for girls.

5. Enhance Teacher Training: Invest in teacher training programs to improve the quality of education.

6. Implement Flexible Schooling: Create flexible schooling options, such as evening classes or community schools, to accommodate children who work during the day.

7. Strengthen Child Protection Policies:Address child labor and ensure that laws protecting children's right to education are enforced.

8. Promote Inclusive Education: Develop programs to include children with disabilities and other marginalized groups in the education system.

9. Engage Local Communities: Involve local communities in school management and decision-making to foster a sense of ownership and responsibility towards education.

@Tabasebab67ddca Hi ! I am shah from Sindh.you highlighted the root issue which is faced mostly .I chose different strategies but most effective one is Implementing positive reinforcement strategy, such as rewards for good attendance, can motivate students to attend school regularly.

@Tabassum-Laghar Hi i like your topic .yes of course AI and Chatgpt make a marvelous change..in the world of technology .we get solutions of problems in a seconds or with i n a blink of an eye .here I share my personal experience that how this can work. last month i visited ziarat(which is almost 1050 km away from my city) with my family this was my first trip to ziarat so i m very curious about the weather coz i with my little champs.so I use chatgpt to acknowledge the weather and types of stuff i bring with .its really worked and I became saved with my champ.so i think AI and chatgpt are very useful in every field of life .

@Sehar-Kazi Thank you my dear sister for outlining the main themes for possible solutions to the challenges we face.I totally agree with you.but it is a real fact that we are in initial stage have to try to overcome on these challenges.

Hi I chose option 1,4 and 6

@Engr-Zeeshan Thank my dear respected sir for your value able remarks .

Assalam o alekom respected mam.your topic is very helpful .and learn how to get control on this situation

@Burfatmukhtiar Hi I am shah from Sindh. Dear sir I agree with you that one of the biggest challenge of this generation is climate change.But unfortunately we are responsible for this climatic conditions human activities like burnings fossil fuels ,deforestation,wast managment,agriculture and industrial processes have increased the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, leading to the enhanced greenhouse effect and global warming. This warming drives many of the climate changes observed today, such as rising temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, and more frequent and severe weather events. The scientific consensus is that urgent action is needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the impacts of climate change.

Assalam o Alekom my brother . The use of the latest technology and tools such as mobile phones, audio speakers, tablets, laptops, and projectors are very useful in improving learning approaches.
