Education system and school leaders from across the world are facing a huge challenge – and a huge opportunity – to transform their systems in the face of digital disruption. As data, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and use of machine learning become more pervasive in society, work and life, educators are seeking to address the changes that this implies. The modern workplace demands new types of student skills, like creativity, problem solving and computational thinking – while students themselves have a wider variety of needs, increasing the complexity of classroom teaching.
Education leaders agreed that AI, analytics and data are opportunities for the education system to evolve more quickly. Microsoft, through the Education Transformation Framework and the launch of AI Business School for Education, is helping education leaders put in place the building blocks of system-level and school-level strategy for change.
