Independent international evidence

The future-ready education theme is also visible in independently published international records. The Academic Development Conference 2025 lists Salman Ahmed Khatani among the contributors to the binational Iqra University–ZHAW Cyber-Physical Immersive Learning Spaces (CPILS) work, describing the environment as supporting future skills and future literacy learning. The collaboration also produced a 2025 IEEE International Conference on Cloud Engineering publication.
