The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government is set to revolutionize its education system as the E-Basta Project reaches its final stage, replacing heavy school bags with tablets containing all academic content.
Launched to ease the burden on students and promote digital literacy, the project aims to provide tablets loaded with textbooks, lessons, lectures, and assignments. According to officials, these devices will be restricted for educational use only, ensuring that students remain focused on their studies.
The initiative also introduces parental monitoring tools, allowing parents to track study patterns, assess preparation levels, and even conduct tests through the tablets. Teachers will benefit as well, with features enabling them to assign homework, review progress, and generate instant performance reports.
Education experts say the project is not just about reducing bag weight but also about preparing students for the demands of a digital world. Officials believe that once fully implemented, the E-Basta Project will enhance learning outcomes, boost digital literacy, and improve the overall quality of education in KP.
Will this digital shift truly bridge the learning gaps, or will it create new challenges for students and teachers in adapting to technology?
