Over 12,500 Educators Reached Through Day of AI Uzbekistan Initiative

Today, New Uzbekistan University hosted the closing ceremony and awards event of the Day of AI Uzbekistan project, implemented as part of the Day of AI program developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

As part of the initiative, 1,400 computer science teachers from all regions of Uzbekistan were trained as AI mentors. Through a cascade training model, these graduates subsequently delivered artificial intelligence knowledge and skills to 12,572 educators across 145 districts nationwide.

During the event, the project's achievements and impact were reviewed, and the most active participants were recognized for their contributions. It was also announced that 50 top-performing computer science teachers will receive an opportunity to participate in professional development training at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST).

The Day of AI Uzbekistan initiative has become an important step in strengthening AI literacy across the country, enhancing teachers’ professional competencies, and preparing the younger generation for a technology-driven future. The project contributes to the development of a modern education system equipped to meet the challenges and opportunities of the age of artificial intelligence.
