‘AI to be a valuable tool in education’
The Hindu
Educators speak on role of AI and NEP in modern-day education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a valuable tool that will aid the future transformation of education, said educationists at a panel discussion on the ‘Role of Artificial Intelligence in schools and university education’.
The discussion was part of ‘Principals’ Meet 2021’ organised by the The Hindu and Validate Me, a technology company offering solutions in document verification. The meet saw several teachers, principals and heads of prominent educational institutions in Delhi-NCR converge for a day-long discussion on the New Education Policy (NEP), transformative forces in school education, how teachers and students could adapt to these changes, and the role of the Government.
Santosh Sarangi, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Education was the chief guest at the event. He said in his address that schools were not merely a medium of transferring knowledge but at the heart of developing the personalities of children. The New Education Policy (NEP) would track the learning abilities of children in early education. The curriculum would evolve in a way that there would be no hard separation between vocational and theoretical aspects of learning. “There must be as much emphasis on the arts and music as on traditional subjects,” he added.
