Signals of the week: Enabling PPPs, learner repercussions, and “digital belonging” Each week, we spotlight signals of change in AI and education – and consider what they might mean for the future of learning in low- and middle-income countries. Using the Three Horizons framework, we track what’s beginning to upgrade existing systems, what may soon disrupt the status quo, and…
This blog discusses the conversation from a Community of Interest (COI) event on Artificial Intelligence in Education, a collaboration by the World Bank and EdTech Hub. The emergence of Generative AI is challenging traditional approaches to the development of teaching and learning materials in education systems around the world. AI-powered tools are transforming traditional models of curriculum design and assessment,…
Signals of the week: Homegrown tools, shared metrics, and rethinking quality Each week, we spotlight signals of change in AI and education – and consider what they might mean for the future of learning in the Global South. Using the Three Horizons framework, we track what’s beginning to upgrade existing systems, what may soon disrupt the status quo, and what…
10 scenarios for education in 2035 Join us on a journey to reimagine our research agenda through strategic foresight The future is arriving fast, and education systems must keep pace. That’s why EdTech Hub has partnered with IDRC’s EmpowerED programme to help education systems respond to two drivers of change over the next 10 years. Developments in artificial intelligence: Generative…
Each week, we sift through the noise to spotlight early signals of change in AI and education. We track what’s happening now—and what it could mean for the future of learning in the Global South. Through this, we hope you can anticipate where change might be headed, and help steer it toward equitable learning outcomes in the age of AI.…
Three bright spots in AI and education today and what it could mean for the future AI is transforming education, and every day we are seeing more use cases emerging across the Global South. How can we ensure that, as we explore the possibilities of AI in education, its role remains both inclusive and equitable? Let’s look at some interesting…
Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the education sector and reshaping how development partners engage with it. To ensure AI supports—not undermines—efforts to address the global learning crisis, education funders need more than awareness of new tools. They need a deeper understanding of the AI evidence landscape, practical experience integrating AI in real-world education systems, and the capacity to engage confidently…
Teacher-in-the-loop Creating space for the voice of teachers in the age of AI At EdTech Hub’s AI Observatory, we’re creating space to hear directly from teachers in the Global South about their experiences, concerns, and hopes around AI in education. Through our Teacher-in-the-Loop survey, we’re amplifying teacher voices to inform global conversations. Over time, we’ll use this page to share…
Teachers in the Age of AI As AI continues to reshape the landscape of education, it’s more crucial than ever to ensure that teachers’ voices are part of the conversation. Teachers are the ones directly experiencing the impact of AI in their classrooms, from the tools they use to the ways in which they interact with students. Yet, despite their…
Reimagining Education Service Delivery with AI AI is already reshaping the world—and education is no exception. But while the potential is massive, so are the risks. If we’re not careful, AI could deepen inequalities instead of reducing them. In honour of launching the AI Observatory’s Ministry of Education AI Challenge, this #WaypointWednesdays we are celebrating bright spots of institutions testing…
