How to do the digital marketing course in Pakistan?

Whilst there are hundreds of tech institutes in Pakistan. Many claim to be teaching digital marketing. However, upon my recent visit to Pakistan, I interviewed many students who were doing digital marketing course in Pakistan. None of them knew anything about digital marketing. This shows how bad the state of education is in Pakistan. Other students I spoke to were learning web development, graphic design, video editing and IT skills from other institutes in Pakistan didn’t know much about these either.

Firstly, I call upon the government of Pakistan to crack down on dodgy institutes looting the general public.

Secondly, I ask the owners of these institutes to have mercy upon the youth of Pakistan. They are coming to make their futures better but all you’re doing is collecting fees and teaching nothing.

Finally, I request all the parents and students to do all your checks before choosing an institute for your course. Not every institute is genuine. Only choose the institutes that are actually working with real businesses.
