Citizens Foundation (TCF) and Khan Academy Pakistan have announced an innovative AI-run collaboration to support teachers and improve classroom learning in selected TCF schools.

This pilot initiative aims to strengthen teachers by improving teachers’ lesson delivery, promoting critical thinking and improving classroom commitment for grades in grade 6-8.

During this collaboration, Khanmigo will be integrated into selected TCF schools to improve math and science instruction.

Contrary to traditional AI, Khanmigo acts as an interactive teaching assistant and helps teachers improve their knowledge, crafts lessons, develop quizzes and create deeper student commitment.

The pilot program will equip teachers with AI-run teacher tools, provide structured requests to guide teachers to develop learning material relevant to their students, and offer bilingual support in English and Urdu.

In addition, Khan Academy Pakistan will educate school leaders on effective AI integration and offer guidance on best practices for using Khanmigo in the classrooms.

This initiative will allow TCF teachers to refine their teaching methods, personalize learning experiences and drive meaningful class discussions, making AI-driven learning more accessible, structured and engaging for students.

“At TCF, we want to ensure that technology acts as a bridge to better learning opportunities rather than a barrier,” shared Syed Asaad Ayub Ahmad, President and CEO of TCF.

“We hope that Khanmigo will be useful to serve as a thinking partner for TCF teachers in the classroom and a transformative step towards making high quality education available and engaging.”

One of Khanmigo’s most promising features is its bilingual support that allows teachers to instruct both English and Urdu. This ensures that teachers with different backgrounds can fully engage in the content. As the program progresses, regional language support will be investigated, which is further expanded its availability.

“Khanmigo aims to give every child in Pakistan access to world -class education,” said Zeeshan Hasan, CEO of Khan Academy Pakistan.

“By strengthening teachers, we ensure that AI becomes a tool for empowerment rather than a shortcut. This partnership with TCF is a step forward towards transforming how education is delivered in the classrooms.”

“TCF strongly believes in the power of good teachers, and there is an undeniable social aspect of learning from a teacher. We are hopeful that Khanmigo will increase the teacher’s skills to make the classroom’s experience fun, engaging and meaningful for the students,” shared Shazia Kamal, executive vice president, performs at TCF.

With Pakistan facing a critical education crisis and a lack of educated teachers, AI-driven solutions like Khanmigo offer a scalable and cost-effective way of improving teaching quality.

While this initiative is currently in its pilot phase, TCF and Khan Academy Pakistan imagine to expand the program to more schools.

As AI continues to reshape the global education, this partnership confirms TCF’s obligation to equip teachers with the best tools to inspire and educate the next generation of Pakistan’s Changemakers.

TCF is a non-profit organization established in 1995 by a group of citizens who wanted to create positive social changes through education.

The 30-year-old organization is among Pakistan’s leading organizations in the field of education and educates 301,000 students across 2,033 school units in the country.
