During a plenary session of the Jogorku Kenesh (Parliament of Kyrgyzstan) on May 20, 2026, MP Taalaibek Sarybashov urged the integration of artificial intelligence education into the Kyrgyz school system, citing the need to keep pace with global technological advancements.
Sarybashov noted that the Minister of Education and Science already understands current global AI trends and is working to integrate AI into the curriculum. Additionally, from 2026, teachers will be provided with laptops to ease their workload, and AI will assist with lesson planning.
This parliamentary call reflects growing political momentum for AI education in schools, but no binding curriculum mandate has been issued. The statement is advisory in nature and does not yet elevate dimension 2 (binding mandate). However, it signals increasing attention to dimension 1 (AI literacy curriculum exists) as a policy priority at the highest legislative level.
Context: A separate parliamentary development reported in April 2026 involved the Jogorku Kenesh introducing the e-Kenesh digital platform using AI to help analyze draft legislation.
