Intersection of Education, Technology and Gender Inclusion | Education | 2025

Grateful for the opportunity to deliver the 20-minute special address on the intersection of education, technology and gender inclusion at the #AgaKhanSchools, from a practitioner’s perspective, at the conference organized by the Centre for Development Policy and Practice (CDPP) at the Kautilya School of Public Policy (KSPP - GITAM University), in partnership with the Centre for Women Studies (Maulana Azad National Urdu University), Digital Empowerment Foundation (DEF), The Education Group London and KSPP.

This covers how schools are tackling some of the barriers in education – gender inclusion, rural access and the digital divide. From girls’ schools in conservative communities to offline-first adaptive learning, this provides insights on how technology can be leveraged effectively as a tool, and not a quick fix. This also covers real examples: remote teaching with local facilitators, “mobile tech trolleys” in classrooms, blended learning approaches, teacher development, bridging learning gaps, and efforts to keep girls in school despite social pressures.
