Digital education initiatives ~~are evolving~~ continue to evolve through high literacy levels and increased artificial intelligence integration. In Hong Kong, PISA 2025 results indicate that students excel in ‘learning in a digital world’, scoring 545 points, which is above the international average. Despite this digital proficiency, declines in science, mathematics, and reading scores have prompted calls to reinforce foundational knowledge. Further data shows that AI adoption among Hong Kong teachers has reached 83%, outpacing the global average of 67%. Students are also heavily utilizing AI, with 71% using chatbots in class and 70% using them for homework. While these trends show high digital integration, educators have expressed concerns regarding mental health impacts from screen time and the difficulty of monitoring AI use. To address these shifts, new technologies like ‘Agentic LMS’ are being developed to integrate AI into school workflows while prioritizing data security through local, offline processing. In Kazakhstan, the government is addressing educational disparities between urban and rural areas through AI-driven pilot projects. Following data showing literacy and science gaps, initiatives in the Pavlodar and Kyzylorda regions aim to use AI tools to analyze student responses and identify knowledge gaps, with plans to expand to approximately 2,600 rural schools by 2028. Recent developments highlight emerging challenges in AI efficacy and literacy.
