Learn Smart Pakistan was introduced by Knowledge Platform in 2014 as a non-profit initiative with the aim of providing Pakistani students and teachers with quality educational resources. Following the unprecedented success of Learn Smart Pakistan 2014, the learning challenge was launched once again during the summer of 2015. However, this year the competition was expanded to include two additional subjects (English and Mathematics) in addition to components such as teacher boot camps and student workshops. The participation rate for LSP 2015 increased 7.9 times: 1,533 participants (including 1,314 students and 219 teachers) enrolled from 332 schools and 78 cities across Pakistan.
