AI can transform school education, minimise drudgery to improve quality

In recent months, the potential impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on education has been a matter of intense discussion, in particular, how generative AI (which generates new content) could change teaching and learning practices. Already, there is widespread concern that AI technology will lead to plagiarism by students.

There is no doubt that as AI makes deeper inroads into education systems, it will fundamentally change the current models of teaching and learning as the process moves into a case study approach that deploys practical projects. Here, a teacher need not spend time repeating or revising basic concepts and instead utilises classroom sessions to address queries related to student projects.
