Under the theme "Artificial Intelligence and Education: Preserving Human Agency in an Automated World," Qatar Charity celebrates the International Day of Education 2025. This occasion highlights the crucial role of education in empowering individuals to understand rapid technological advancements, including artificial intelligence, and how to harness these innovations for the greater good of humanity.
Qatar Charity’s ongoing efforts to enhance education and provide learning environments that keep pace with the digital age stand at the forefront of this mission.
Through its diverse educational initiatives, Qatar Charity is dedicated to fostering technological skills among youth worldwide, ensuring they can thrive in the face of the accelerating digital revolution. A prime example of this is the Information Technology School project in Kyrgyzstan, which underscores Qatar Charity’s commitment to delivering advanced digital education that aligns with the evolving needs of today’s world.
Expanding the Horizons of Digital Education
As part of its efforts to promote technology-driven education, Qatar Charity recently inaugurated the Information Technology School in the Chuy Province of the Alamudin region in Kyrgyzstan.
Project Goals
Funded through the generous contributions of donors in Qatar, the project’s primary goal is to create a fully integrated educational environment that equips students with the advanced digital skills essential in today’s rapidly changing world. The new school building, which accommodates up to 150 students, was officially opened in the presence of senior government officials, local dignitaries, and Qatar Charity representatives. The facility spans two floors and includes eight state-of-the-art classrooms, a digital library, and a dedicated teacher’s lounge. All classrooms are outfitted with 100 computers, providing students with an optimal setting for studying information technology.
Engaging with the Digital Age
The new facility boasts cutting-edge technology that enables students to learn effectively in fields such as programming, web design, and artificial intelligence. These skills are becoming increasingly important in a job market that relies heavily on digital expertise. Qatar Charity’s vision is to ensure that students in Kyrgyzstan, and similar regions, have access to technology that will open new opportunities for their futures.
This initiative is part of Qatar Charity’s broader strategy to provide modern educational spaces centered around advanced technologies, empowering students to develop the digital skills needed to engage with and positively impact the world of tomorrow.
Artificial Intelligence: Challenges and Opportunities
On the International Day of Education, the conversation turns to the role of artificial intelligence in education and the importance of preserving human agency as technological advancements progress. Through projects like the Information Technology School in Kyrgyzstan, Qatar Charity seeks to empower future generations to confront these challenges head-on. Education, in this context, is not just about learning how to use digital tools, but also about understanding these technologies and guiding their development to benefit humanity and advance society.
By supporting such initiatives, Qatar Charity strives to strike a balance between artificial intelligence and human agency, ensuring that individuals play an active role in shaping technological development, rather than merely consuming it.
