Future of Schooling in an AI World

There has been intensive research on GenAI adoption in higher education, but less attention has been paid to school level education. The Future of Schooling in an AI World covers the emergence and evolution of generative AI, its connection to education, and the opportunities and challenges it presents in school contexts worldwide. Using unique data sources like the Delphi approach, scenario building, surveys, and follow-up interviews with global school leaders, the authors advocate for a vision of learning success for all children, highlighting the need for inclusivity and accessibility. To prepare students for real-world challenges in the AI era, it is crucial to start support and training at a young age. Therefore, policies, guidance, and practical examples at the school level are essential to ready schools for new technology. Chapters explore potential transformations for future education and school settings, and the implications for schools integrating generative AI. Serving as a professional learning resource for teachers, school leaders, policymakers, and education researchers, the book provides specific examples of how GenAI is transforming schools through a success for all, equity-based approach.
