The Institute of Rural Management (IRM) organized a national seminar titled “Beyond Degrees: The Future of Education, AI, and Skills That Matter” in Islamabad on 20 May 2026.

Bringing together policymakers, academics, technology experts, and development professionals, the seminar highlighted a critical reality: academic qualifications alone are no longer enough to prepare Pakistan’s workforce for an AI-driven economy. Future employability will increasingly depend on practical skills, digital literacy, critical thinking, adaptability, and lifelong learning.

Distinguished speakers — including Prof. Dr. Raheel Qamar (Rector, COMSATS University), Israr Mohammed Khan (DG, NCRD), Ghulam Shabbir (Development and Public Policy Specialist), and Usman Zahid (Chief AI Officer, White Rice Impact) — emphasized the urgent need for reforms in education, governance, and workforce development systems.

The seminar concluded with a collective call for stronger collaboration among government, academia, industry, and development organizations to build an inclusive, skilled, and future-ready workforce for Pakistan.
