PARIS — Armenia once again took the global stage at UNESCO’s Digital Learning Week 2025 in Paris, presenting its Generation AI High School Project as a national model for AI education. It was the second consecutive year Armenia was invited to share its program at UNESCO’s flagship event on digital learning and education.
From September 2–5, global policymakers, experts, and educators gathered under the theme “AI and the Future of Education: Disruptions, Dilemmas and Directions.” The conference examined how AI is transforming pedagogy, curricula, and governance, while also raising complex questions around equity, ethics, and human agency in education.
The Armenian delegation was led by Deputy Minister of Armenia’s Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports Arthur Martirosyan, who participated in the Opening Ministerial Session on September 2 alongside global counterparts presenting national strategies for AI education.
“Advanced AI education is becoming a part of the school curriculum, creating an opportunity for Armenian students to be not only users of technology, but also creators and innovators in the AI field,” Martirosyan said.
Following the session, Suzanna Shamakhyan, executive director of the Foundation for Armenian Science and Technology (FAST), presented Armenia’s experience with the foundation’s flagship Generation AI program, launched in 2023 in partnership with the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports of Armenia.
Her remarks highlighted the program’s three years of nationwide impact, integration of AI curricula in public high schools, alignment with global frameworks, and the strength of a public–private partnership model supported by the diaspora.
