Artificial Intelligence, Ministry of Education: It will be part of the school curriculum

As the use of artificial intelligence by young people becomes inevitable, the challenge is no longer to stop it, but to educate them on how to use it properly.

Maintaining ethics, developing critical thinking, and using AI responsibly are essential to achieve this, which is why the Ministry of Education has decided to intervene through changes to school curricula.

Through the Digital Agenda for Education 2025-2030 action plan, the aim is to promote the use of AI in educational institutions for personalized learning.

High school students at “Qemal Stafa,” who are participating in a pilot AI project after official school hours, report that the program has brought them tangible benefits.

“Then I mostly use artificial intelligence for study purposes. I usually do the exercises myself, but I can use AI to correct them and see where I made mistakes, not to take ready-made answers directly,” said Denis Prendi, a 12th-grade student.

“The AI club has helped us because it made us engage more with problem-solving and develop our thinking skills, because coding and programming are not just about writing some lines of code, but also about thinking and following a specific algorithm,” said Suar Lile, a 10th-grade student.

Some students have even created various programs that can serve their peers, such as chatbots for school subjects or educational applications.

“In the many activities and competitions I have participated in, I have created some platforms based on real situations we were given, and we found solutions. Through these platforms, we aim to bring innovation,” said Israjla Kërkuti, an 11th-grade student.

For teachers, integrating advanced technology into curricula is equally essential.

“What is most important in this project is that ethics is discussed all the time the role of ethics in any project or direction we choose to work on. This is very important because it makes students aware of being correct in everything they do or the information they receive and want to develop. Just as AI provides solutions, it also presents challenges, which we try to detail so that students don’t rely entirely on AI, but use it as a tool,” said Elena Sulo, a teacher.

The Ministry of Education’s Action Plan foresees the development and implementation of guidelines and practical cases for the use of generative AI (GenAI), while within five years, ICT classes will also include knowledge about artificial intelligence. The plan also includes mandatory training for all pre-university teachers in the field of digital pedagogy.
