Politics
Ulaanbaatar, January 20, 2026 /MONTSAME/. Prime Minister Zandanshatar Gombojav is attending the 56th World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland. On the sidelines of his participation in the event, the Prime Minister met with the Secretary-General of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Doreen Bogdan-Martin.
At the meeting, the PM highlighted that as part of Mongolia’s
education reform, shifting from teaching-centered to learning-centered approaches,
the country will introduce artificial intelligence and foundational technology
subjects into the education curriculum starting from the next academic year. He
said that in this context, Mongolia is cooperating with Google and the Google
Gemini Academy to help teachers learn how to effectively use artificial intelligence.
By Government Resolution No. 130 of 2025, the “Medle” digital
general education school has been established. Beginning next academic year, children
from around the world will be able to study their native language, national culture,
heritage, and history through this platform. Additionally, efforts are underway to develop
AI-based teacher assistants and personalized assistants tailored to each
student’s individual needs.
Within the framework of cooperation launched in 2023, more
than 100 thousand teachers and students are currently using Google Workspace
for Education and the Google Classroom platform to expand their knowledge.
Moreover, a pilot program to introduce an AI assistant for teachers is planned
for April this year with the support of the World Bank.
The ITU plans to organize a regional seminar in Ulaanbaatar
later this year, and the two sides agreed to further cooperate in improving the
quality and accessibility of Mongolia’s education sector through the use of
artificial intelligence and digital technologies.
The ITU is a specialized agency of the United Nations responsible for developing policies, standards, and regulations in the global information and communication technology sector.
