AI is being utilized in education to personalize learning experiences for students needing additional support, such as young carers and refugees learning English. Schools employ AI to translate materials and create accessible learning tools. While 50% of teachers are using generative AI, research reveals 64% of non-users lack the knowledge for implementation, with 35% expressing concerns about associated risks. The UK government plans to adopt AI to enhance efficiency for educators and improve student-teacher relationships, despite the wavering confidence among a significant portion of the teaching workforce.
Several leaders highlighted how AI allowed teachers to personalise and adapt resources, activities and teaching for different groups of pupils, including, in a couple of instances, young carers and refugee children with English as an additional language.
AI was used to assist children who may need extra help due to life circumstances with a view to levelling the playing field.
Research conducted by the Department for Education found that half of teachers are already using generative artificial intelligence, but 64% of the remaining half aren't sure how to use it.
The UK government's education plans include using AI to save teachers time, ensure children get the best education possible, and grow the connection between students and teachers.
