    This is a very motivated podcast. I have learned from this podcast that confidence is always a big thing to achieve your goals or dreams. And the second thing is self-learning and never giving up. The most important thing is your parents support. Every parent wants to give the best life to their children and they bear many hardships for us to make our life best.

I would recommend you to try a single course than see how it goes for you. :)

    I think there is a hidden wisdom in this episode. As the host said that people are not very good at looking for answer. And the guest said that he passed the Urdu test because it was an open-book test. Yet we are still think in memorization. Life is an open book test.

    Indonesian, Malaysian Ed Techs and even Indian children's content creators on youtube have created a lot of content in Malay and Hindi. Even Arab language content is on the rise. But just as Urdu websites find it hard to gain traction, Pakistani parents of even lower mid class want the children's content to be in English to bridge the divide between the haves and have nots due to language. There is a dire need for Urdu AND English content which is relevant to our culture. That said, gaining Knowledge, Skill and Education are three different things. Ed Tech can help one gain knowledge and some form of skill, but for experiential knowledge, critical insight, and practical skills, face to face learning will always be more valuable and become more sought after even when online education booms. The current online education experiment worldwide brought to light many issues such as lack of self autonomous learning skills among students which is crucial for a productive online education. Glad that Ammar has got his facts right and hope his plans positively impact Pakistani Education system.

    Kudos to you muzamil and the guest, just when I start losing hope listening to politicians and all the economic crisis our country is going through you guys are a ray of hope for the future of this country. keep up the good work. just wanted to add something, majority of government universities are playing with their student`s future. The quality of education is below average, if their is a level below average i would place them there. The Vice Chancellor`s appointment is political, that very same VC appoints Lecturers and professors (including administrative staff as well) on political basis and those guys are going to teach thousands of students for 60 years of their life and just imagine the kind of damage they are inflicting. So i suggest, don't know if my suggestion makes any difference but you guys can definitely convey the message properly. Form a team of highly professional and enlightened professors in their respective fields and re-conduct interviews of the guys who are teaching in these government institutions, trust me 80% of teaching staff will lose their jobs. Watched the podcast of HEC Chairman Mr. Banuri and the kind of revelations he made were just the tip of ice berg. Schools and colleges are even worse.
