Kazakhstan to test AI-powered textbooks in schools
New initiative integrates adaptive learning and AI literacy into national education system
ASTANA, Kazakhstan (MNTV) — Kazakhstan is set to introduce pilot projects featuring AI-powered digital textbooks in schools, as part of its broader efforts to integrate artificial intelligence into the national education system, the government announced following a meeting between Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov and local IT developers.
Developers from Paradigm Shift (CodiPlay) presented two key projects — AI Kitap and OlympIQ — aimed at modernizing learning and training processes through data-driven technology.
AI Kitap is an adaptive platform that customizes lessons based on individual student progress, identifies learning gaps, and adjusts teaching materials accordingly. The system is being integrated with Astana IT University for testing and refinement.
The second project, OlympIQ, is designed to enhance sports performance by collecting and analyzing training, medical, and performance data from athletes. Pilot schools and sports organizations have been selected to trial both platforms in the coming months.
This initiative builds on Kazakhstan’s recent introduction of AI lessons within “Digital Literacy” and “Computer Science” classes, which now teach students to process images, understand algorithms, and develop basic AI competencies.
“It’s crucial to teach students to ask the right questions and think critically, since neural networks can make mistakes,” said Aida Abilyakimova of the Altynsarin Center for Strategy and Analysis. “Alongside risks, AI offers many creative opportunities.”
Officials say the pilot phase will inform the national rollout of AI-assisted learning materials in the coming academic years, positioning Kazakhstan as one of Central Asia’s leaders in educational innovation.
