LAHORE, Pakistan, Oct. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The College of Tourism & Hotel Management (COTHM Pakistan) has signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with MindHYVE.ai™, to usher in a new era of AI-powered learning and academic innovation in Pakistan’s tourism and hospitality sector.
The collaboration will see MindHYVE’s ArthurAI™ adaptive learning platform deployed across COTHM’s national network of campuses, transforming classroom instruction into personalized, data-driven, and future-ready education experiences.
“The hospitality industry contributes over 6% of Pakistan’s GDP and employs nearly four million people. Integrating AI into hospitality education ensures our graduates are not just employable but globally competitive,” said Ahmad Shafiq, CEO & Founder of COTHM Pakistan.
Under the agreement, COTHM and MindHYVE will collaborate on:
- Personalized learning paths for more than 12,000 students across Pakistan, using ArthurAI™ to tailor content by learner profile, language, and career goal.
- AI-driven faculty enablement, offering teachers real-time analytics and automated course-design assistance projected to reduce lesson-planning time by up to 70%.
- Learning-outcome analytics that track engagement and skill-mastery rates, allowing continuous program optimization based on live institutional data.
- Localization & compliance modules ensuring cultural and linguistic alignment for Pakistan’s diverse student base and adherence to national education standards.
“COTHM’s commitment to vocational excellence aligns with our mission to redefine learning through intelligent systems,” said Bill Faruki, Founder & CEO of MindHYVE.ai™. “With ArthurAI™, we expect measurable improvements in student engagement, educator efficiency, and institutional innovation.”
Global trends underscore the importance of this initiative:
- The World Travel & Tourism Council projects Pakistan’s hospitality sector to add 1.5 million new jobs by 2030.
- UNESCO estimates that AI adoption in education can improve learner outcomes by 15–25% through adaptive personalization.
- Aligned with global adaptive learning benchmarks, systems like ArthurAI™ have demonstrated up to 20% improvements in learner engagement and progression rates.
Through this partnership, COTHM becomes the first hospitality institution in South Asia to embed Agentic AI-driven pedagogy into vocational curricula, setting a new benchmark for regional education innovation.
The collaboration will commence with a phased national deployment of the ArthurAI™ platform across select COTHM campuses in Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad—reaching an initial 2,000 students and 150 faculty members in the first implementation wave.
This foundational phase will focus on:
- Faculty enablement and training, ensuring educators fully leverage AI-assisted analytics and adaptive course design.
- Curriculum transformation, integrating ArthurAI™’s personalized learning architecture within COTHM’s academic framework.
- Performance analytics, tracking engagement, learning progression, and instructional efficiency through real-time dashboards.
Insights and metrics from this deployment will directly inform a national-scale expansion across COTHM’s 16 campuses, establishing a unified, AI-powered academic model that can be replicated across the region’s vocational education sector.
Strategic oversight will be provided by a joint governance council chaired by Muhammad Jamil (Registrar, COTHM) and Jahanzeb Ahmed (VP Operations, MindHYVE.ai™ Pakistan), ensuring alignment with institutional goals, ethical AI principles, and international education standards.
