Early Age Programming Digital Skills


EARLY AGE PROGRAMMING



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 * 28 July 2017
 * Digital Skills

PROJECT DESCRIPTION



KPITBs Early Age Programming initiative is running successfully across 225
Elementary and Secondary Schools in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. In the advent of the
digital era, the orthodox and outdated computer science curriculum being taught
at schools has become irrelevant to the rapidly evolving and in-demand digital
skills. Digital technology has emerged as the single biggest market disruptor
and it has not only changed the way we interact with the world around us but has
also redefined literacy and competency required to participate in the society as
useful citizens.

As we inch towards digitization, it becomes paramount that we bridge the digital
divide across the various socio-economic classes of the society by imparting
digital literacy and relevant digital skills. This shift in priority needs to be
reflected in the curriculum adopted at public schools in order to stay at par
with current trends. Coding and Programming are essential tools of computer
science. The emergence of drag and drop computer programming has enabled easier
learning for coding languages and kids can learn to code using visual code
blocks that represent real programming concepts. This particular concept of
block coding forms the very essence of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Technology
Board’s (KPITB’s) Early Age Programming initiative.

KPITB in collaboration with the Elementary & Secondary Education department of
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa launched the Early Age Programming project in 2017.In the
Phase-I of the project from January 2017 to December 2017, 3000 students and
concerned IT Teachers of 57 Government Schools in 13 districts were trained on
EAP curriculum. In the Phase-II of the project from January 2018 to June 2019,
the initiative was extended to 300 Government Schools of 14 districts, wherein
17,000 students and IT Teachers of the respective schools were trained on EAP
curriculum and currently in Phase-III 11,000 students of 225 schools across 10
districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are benefitting from the said Project. The
project has produced remarkable results and the computer literacy and digital
skill level of the marginalized students of government schools have improved
significantly. The curriculum developed for the Early Age Programming initiative
is by far the most advanced in the country, leaving behind the curriculum
offered by most of the renowned private schools. It is pertinent to mention that
the Early Age Programming initiative falls under the Digital Skills pillar of
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Digital Strategy. The initiative is well in line with the
Sustainable Development Goals and promises to contribute towards the economic
uplifting of the country as well as reducing inequalities and improving the
quality of education.

IMTEHAAN - KP IT BOARD'S COMPUTER BASED TESTING



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 * 20 April 2018
 * Digital Governance Digital Economy

PROJECT DESCRIPTION



The need for developing a Testing Agency for Automated Recruitment Process is
driven by number of factors mainly efficiency, transparency and scalability.
Automated Recruitment Process is efficient means of assessing candidates in huge
numbers under identical conditions. Automated Recruitment Process provides a
tool to benchmark candidates in a uniform manner, but most importantly it is the
apparatus to ensure transparency & credibility.

The current recruitment and assessment process is inefficient, prone to errors
and performance issues usually go unnoticed due to lack of regulatory oversight.

The KP IT Board Testing Agency can be easily scaled by expanding the testing
labs all over the province to extend its benefit to remote and far flung areas
to ensure the convenience of the applicants.

business initiatives. These failures are mainly due to the constraint of initial
investment, unavailability of free/low cost guidance, un-awareness of market
trends and lack of technical expertise. The chance to provide hands–on support
in the form of Grant, guidance and information, and to connect startups with
strategic resources and to bring creation of innovative and sustainable start-up

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 * 27 July 2017
 * Digital Governance

PROJECT DESCRIPTION



Information is one of the basic and fundamental pillars of knowledge based
economies and during the last decade there is exponential increase in nature and
volume of information contained and processes by digital systems. ICT acting as
enabler, can result in improved governance, assistance and services as well as
economic integration, improved living standards, narrow the digital divide, and
improve government services utilization and management. Increase in the use of
communication technologies for connectivity, mobility and versatility exposure
to the digital assets to cyber threats. Traditional information security
techniques may work in isolation but with increased connectivity systems are
exposed to increasing vulnerability. Procurement of ICT based assets has been
priority but now the security of the acquired assets along with the data
generated or processed is equally important. As KP advances in to the digital
era, the need for a level Cyber Security framework becomes crucial. This Cyber
Security framework shall not only ensure maximum security but shall also ensure
maximum availability.

Trained human resource is the fundamental to address the challenges of cyber
security. There has been number of training programs and degrees offered across
Pakistan to address some of the aspects. Most of the training programs are
offered as higher education degree programs; however there is a dire need to
educate our young graduate with the rapidly evolving Cybersecurity body of
knowledge.

To address provincial & national CyberSecurity challenges KPITB has established
KPCERC , which aims to build capacity by leveraging expertise and skills in
domains of cyber security. KP CERC aims to train skilled human resources,
contribute towards empowering the government departments across KP along with
industry by providing advisory in the cyber and information security area.
Empowering the government departments of KP with technology support is
fundamental by establishing and leading the Cybersecurity framework for the
province along with establish Security Operation Centre (SoC) & Cyber Emergency
Response Team (CERT) & guidelines for Cyber Emergency Incidence Response (CSIR).
KPCERC is mandated to ensure the health and quality of digital application and
services & digital assets used, managed or deployed by the government
departments across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. KPCERC is accomplishing these by
designing a KP Cybersecurity framework.

KP Digital Internship Program Digital Skills


KP DIGITAL INTERNSHIP PROGRAM



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 * 20 April 2018
 * Digital Skills

PROJECT DESCRIPTION



A large number of students graduate each year from KP universities. However,
they are unable to secure jobs due to the lack of the required skills set that
are sought by the employers. General market trend shows that companies usually
prefer to hire professionally experienced candidates who allure the employer
with their skill sets, capabilities and experiences and they are expected to
bring returns on investments and add value to organizations, so fresh graduates
remain jobless. Under digital skills and digital economy strategy of KPITB, an
internship program is proposed to provide an opportunity to IT, CS and ICT
graduates of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa so that they may develop their professional and
technical skills and become capable to earn jobs based on those skills.

This program is also aimed at provision of human resource support to the
companies located in KP IT Parks for their business operations and
sustainability. Duration of each batch of Internship is 6 months.
