  • Abstract
    Pakistan is a country of varied culture and people. One can find people on extreme ends of social set-ups. People who enjoy a lavish life and at the same time people who are living below the poverty line. When it comes to children, we all want them to have the best of everything, but unfortunately due to the financial imbalance in the society many under privileged children who are intelligent, bright and motivated are not able to excel due to the lack of facilities. The learning system presented in this paper is devised for children from the less privileged families, and will try to spread awareness about the use of computer and Internet. The learning system aims to provide interactive learning environment for children, develop in them self learning ability through Internet, allow them to explore things with an open mind. The learning system will try to compensate for computer & internet illiteracy in Pakistan.
