IT EDUCATION ASSOCIATION

The first day of our visit within the framework of the 2026 Sixth Annual Meeting of the Global Education Coalition, currently taking place in France, has successfully concluded.

During the day, our association actively participated as a member of the newly established Alliance of Alliances of the Global Education Coalition, advancing its position on educational reforms in Central Asia and Uzbekistan, education development, IT standardization, and establishing partnerships with global companies.

Additionally, the first day included several important workshops, practical seminars, and meetings. These interactions facilitated experience-sharing with international organizations and member institutions, defined new directions for cooperation, and helped form joint initiatives.

In particular, practical solutions for integrating digital transformation and artificial intelligence into the education system, as well as developing IT education based on global standards, were discussed.

Based on the results of the first day, key directions were outlined to deepen international cooperation and take the quality of education in our region to a new level.

This is just the beginning. Many more productive meetings lie ahead.

We remind you that the IT Education Association is currently participating in UNESCO’s 2026 Sixth Annual Meeting of the Global Education Coalition in France, attended by leading global leaders, policymakers, and education sector representatives.

Stay tuned for updates.

The IT Education Association is taking part in a prestigious international event organized by UNESCO — the Global Education Coalition Sixth Annual Meeting (2026).

The meeting, held in Paris, focuses on discussing the socio-economic impact of digital transformation and investments in artificial intelligence in the field of education. Leading global organizations, policymakers, and education experts have come together to define the key priorities for the future of education systems.

This participation is especially significant for us, as our association has become one of the first organizations from Central Asia to be invited to this global initiative.

It is not only a great honor, but also clear recognition of our efforts to develop IT education, expand digital skills, and create new opportunities for young people in the region at the international level.

We aim to further expand international cooperation, learn from best global practices, and implement them in our country to continuously improve the quality of education.
