IA report badges in AI education for 2025
In times of change and innovation, the need for information and examples of impact becomes more and more important. This is why we share the AI ​​report in the education of AI 2025 which highlights the main conclusions through the use, concerns and opportunities of AI alongside learning and the progress of global institutions.
According to the report, AI in education is increasing daily with more than 80% of the educators interviewed using AI this year, up 21 points compared to last year, because its role extends from a single assistant to a partner of thought and a multiplier of force. At the same time, approximately one in three questioned the educators of the United States K-12 are still lacking in confidence in the use of effective and responsible AI and more than half of the students questioned indicate that they did not receive any AI training.1
It is essential to get involved with students, educators and all stakeholders in the community to meet the challenges, learn together and co-develop the way to follow. In addition, we must collectively prepare for a future powered by AI and help students develop the relevant skills of AI as each industry and discipline are evolving. Read the report for an overview and even more information.
Teachers say: “I need training, it must be of high quality, relevant and plunged to employment …” In reality, people need advice and that means that teachers and administrators go through professional development.
