BEIJING, May 13 (Xinhua) — China will establish a multi-tiered system of comprehensive artificial intelligence (AI) education programs covering primary, first- and second-grade middle schools across the country to guide students from gaining fundamental cognitive knowledge to practical technological innovation, according to policy documents released Monday.
At the primary school level, China’s Ministry of Education (MOE) prioritizes AI literacy by introducing basic technologies such as voice recognition and image classification.
Building on the foundation of this cognitive aspect, junior high school students will deepen their understanding of AI logic, explore machine learning processes, and develop critical thinking to identify the risk of misinformation in AI-generated results.
In the upper secondary school, the focus shifts to applied innovation. Students will use their accumulated knowledge of AI to develop and improve AI algorithm models while developing interdisciplinary systems thinking.
To achieve these goals, the Ministry of Education and Science of the People’s Republic of China will promote the inclusion of professional skills in pedagogy and teaching using AI in the teacher training system, calling on schools to develop differentiated content curricula and practical assignments in accordance with the age characteristics and stages of cognitive development of schoolchildren.
Notably, the Chinese Ministry of Education and Science emphasizes the pedagogical potential of generative AI. “Teachers can use generative AI tools to deploy interactive learning and create immersive teaching experiences,” said an official in charge of the basic education segment of the Chinese Ministry of Education and Science.
He also called for practically strengthening students’ ability to make logical inferences and enhancing their level of innovative thinking through AI-based interactive learning.
At the same time, the Ministry of Defense of the People’s Republic of China emphasized that students are strictly prohibited from directly copying content created by AI as homework or answers to exam questions. At the same time, the department requires teachers at the aforementioned educational institutions to develop students’ ability to think critically about the results of AI work and practically increase their level of independence in processing information. -0-
