Humanitas has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with IBA’s Center for Entrepreneurial Development (CED) to embed entrepreneurial thinking directly into its classrooms, helping students approach the world with creativity, resilience, and a drive to take action.

The signing, held between Muzaffar Bukhari, Founder Principal of Humanitas, and Dr. Lalarukh Ejaz, Director of IBA CED, marks a commitment to fostering a learning environment where curiosity leads to innovation and ideas are translated into real solutions.

Humanitas describes entrepreneurship in this context not as running a business, but as a way of seeing opportunities where others see obstacles. Through guided mentorship, real-world challenges, and hands-on projects, students will learn to identify problems worth solving, test potential solutions, and develop the confidence to shape the future they envision.

Parents have often wondered whether Humanitas students — known as “Hummingbirds” — would be ready for the real world after being nurtured in a low-pressure learning environment. This new collaboration aims to prove that readiness goes beyond memorizing facts; it’s about cultivating agency, critical thinking, and adaptability from an early age.

By integrating entrepreneurial principles into education, Humanitas and IBA CED are working to equip young learners with skills that go far beyond academics, preparing them not just to participate in the world, but to reimagine it.
