Code School is proud to announce its partnership with Government of Punjab's NSCoE (Nawaz Sharif Centre of Excellence for Early Childhood Education) to offer coding and AI classes as part of the NSCoE Summer Camp at the iconic Children's Library Complex Lahore.

The collaboration is significant not only because of the classes being offered, but because of what it represents.

NSCoE is a flagship initiative of the Government of Punjab designed to improve early childhood education through evidence-based practices, teacher development, and innovative learning models. Located within the Children’s Library Complex Lahore, it functions as a key learning and demonstration space for early education reform, bringing together educators and practitioners to strengthen how foundational learning is delivered across the system.

Code School is redefining how coding is taught — democratizing access to high-quality coding education for learners across diverse geographies, school systems, and income levels. We teach coding as a language of problem-solving and innovation, helping students build the confidence and curiosity needed to participate in the digital economy of the future. Recognized as a 2025 Global Emerging STEM Educator, Code School has reached students in more than 20 countries and earned multiple international awards, including the VISA HBL She’s Next award, TiE Women Pakistan, Stanford SEED Spark, and more.

“We are not just teaching children to build games in JavaScript. We are building tech literacy that will support them not only in school and future professional life, but more importantly, in developing the ability to break down problems and solve them using technology - a critical 21st century skill.”

During the launch of the NSCoE Summer Camp, Sadaf Rehman, founder & CEO of Code School spoke to City 42. Rehman has worked for several decades creating social impact for Pakistani youth in education and skills training, most recently serving as technical lead for the Government of Pakistan's National Curriculum Council, where she led the computer science curriculum reform exercise that impacted twenty two million students.

This partnership reflects a broader shift in education systems globally, where technology literacy is becoming as essential as traditional literacy. As AI and digital systems increasingly shape how people learn, work, and communicate, 21st century skills such as critical thinking, adaptability, and digital fluency are becoming foundational. Integrating these skills early ensures children are better prepared not only to use technology, but to understand and shape it responsibly.
