In recent years, many Chinese cities, including Beijing, Guangzhou, and Chengdu, have begun planning to teach artificial intelligence (AI) in primary and secondary schools. These cities have made detailed plans to ensure students will learn about AI at different school stages.
Starting this fall, Beijing’s primary and secondary schools will offer at least eight AI class hours every year. Schools will be able to teach AI as a separate subject or combine (结合) it with other courses like information technology and science. They’ll cover the following key areas: basic AI concepts, real-world uses, technical methods, and ethics and society. Teacher Zhan from Chaoyang District noted that besides adding AI courses, teachers will also be able to use AI tools in class, such as applying AI to provide real-time feedback.
In Guangdong Province, different learning goals will be set for each school stage. For example, primary school students will learn basic AI ideas through fun activities. Junior high students will study how data, algorithms (算法), and computing power work together. High school students will focus on deeper machine learning concepts and AI trends. All students will also learn to use data tools and understand key AI technologies.
A high school in Chengdu is working with universities and companies to develop special STEM courses like robotics, computer science, math modeling, chemistry and materials, and future cities. Students will be encouraged to plan future careers based on their interests.
To evaluate students’ AI learning, schools will use tests, project exhibitions, and debates. Digital learning records will track progress. More AI labs will be built, leveraging (最优化使用) local tech resources to provide hands-on experience. With these efforts, Chinese students are expected to gain valuable AI knowledge and skills.
