Education Ministry Launches AI Learning Platform For Maths And English
The Ministry of Education has unveiled a new AI Math and English resource platform for Secondary School students, a move that aims to ease learning, expand access, and empower the next generation through artificial intelligence.
At Tuesday’s launch of the AI Math and English Resource Platform at the Moruga Secondary School, Minister of Culture and Community Development and Member of Parliament for Moruga/Tableland, Michelle Benjamin, emphasised that the initiative will ease financial burdens for parents while providing physical relief for students.
« When September comes, parents no longer have to rush to purchase books. It will also ease the physical burden on students having to tote these heavy books. »
She also outlined several other key initiatives her Ministry plans to implement within the Moruga constituency.
« I am working tirelessly to get programmes like YTEPP and NESC back into the constituency of Moruga/Tableland. That is my commitment to my students. I see you and I want the best for you. »
Also speaking at the launch, Minister of Education Dr. Michael Dowlath highlighted special features of the tool, including online and offline learning, an avatar to assist with academic work, and two digital textbooks aligned with the national curriculum, ensuring students and parents know exactly which topics must be covered from Form 1 to Form 5.
« By the end of this academic year, by the end of this term, we are adding four more digital books: Science, IT Information Technology, Social Studies and Spanish and by August of this year, students, when you go in to Form Two, we will have those four books ready for you. »
Ensuring that no child is left behind, the Education Minister added that the platform will also cater to students with learning disabilities.
« We are working with those organisations that support the visual and the hearing impaired, and so all of our programmes, all of the digital books will be used by students who have those learning challenges. »
Minister Dowlath noted that with the introduction of these tools, parents of Form 1 and Form 2 students will save between $1,000 and $1,500, which would otherwise be spent on textbooks in the next academic year.
Students and parents were also encouraged to make full use of the learning platform.
