KARACHI – With the aim to digitise education, TikTok and ed-tech company Edkasa are collaborating with the Sindh Education Foundation (SEF) to expand the #ExamReady scholarship scheme to over 10,000 deserving students in the province.
According to a statement from the social media platform, #ExamReady, a first-of-its-kind STEM-focused digital learning project, was established in early 2022 by TikTok, Edkasa, and the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) to support online education and distance learning for high school students.
