KARACHI: The two-day Pakistan School Summit 2026 is set to begin on September 25 at Hall 6 of the Karachi Expo Centre, bringing together students, teachers, school leaders, education experts and technology organisations.
Held under the theme “Students Imagine, Build, Lead,” the summit is expected to attract thousands of participants and will focus on learning, innovation, leadership, networking and future educational opportunities.
For the first time, the Pakistan Army, Pakistan Navy and Pakistan Air Force are also scheduled to participate in the summit. Students will have an opportunity to learn about the armed forces, national service, career pathways and related opportunities.
The event will feature dedicated zones covering emerging areas including artificial intelligence, robotics, STEM, coding, drones, virtual reality, augmented reality, student gaming, financial literacy, inclusive education, career counselling, international education and student podcasting.
A key attraction will be the “School of Tomorrow” section, where school leaders and teachers will be introduced to digital learning tools, educational technology and potential solutions for future classrooms.
Separate forums will also be organised for teachers, principals and school leaders. These sessions will cover modern teaching methods, changing educational needs, school transformation, technology and the future of education.
The summit will also feature participation from international technology and education companies, including Microsoft, ClassDojo, Touch Pro Displays, Yealink, Logitech, Moodle, Zoom and other organisations. The organisers say the event will provide opportunities for business-to-business networking and school-to-industry collaboration.
Another major feature will be the Pakistan School Awards, which organisers say will be based on transparency, evidence and professional evaluation rather than popularity. Categories include Teacher of the Year, Principal of the Year and School of the Year.
Students will also be able to participate in robotics challenges, gaming activities, virtual-reality experiences, creative competitions, technology demonstrations and podcasting sessions.
The Pakistan School Summit 2026 will run from September 25 to 26 at the Karachi Expo Centre.
