Section 1

Analysis of the current state of the education system

1.1 General characteristics

The source document describes a large education system serving more than 2.4 million learners through more than 4,050 general schools, 82 secondary vocational institutions, 48 higher education institutions and 795 pre-school institutions. It highlights uneven quality, regional gaps, and heavy administrative dependence on incomplete or slow-moving data.

1.2 Digital infrastructure and technological readiness

Connectivity and infrastructure are improving, but the ministry still lacks a unified data management platform and broad practical experience with cloud tools, analytics and AI systems. This is why the concept starts with diagnostics rather than immediate scale-up.
