Infrastructure requirements

The guide calls a solid technology foundation a prerequisite for successful AI literacy.

Hardware and softwarep.66

Schools are encouraged to provide laptops or tablets via computer labs, device trolleys or an orderly BYOD policy. All devices must use a modern web browser and security software kept up to date.

How success gets measured

Four key performance indicators

  1. 1Percentage of educators completing AI literacy trainingp.69
  2. 2Number of AI-integrated teaching best-practice sharingsp.69
  3. 3Improvement in scores on student digital literacy and ethics surveysp.69
  4. 4Number of AI-based innovation projects producedp.69

Monitoring mechanisms p.69

  • Periodic reports from schools and institutions
  • Online or field surveys
  • Engagement sessions
  • Monitoring or support visits by District, State and Ministry officers

Realising the vision depends entirely on the collective commitment and action of all parties.p.69
