AKU LEADS Awards 100 Learners with Micro-Credentials and Digital Badges

The Aga Khan University (AKU) recently celebrated a major milestone in its journey toward democratising education as 100 learners graduate from its LEADS (Lifelong Learning, Education and Development of Skills) programme with digital badges and micro-credentials. Their success captures the heart of LEADS’ mission: creating opportunities for individuals to build practical, globally recognised skills that support personal growth, professional development and long-term empowerment. “At the Aga Khan University, we believe in empowering people from all walks of life, especially from the underserved communities in low and middle income countries,” says Dr Anjum Halai, Professor and Vice-Provost, AKU. “AKU-LEADS is one such groundbreaking programme that will meet the diverse educational needs of the youth and career professionals in such communities.”
