Our Think Tank
Shazia Yaqub
Business Strategy and Entrepreneurship Consultant
Progress never happens in a vacuum. So, in a country like Pakistan, where half the population does not know how to read and write, it is a national imperative of every Pakistani national, industry, and government to ensure that no person is denied the right to basic education and a decent life so that we can hope to compete in this age of knowledge.
To help marginalized communities to becoming educated ones, we must democratize knowledge by bringing a school into every home through technology. Team Taleem sets the pace for a self-paced, highly interactive, engaging program that sets the stage for further learning while being affordable for the common man. An educated nation is an empowered one.
Adeela Khan
Marketing and Communications Consultant
If an average Joe, who has never learned to read and write, is motivated enough to recognise roman alphabets to use smart phones for the purposes of entertainment and connection, there is no excuse left to not use technology to massify education.
Sadia and Zainab are making sure that the opportunity to quality education is normalised and made accessible at an affordable price. What appeals to me most about this initiative is that it offers an equitable chance to anyone who seeks education, overcoming class barriers and stemming the growing gap between the have and have-nots.

Societies deal with waste by funneling a process through an efficiency matrix, to sweep up as much waste as possible. Among the most deep seated waste is one of human talent. A capable person not used or trained properly. Here, in our country this is a much deeper problem. Talent never makes it to the door of the funnel to be used or trained. They never get educated, so never enter the race at all. This is a travesty – a human tragedy. Only Allah knows how much of his given talent is being wasted by us, the society.
With this program, they are trying to balance some of this wrong, so that with some sincerity we can say we tried for our people, our country. My dua is that this leads to many young people getting educated and being given some hope for their future.

Zainab & I go back 30 years since our FAST days. It was last year when Zainab introduced me to her joint initiative with Sadia. I instantly decided to support them in whichever way I could for two main reasons. First, the very purpose of Team Taleem’s creation is to address the core issue of quality early education for all in Pakistan and to support the segments of society who cannot afford quality education.
Second, both Zainab and Sadia are accomplished corporate professionals with illustrious careers. They decided to hang their corporate boots and roll up their sleeves for a social cause at the expense of their time, own money and brains. This made me realize that if professionals such as these could dedicate themselves to such a noble cause, the least I should do is to support them.

I believe that using low-cost tablets in Education will enable the upcoming generation to share in the global conversation about our shared future. As the COVID-19 Pandemic has highlighted, our current challenge as humans is to collaborate across borders to solve global problems. In this century we can imagine an end to an era where access to education was limited by your place of birth, gender or poverty.
