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.
| Competence | Coverage | Assessment | Target |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic ICT literacy | 65% | Medium | Increase to 90% |
| Working with cloud services | 30% | Beginner | Up to 80% |
| Data analysis and statistics | 20% | Beginner | Increase to 70% |
| Understanding AI capabilities | 15% | Awareness | Increase to 85% |
| Practical application of AI | 5% | Minimum | Increase to 60% |
| Cybersecurity | 25% | Beginner | Up to 75% |
| Data management | 20% | Beginner | Increase to 70% |
1.3 International context and global trends
The document references fast growth in AI-enabled education markets and positions Tajikistan alongside regional examples such as Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. UNESCO's framing of AI in education is used as the benchmark, with the first phase prioritising administrative automation and data analytics.
