Government to introduce AI-related student societies in schools


Cabinet approval has been granted to implement, as an initiative step, “Artificial Intelligence-related Student Societies” as a pilot project in 100 schools.

The project will be implemented with the participation of students from grades 6 to 9 and is expected to be expanded to other schools in the coming years based on the result of the pilot project. 

According to the government, it has been identified that it is appropriate to provide an opportunity for students to engage in studies relevant to artificial intelligence to create citizens who can face future global trends and contribute to economic development effectively. 

Accordingly, the Cabinet of Ministers approved the joint proposal presented by the President in his capacity as a Minister of Technology and Minister of Education to introduce “Artificial Intelligence-related Student Societies” to the Education System.
