Islamabad (TDI): Jazz, Pakistan’s leading digital operator, has signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the British Council and Tech Valley – the Google for Education partner in Pakistan – to scale up access to digital education, capacity building, and social development initiatives nationwide.
The MoU was signed at a ceremony at Jazz Headquarters and marks the beginning of a two-year collaboration aimed at bridging Pakistan’s digital and educational divides. Jazz will leverage its extensive digital infrastructure and nationwide reach to deliver inclusive, tech-enabled learning programs that align with Pakistan’s socio-economic development priorities.
The partnership brings together Jazz’s digital leadership, the British Council’s global expertise in learning frameworks, and Tech Valley’s innovative role as the exclusive Google for Education partner in Pakistan. The three organizations will collaborate on teacher training, youth capacity building, and the co-design of ed-tech interventions targeting underserved communities.
Syed Zaheer Mehdi, Group Chief Corporate and Regulatory Officer, said: At Jazz, we believe that access to quality education should not be defined by geography, gender, or circumstance.
This partnership with the British Council and Google/Tech Valley reflects our shared commitment to harness digital technology to unlock human potential — especially for youth and women in underserved communities. Together, we’re building a more inclusive and connected future — one where every learner has the tools, confidence, and opportunity to thrive.”
