National AI Campaign — Mongolia's Nationwide AI Teacher-Training Drive Across All 21 Provinces

AI Academy Asia launched Mongolia's National AI Campaign on 15 April 2025, a five-year (2025-2030) initiative backed by UNICEF Mongolia, M Bank and Golomt Bank, with the International Telecommunication Union's AI Skills Coalition also named as a partner. The campaign's stated goal is to train 250 AI specialists and 2,250 teachers — 2,500 professionals in total — to promote inclusive access to AI education and reduce Mongolia's digital divide.

The flagship 'Local AI Teachers' track ran the 'Train 500 AI Teachers' programme for two consecutive annual cohorts. The first 500 teachers graduated on 22-23 August 2025 after training that brought together educators from all 21 aimags (provinces), 330 soums and 9 districts. A second 500-teacher cohort launched on 28 February 2026, selected from 3,998 applicants. A parallel 'AI for Women 100x100' track, also backed by Golomt Bank, trained 100 female teachers and 100 girls in 2025.

The documented total reached 1,000 AI trainers by May 2026. Golomt Bank set a goal for these teachers to reach over 10,000 students in rural and local communities, though this is a stated target rather than a measured outcome. The campaign publishes reach and training-completion figures rather than independent learning-outcome evaluations: it promises an annual 'Impact Report' each December, but no publicly available student-learning results had appeared as of mid-2026.

Funding and governance are led by a private academy and corporate bank sponsors, with UNICEF Mongolia in an advisory/collaborative role rather than as a primary funder — a governance structure worth noting for anyone assessing sustainability beyond the initial five-year commitment.
