With over 240 million residents, Pakistan has made strides to provide students with equitable access to a quality education, yet challenges remain, especially in underserved and rural areas. To bridge this gap, the Higher Education Commission (HEC) is championing digital learning as a pathway to enhance skills and align education with career demands. Since 2018, HEC’s partnership with Coursera has been a game-changer, bringing world-class education to Pakistan’s higher education ecosystem. With 267,000+ course completions and 60% of learners reporting career boosts, the impact is clear. HEC is now working with employers to ensure these skills stay industry relevant. Looking ahead, HEC plans to collaborate with employers to measure the impact of Coursera learners, ensuring that Pakistan’s citizens gain industry-ready skills at scale.
