In a move that reflects the growing importance of AI in society, UNESCO has declared that the International Day of Education 2025 will be centered around artificial intelligence in education. The organization is urging governments around the world to equip both educators and students with the skills and understanding necessary to use AI tools ethically, creatively, and safely.

UNESCO highlighted both the promise and the peril of AI in schools—from personalized learning experiences to algorithmic bias and data privacy concerns. With tools like ChatGPT and Khanmigo entering classrooms globally, the emphasis is now on responsible implementation, teacher training, and policies to ensure that educational AI supports human values and inclusivity.
