Complement, Not Replace

Policy–makers insist AI will aid, not replace, teachers by automating repetitive tasks. Initiatives like the £3 M content store and Innovate UK funding focus on upskilling educators and piloting AI solutions like Oak National Academy’s Aila lesson assistant, reported to save 3–4 hours per week

Inclusive Learning & Oversight

AI is especially helpful for special needs—adaptable tutoring for dyslexic students, per UK Tech Secretary Peter Kyle. However, human oversight remains critical, and regulations are being updated to address ethical AI use, including copyright and data protection
