Strong support among students for a digital transition: "We have to adopt digital with all its challenges. It’s saving us rental & transport costs. We will need to figure out how to fix our personal learning challenges & support our aged population in adopting digital tech."

What are the limitations to online learning? “Attention span is a big issue in online learning – internet speed slows down our pace and breaks our momentum.” Wider access to faster internet throughout AJK has been a key demand among The University of Azad Jammu and Kashmir students. #NHDR2023

Tech affordability is a top concern among students who freelance to support their education & diversify their skill-set. "We would need PKR 100,000 for a good laptop & additional monetary support to start a freelancing course. This is a lot just to get a head start." #NHDR2023

Digital inequalities across 🇵🇰 geography in full view: "A person in Islamabad using internet can do something in 1 hour and it takes me 4 hours. My internet data runs out and this impacts client trust and relations, giving me a very low rating on freelancing sites." #NHDR2023

In Bagh, #NHDR2023 team also led private sector engagements with CareCloud, formerly known as MTBC, to understand the challenges that come with providing quality healthcare IT solutions across areas of connectivity, data security, tech acquisition & product development.
