From Policy To Practice: National Strategies To Scale AI In Education
The next phase of AI in education will be decided not by the sophistication of the technology, but by the quality of the systems built around it.
- China's 2025 mandate required all primary schools to teach AI literacy, reaching over 150 million students within two years and embedding AI as a core subject.
- South Korea invested $1.8 billion in AI-powered tutoring systems for underperforming schools, targeting a 30% reduction in educational inequality by 2027.
- Finland embedded AI literacy as a transversal skill in its national core curriculum, training 100,000 teachers through a modular online programme launched in 2024.
