In a major education reform, the UK government has announced a plan to provide free AI-powered tools to state schools by 2026. These tools will help personalize learning for students and automate administrative tasks for teachers.
The Department for Education (DfE) is partnering with top ed-tech firms to deploy software that can adapt to students’ learning styles, identify weaknesses, and generate targeted content. A pilot across 100 schools showed a 12% improvement in literacy and math scores.
Education boards in India and Bangladesh are observing the UK’s public-private collaboration model, particularly as NEP 2020 encourages tech integration in classrooms. Experts say such AI platforms could revolutionize government schools in South Asia too.
