Technology-Enabled Academic Learning (TEAL)

Transforming how students learn—and how teachers teach. 

In many underserved classrooms across Pakistan, learning stops at memorization. With limited access to quality materials, technology, or training, students fall behind early—and stay behind.  

That’s where TEAL comes in. 

Launched in 2018, TEAL is DIL’s flagship model for middle school transformation. It brings together localized digital resources, interactive lesson plans, and continuous teacher support to enhance student engagement and improve learning outcomes. 

What TEAL Delivers

  • Standards-aligned instructional videos in English, math, and science 
  • Interactive lesson plans that foster inquiry and problem-solving 
  • Solar-powered classroom screens and laptops  
  • Ongoing technical support 
  • On-site and virtual teacher training 
  • Peer coaching and Communities of Practice (CoPs)  
  • A shift from lecture-based teaching to student-centered learning 
  • Management tools and guidance for school administrators 

How It Works

This visual illustrates how TEAL addresses systemic gaps in education—starting with teacher capacity and ending with student outcomes. From strategy to impact, TEAL aligns quality content, teacher development, and technology to create meaningful, measurable change.

Why It Matters

TEAL doesn’t just improve test scores. It changes how students see themselves—as learners, thinkers, and future leaders. 

“After TEAL started at our school, we have seen remarkable changes. Students are excited about the TEAL classes and talk about them at home and in the community. Seven new students joined just to attend our school—even traveling from the city. Their families are willing to pay for transport because of the program.”

“My old school only used textbooks and learning was difficult. With TEAL, I can re-watch videos and now I understand things. My grades jumped from 15–20% to 90%.” 

—Mahnoor, Grade 8, Kala Shah Kaku

“We used to just cram and memorize. Now we actually understand. Before TEAL I was barely passing; now I’m scoring 70–80%. I want to be a doctor to help the poor in my village.” 

—Ifra, Grade 8, Kala Shah Kaku

TEAL’s impact is long-term. DIL graduates are increasingly entering higher education and professions like engineering, medicine, public service, education, software development, accounting, and business—a testament to the power of sustained, quality education. 

Looking Ahead

In response to growing demand, TEAL is now expanding to grades 9 and 10. This next phase will equip students with the skills and mindset to pursue higher education, vocational paths, or professional careers—while continuing to support educators with the tools they need to deliver transformative instruction.
