Education is Broken in Pakistan, Here's What's Coming Next | Dr Habib Bokhari | TBT Podcast

In this episode of Thought Behind Things, we dive deep into the rapidly changing landscape of education and technology in Pakistan. Joined by Dr. Habib Bukhari, former Vice Chancellor of Kohsar University, we explore the impact of AI on the service industry, the importance of "STEM" education, and why the traditional "degree-only" approach is no longer enough for the global market.

Whether you’re a freelancer worried about AI disruption or a tech enthusiast looking for the next big thing in robotics and bio-economy, this conversation provides a roadmap for the next 25 years.
