Cambridge Report Calls for Teachers in India’s AI Education
A new report says teachers should help decide how artificial intelligence is used in Indian schools.
Teachers understand what works in real classrooms, so policymakers should listen to them.
The report says teachers need training to use AI safely and effectively.
Students and teachers should also help test and improve AI tools.
Schools should teach students to question whether AI answers are accurate.
AI should help learning rather than let students avoid doing the work themselves.
The report recommends ethical rules, safety protections and fair access to good AI tools.
It says people should remain at the centre of education.
A Cambridge University Press & Assessment report urges Indian policymakers to involve teachers in shaping AI education policy.
The report calls for greater investment in teacher professional learning so educators can use and critically assess AI tools.
Teachers and learners should help design, procure, implement and evaluate generative AI tools, it says.
Recommendations include critical AI literacy in curricula, human-centred outcomes, ethical use and strong safeguards.
The report also stresses protecting teacher judgement and ensuring equitable access to high-quality AI tools.
