I recently had the pleasure of sitting down for an engaging video chat with Rehan Allahwala, an innovative educator based in Karachi, Pakistan. Rehan runs a unique school focused on empowering underprivileged youth through access to technology and skills-building centered around artificial intelligence. The students come from one of the poorest areas of Karachi, with family incomes under $100 per month. Yet Rehan provides each child with a computer and internet access, encouraging self-directed learning. Traditional subjects take a backseat to problem-solving, public speaking, and content creation using tools like AI assistants, video editing software, and social media. Already, the results have been promising. Students conduct dozens of interviews each month in languages like English, learning communication skills. They write scripts, record voices, and edit videos daily using AI. Within a few short months, some began picking up bits of new languages just from interviewing fluent speakers online. https://rehan.com/ Rehan believes this model cultivates the sorts of soft skills increasingly important for success - communication, networking, confidence. And it's not just theory; he's seen first-hand how acquiring in-demand digital skills can help overcome poverty. One factor in Rehan's school is that students must solve a major problem in their community using technology and their skills. While traditional schools struggle to keep up with rapid technological change, Rehan is tackling head-on how to educate youth for a future shaped by AI, internet access and digital platforms. His school offers a glimpse of what's possible when education embraces new opportunities instead of resisting them. With visionaries like Rehan, there is hope that even greater numbers of young people worldwide can access education empowering better lives. 🚀 Ready to elevate your digital game?
