Empowering Teachers & Students to Build Essential Skills for Success
We use low-cost EdTech powered by AI to upskill underserved students & teachers and unlock potential
Our Why
Learning outcomes in much of the emerging world, particularly South Asia, are dismal. In Pakistan, 77% of 10-year-olds can’t read a sentence and 50 million students will leave K-12 education without the essential skills required to succeed in the 21st century. These include language proficiency, communication, critical thinking, and digital/AI literacy.
Nearly 2 million inadequately prepared graduates become teachers. With little or no access to professional development, they perpetuate a vicious cycle: poor learning outcomes, a poorly skilled workforce, and underprepared future teachers.
English proficiency is a key barrier. National policy mandates that English not only be taught as a subject but also be the medium of instruction for Math and Science. Yet, only 6% of teachers are English-proficient, and most of them serve elite, urban schools. Meanwhile, access to higher-paying jobs, white-collar careers, and global freelance and tech markets remains largely gated by English skills.
At Beaj Education, we are on a mission to democratize the skills that have historically been reserved for the privileged. Using low-cost technology and artificial intelligence, we deliver affordable, high-quality learning programs designed by world-class experts and tailored to local needs.
Our goal: to empower a million learners by 2030.
Our Dream
A world where every learner, no matter what their background, has a fair shot at success - because talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not. By breaking down barriers and providing access to affordable, high quality skill-development, we’re creating pathways for everyone to rise and thrive.
Our Work
At Beaj, we use AI-powered technology to make high-quality skill development accessible, personalized, and affordable for teachers and students. Our programs are created by world-class experts, backed by research, and designed for local contexts.
We began with English language proficiency and self-growth, and have since expanded to include 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, digital literacy, and STEM learning. We partner with under-resourced schools eager to innovate, delivering our programs through digital “bootcamps” over WhatsApp.
What makes our model unique is the powerful combination of five core elements:
Bite-sized, high-quality offerings: Courses and camps are packaged into short, engaging audiovisual lessons and interactive activities that require no more than 30 minutes of daily engagement.
Locally relevant content created by Human Experts: Our content is designed by globally renowned specialists, delivered in leaners’ local language, and tailored to meet the needs and realities of Pakistani learners.
Personalized learning through AI: Our AI tools provide real-time assessment and individualized feedback, helping each learner stay on track and succeed.
Accessible technology: We use WhatsApp to reach learners where they are - over 52 million Pakistanis use it, making it the most inclusive platform available.
A strong network of partner schools: We work with 200+ low-cost private schools, nonprofits, and government partners to onboard students and scale impact.
As a learning organization, we use data for decision-making and generate evidence to inform not only our work, but also the broader fields of Education, EdTech, Behavioral Science, and Learning Engineering.
