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:

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  2. Personalized learning through AI: Our AI tools provide real-time assessment and individualized feedback, helping each learner stay on track and succeed.

  3. Accessible technology: We use WhatsApp to reach learners where they are - over 52 million Pakistanis use it, making it the most inclusive platform available.

  4. 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.
