INTERVIEW: HOW SA SCHOOLS CAN PREPARE LEARNERS FOR AN AI FUTURE

 ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) IS TRANSFORMING ALL INDUSTRIES, INCLUDING HOW
WE TEACH AND LEARN. YET, A RECENT EDWEEK STUDY REVEALS THAT SCHOOLS
WORLDWIDE, INCLUDING THOSE IN SOUTH AFRICA, ARE LAGGING. MANY ARE
ADOPTING A WAIT-AND-SEE APPROACH LEAVING STUDENTS UNPREPARED FOR AN AI-
DRIVEN FUTURE OF WORK.
 THIS SKILLS GAP HAS SIGNIFICANT IMPLICATIONS. A 2024 WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM
REPORT ESTIMATES AI WILL CREATE NEARLY 100 MILLION NEW JOBS GLOBALLY BY
2030. THESE JOBS WILL REQUIRE A WORKFORCE EQUIPPED TO DEVELOP, MANAGE,
AND UTILISE AI EFFECTIVELY. SCHOOLS SLOW TO INCORPORATE AI INTO THEIR
CURRICULUM RISK LEAVING THEIR STUDENTS BEHIND NOT JUST EDUCATIONALLY, BUT
ALSO IN THE FUTURE JOB MARKET.
 STUDENTS AND PARENTS ECHO THIS CONCERN. TODAY WE LOOK AT THE FUTURE OF AI
IN SCHOOLS AND OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM
