پنجاب حکومت نے اپنے سرکاری اسکولوں میں آرٹیفیشل انٹیلی جنس (AI) تعلیم متعارف کروانے کا ایک اہم قدم اٹھایا ہے۔ اس پروگرام کا مقصد طلباء کو جدید ڈیجیٹل دور کے لیے تیار کرنا اور انہیں وہ مہارتیں سکھانا ہے جو مستقبل میں ضروری ہوں گی۔ ہر اسکول میں AI ٹیچر مقرر کیے جائیں گے اور 1,000 ماہر اساتذہ (Master Trainers) تربیت یافتہ ہوں گے تاکہ اسکول سطح کے اساتذہ کی رہنمائی کریں۔ کورس کے تحت طلباء کو عملی منصوبے، انٹرایکٹو اسباق اور AI کے تصورات کی عملی سمجھ فراہم کی جائے گی۔

اس اقدام کے ذریعے طلباء کی ڈیجیٹل لٹریسی، تنقیدی سوچ، اور مسئلہ حل کرنے کی صلاحیتیں بہتر ہوں گی۔ یہ پروگرام 60 دن کے اندر تمام سرکاری اسکولوں میں مکمل طور پر نافذ کیا جائے گا، جس سے طلباء جدید ٹیکنالوجی اور ڈیٹا سے چلنے والی صنعتوں کے لیے تیار ہوں گے۔ وزیراعلیٰ مریم نواز کے مطابق یہ ایک تاریخی قدم ہے جو پنجاب کے تعلیمی نظام کو جدید خطوط پر لائے گا اور طلباء کو مستقبل کے چیلنجز سے نمٹنے کے لیے مضبوط بنیاد فراہم کرے گا۔
