MoITT & Ministry of Education Partner with TikTok to Promote STEM Education in Pakistan
Islamabad – TikTok, in partnership with the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication (MoITT) and the Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training, announced the official launch of its dedicated STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) feed in Pakistan, reinforcing its commitment to make high-quality educational content more accessible and engaging for all.
The new STEM feed on TikTok is a dedicated in-app experience where users can explore a curated stream of high-quality content focused on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. It is designed to spark curiosity, promote critical thinking, and expand digital learning opportunities, especially for students, educators, and young professionals across Pakistan.
TikTok is also partnering with leading academic institutions across the country to launch a training programme for teachers, educators and instructors. These trainings are focused on empowering them with the tools, techniques, and best practices, needed to create compelling, informative, and engaging STEM content tailored for short-form video. In addition, TikTok is actively nurturing Pakistan’s local STEM creator community, providing training and guidance to increase the volume and quality of STEM content across the platform in English, Urdu and regional languages as well. This effort is aimed at building a self-sustaining educational ecosystem where both formal educators and independent creators contribute to a shared mission: making STEM education fun, inclusive, and discoverable.
TikTok has also launched a dedicated hashtag #StemTok, as well as a landing page, where it will feature content created by partners, creators and publishers, providing easy access to local language STEM content in Pakistan.
Shaza Fatima Khawaja, Federal Minister of Information Technology and Telecommunication, stated: “This initiative is aligned with our broader vision to use digital platforms to enhance education and skill development in Pakistan. TikTok’s STEM feed is an excellent example of how technology can democratize access to knowledge and empower our youth, including aspiring female students, to explore new career pathways in science and technology. We are proud to support this collaboration with TikTok and look forward to seeing its long-term impact.”
Ms. Wajiha Qamar, Minister of State for Federal Education and Professional Training, stated: “We welcome the launch of TikTok’s dedicated STEM Feed in Pakistan, as a step toward making science and technology more accessible and relatable to our youth. Digital platforms, when used responsibly, can become powerful tools for education, creativity, and empowerment. This initiative aligns with our national goals to promote STEM learning and build a future-ready generation—curious, skilled, and inspired.”
Fahad Muhammad Khan Niazi, Head of Public Policy and Government Relations, Pakistan at TikTok said: “The launch of the TikTok STEM feed in Pakistan marks an exciting milestone in our mission to inspire and educate through creativity. By partnering with the MoITT, Government of Pakistan, and by collaborating with prestigious academic institutions, we are investing in Pakistan’s future talent. STEM education has the power to transform lives, and we are proud to be supporting its digital evolution on TikTok.”
By combining the reach and creative potential of TikTok with the expertise of Pakistan’s top educational institutions and government bodies, the STEM feed will create new, scalable avenues for learning. From explaining complex physics concepts through short videos to coding tutorials, engineering hacks, and climate science awareness, STEM content will now be more relatable and accessible than ever before.
This initiative is part of TikTok’s broader commitment to social impact and educational empowerment in Pakistan, following previous efforts to support digital literacy, small business enablement, and safety awareness.
