Pakistan Association Dubai signs MoU with Ulearn to enhance education for community members

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Association Dubai (PAD) has signed a memorandum of understanding with Ulearn LLC in the United Arab Emirates to provide cost-effective education to its community members by utilizing modern technological means, according to an official statement released after the ceremony on Saturday.
PAD has raised concerns about the insufficient number of community schools available to meet the educational needs of Pakistani children in recent years, with estimates suggesting that thousands of students may be left without access to education due to overcrowding and financial limitations.
Ulearn, known for its expertise in affordable educational technology solutions, aims to alleviate these challenges by introducing innovative learning tools that could significantly improve educational access for Pakistani children in the Gulf state.
“The purpose of this MoU is to establish a framework for cooperation between PAD and Ulearn LLC to promote education within the Pakistani community in the United Arab Emirates,” the statement issued by the Pakistan embassy in the UAE said.
“The Parties aim to provide cost-effective online education that reduces educational costs and travel expenses, while ensuring equal access to quality education for all students through modern e-learning methods,” it added.
The collaboration is expected to enable Pakistani students to benefit from experienced teachers in the UAE.
The MoU signing ceremony was also witnessed by Pakistan’s Consul General in Dubai, Hussain Muhammad, highlighting the importance of this partnership for the community.
The UAE is home to over 1.8 million Pakistanis, who constitute the second-largest source of remittances for their country and contributed around $5.5 billion to Pakistan’s national economy last year.
Pakistan also hopes that Gulf countries will employ more of its nationals as it seeks to navigate a prolonged economic crisis.
