Around 50 school principals from Kazakhstan's Keleshek Mektepteri (Future Schools) project completed an international seminar on artificial intelligence in education in Urumqi, China, the Kazakh Ministry of Enlightenment said. The training focused on digital tools and management practices that Kazakhstan plans to adapt for its own schools.
During the seminar, the principals exchanged experiences with Chinese educators and reviewed best practices from leading schools. Topics included education management systems, digital solutions, and ways to use AI tools in the learning process. The program also covered cooperation models between schools and higher education institutions.
What happens next
Kazakhstan intends to introduce the practices gradually across Keleshek Mektepteri schools. The ministry said professional cooperation between Kazakh and Chinese educational organizations will continue as part of that effort.
For educators looking to build similar skills, resources on AI for Education cover practical classroom applications and school management tools.
"Developing teachers' digital skills and integrating international experience into Kazakhstan's education system remain among its key priorities," the ministry said.
The seminar is one piece of a broader bilateral agenda. Earlier, Qazinform reported that Kazakhstan and China reviewed their overall cooperation and discussed regional issues.
Why this matters for education professionals
School leaders in Kazakhstan are treating AI adoption as a management priority, not just a classroom experiment. The seminar's focus on cooperation between schools and universities suggests that effective AI integration depends on institutional partnerships, not individual teacher effort. AI Learning Path for School Principals offers a structured approach for leaders who need to evaluate these tools and decide where they fit.
