7.4b How can AI be responsibly and equitably integrated into education systems in LMICs, ensuring effectiveness, safety and sustainability for learners, teachers and school leaders?
Background
There is a widespread learning crisis. By 2030, trends indicate that over half school-aged children will not master basic literacy and numeracy. Globally, two-thirds of children are currently in school and will reach the end of primary school but not achieve minimum proficiency levels in reading. In addition, many countries are facing multiple, overlapping crises—including conflict, climate change, and political instability. These crises are impacting education systems, especially for marginalised groups. FCDO research is filling evidence gaps on how to strengthen national education systems including in the context of poly-crisis, education in conflict and crisis, education technology and early childhood development, understanding how to build climate-smart education systems, and how to invest in human capital for better climate outcomes.
