Kasakhstan innfører AI i skolesystemet

The government will adopt an action plan for the period 2026–2029 by July 1, with measures for the widespread use of AI in schools. The plan will include, among other things, adapted teaching, digital infrastructure, teacher training and the protection of students' personal data, the presidential office Akorda said.

The decree also refers to recommendations from AI expert Kai-Fu Lee in implementing the reform. The government will submit proposals for a pilot project by June 1, which could later be expanded nationally.

The authorities say the reform will also help reduce differences in educational quality between schools in cities and rural areas.

By August 1, the pilot schools will receive the necessary technical equipment and access to high-speed internet. By September 1, national standards for the use of AI in schools will be in place, along with a program for continuing education for teachers.

The authorities emphasize that AI should function as a support tool in teaching and not replace the role of teachers.
