Ministry of Education AI Challenge Exploring how AI can strengthen education service delivery in practice with ministries of education AI has the potential to transform education, but only if it is used responsibly and effectively. Through EdTech Hub’s AI Observatory and our exciting Ministry of Education AI Challenge, we are working with governments to explore practical applications, assess risks and…
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…
AI in education has huge potential, but it also brings new risks. Without thoughtful design, AI could widen the learning divide rather than close it. Many education ministries may struggle to assess the effectiveness and safety of emerging AI tools, and policy frameworks are often still in development. The AI Observatory was set up to help address this challenge. We…
This blog discusses the conversation from a Community of Interest event on Artificial Intelligence in Education, a collaboration by the World Bank and EdTech Hub. AI is reshaping education — from teaching to learning to administration and beyond. What readiness looks like rapidly changes day-to-day, context dependent. To help close opportunity gaps in the age of AI, the World Bank…
