China's 'AI+ Education' action plan

In a strategic push for digital supremacy, China's Ministry of Education has unveiled a comprehensive blueprint for AI-driven learning.

The plan mandates the use of AI tools for preparing lessons, marking homework, and personalized student support across all levels of schooling.

Officials believe the move will help bridge the educational divide between urban and rural areas while equipping the next generation with essential niche skills.

The initiative comes as China seeks to build a 'token economy' and lead the world in real-world AI applications despite ongoing U.S. export controls.
