🏫 How are Polish #teachers experiencing the rise of generative #AI in the classroom?

A new NASK report, "Generative Artificial Intelligence in a Polish School. Paving the Way," reveals a nuanced picture: 81% of teachers worry about students becoming dependent on AI tools, citing risks such as reduced critical thinking and superficial learning. At the same time, many educators see real benefits, from saving time on lesson planning to supporting students with diverse learning needs.

The key takeaway? Schools need clearer guidelines, stronger digital competences, and an open conversation about how AI can support, rather than replace, meaningful human relationships in education.
