The competition seeks to invite entries/nominations in two related categories:

Most Innovative Teaching Pedagogies may include any innovative and locally designed teaching pedagogies in Language, Arts, or STEM learning that can be demonstrated to have a verifiable impact to the learning and non-learning outcomes of students.

Most Innovative Schools and Schooling Models may include private, public, non-profit, religious, online, homeschooling, or other non-traditional schools and schooling models that have attempted to tackle education differently. The specific innovations may include: innovative ways of organizing, recruiting students, financing, teaching or any innovative mix of curricular and non-curricular activities that can be demonstrated to have made a verifiable difference on educational and non-educational outcomes of the students.

The 3 Best Case Presentations shall win prizes of PKR 150K, 100K, and 50K sponsored by WSCL. Top-10 Educational Innovations shall be written up as Mini-Cases and shared via on/offline platforms. All invited Educational Innovations (Pedagogies+Schools) shall be documented as part of a national repository and will be available on a website for dissemination and sharing.

An important part of this exercise is to enable Pedagogical and Organisational Innovations to be written in a rigorous and evidence-based manner as Case Studies in Education Innovation and published.

Nominators are requested to be generous in nominating the best possible innovations without worrying about evidence for impact at this stage. It may be possible to look at the need or availability of such evidence and make a decision based on that assessment later. PIF/STEMx shall provide research support for identifying such data and writing of these Case Studies and thus helping create an evidence-based argument for impact.

WSCL/PIF/STEMx shall explore publishing the repository and resulting mini-cases on appropriate platforms with AKU-IED and other partners.
