How AI Is Revolutionizing Classrooms in Kazakhstan Without Replacing Teachers

What if AI could handle paperwork while teachers inspire deeper thinking? One Kazakh innovator is making it happen—with 7,000 educators already on board. Her method turns classrooms into dynamic spaces where mistakes fuel growth, not fear.

The image shows an open book with a cartoon of a man in a suit and tie standing in front of a classroom full of children, some of whom are sitting on chairs and some are standing on the floor. On the table in the center of the room there are books, papers, and other objects, and on the right side of the image there is a blackboard with text written on it.

How AI Is Revolutionizing Classrooms in Kazakhstan Without Replacing Teachers

Aida Abilyamimova, an AI expert and founder of Qalamedutech, is transforming education in Kazakhstan with technology. She argues that artificial intelligence can cut down on teachers’ administrative work, giving them more time to focus on lesson planning and student assessment. Her methods have already reached over 7,000 educators across the country. Abilyamimova’s approach integrates AI into classrooms to create a more interactive and personalised learning experience. In her English classes, students practised conversational skills by engaging in historical dialogues with an AI assistant. This method allowed them to work on grammar, vocabulary, and context at the same time, receiving instant feedback without the fear of making mistakes.

She does not see AI as a replacement for teachers, however. According to her, technology lacks the ability to understand student emotions, struggles, or the nuances of a classroom. Instead, she envisions teachers taking on a new role—as facilitators of critical thinking rather than the only source of knowledge.

Her training programmes emphasise cognitive skills such as analysing information, questioning assumptions, and constructing strong arguments. Abilyamimova predicts that education will increasingly move towards personalised learning paths, where students develop skills like navigating uncertainty and evaluating data independently. With over 7,000 teachers already trained in her methods, Abilyamimova’s work is reshaping how technology supports learning. Her model shifts the focus from rote instruction to fostering independent thinking, while AI handles routine tasks. The goal is to create a more dynamic classroom where teachers guide rather than dictate.
