Collaboration from all stakeholders was identified as essential for effective adoption at the university level. Professor Dr. Hasina Khan, a UGC member leading the initiative, addressed the workshop participants. She elaborated on ongoing efforts to align the proposed blended education system with the government’s development plan. The workshop further benefited from presentations by subject matter experts.
