ISLAMABAD – The Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training (MOFEPT) and Tech Valley Pakistan have signed a Letter of Understanding (LOU) to digitally transform Pakistan’s education system through Canva for Education.
The signing ceremony, chaired by Wajiha Qamar, Minister of State for MOFEPT, marks the beginning of a multi-phase rollout starting in 2026. Under the partnership, all K–12 institutions will receive 100 percent free access to Canva’s premium creative features.
“This partnership is a significant milestone in our journey toward a digitally inclusive education system,” said Wajiha Qamar. “By bringing Canva’s premium creative features to our schools, we are giving our students the tools to express themselves and collaborate at a global standard.”
To ensure a seamless experience, Tech Valley will act as the technical bridge, configuring Single Sign-On (SSO) for secure and managed access once the official digital infrastructure is ready.
Beyond tools, the partnership focuses on building long-term capability through the “Canva Champion” Program. Tech Valley will lead a Train-the-Trainer initiative to certify local educators as “Canva Champions.” MOFEPT will nominate personnel from each institution to become master trainers, ensuring expertise remains embedded within schools to support future teachers and students.
Umar Farooq, CEO of Tech Valley Pakistan & MENA, said the initiative will create a sustainable ecosystem that enables Pakistani students to use the same premium tools as professionals worldwide.
The ceremony was attended by Fatima Akhtar, VP Communications at Jazz, and Fahad Rehman, Head of ESG (Governance & Sustainability), highlighting private-sector support for digital inclusion and youth empowerment.
This partnership serves as a key execution bridge for the Federal Directorate of Education’s Quality Education & Innovation Roadmap, unveiled by Federal Minister Dr. Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui. By deploying Canva for Education, MOFEPT is accelerating Pillar 1 (Digital and Innovative Learning) and Pillar 5 (Professional Development) of the national five-year framework.
