In a groundbreaking initiative aimed at transforming the educational landscape of Azad Kashmir, Scholars College of Sciences and IT has joined hands with Nearpeer, Pakistan’s premier online learning platform, to provide cutting-edge digital resources to students preparing for competitive exams.
The collaboration was formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed during a ceremony held at Scholars College, Muzaffarabad. The event was attended by distinguished figures including Mr. Shah Rukh Khan Swati, Co-Founder and CEO of Nearpeer, and Mr. Syed Iftikhar Hussain Kazmi, Chairman of Scholars Foundation. Also present were Principal Ms. Sameea Siddique and other faculty members, including Syed Naveed Shah, Raja Abdul Qadir, and Rizwan Awan.
With more than 2.5 million students already benefiting from Nearpeer’s services across Pakistan, the platform has established itself as a leader in digital education. Its Learning Management System (LMS) is widely used by reputed institutions such as Library School and Foundation School to facilitate learning and prepare students for critical entrance exams like MDCAT and ECAT.
The newly forged partnership will provide Scholars College students with access to Nearpeer’s robust suite of digital learning tools, including expertly crafted video lectures, interactive quizzes, detailed notes, assignments, and live sessions. The goal is to enhance student learning outcomes and equip them with the resources needed to succeed in a rapidly evolving academic environment.
“I have personally experienced the transformative power of technology in education,” said Mr. Shah Rukh Swati during his speech at the ceremony. “Through this partnership, we aim to empower the youth of Muzaffarabad with modern tools that open the doors to academic excellence. We commend Scholars College for their unwavering commitment to innovation and education.”
