Creation and implementation of a unified digital platform that tracks every child in the country from birth to graduation. This is a transition from fragmented paper reports to data-driven education management.

Key capabilities

Seamless tracking
Integration with civil registry databases allows tracking a child's path from birth, predicting the load on kindergartens, schools, and colleges.
Student's digital footprint
Real-time monitoring of academic performance, knowledge gaps, and aptitudes for each of the 3.5 million students.
Transparency & analytics
Bottom-up data collection (from diary grades to diplomas) eliminates data manipulation and provides a real picture of education quality.
Predictive models
The ability to model the shortage of student places and the need for personnel 5–10 years ahead.

Outcome

Education became transparent and measurable. The system does not just store data, but allows applying AI to build individual learning plans and proactively solve problems on a nationwide scale.
