Educate the Child According to His Way (Proverbs 22:6) – Now It’s Possible

In recent years, the world of education has undergone fundamental changes thanks to technological advancement and “circumstantial” catalysts such as video conferencing technology (Zoom, Meet) during the COVID-19 pandemic, which accelerated remote learning and enabled the adoption of learning patterns that don’t depend on a physical classroom.

Now, with the maturation of Artificial Intelligence (AI), along with a global teacher shortage and challenges in teaching quality, we face a disruption that will enhance learning processes. The AI-driven transformation in education will redefine the roles of schools and teachers and reshape how learning success is measured. Just as the first change disrupted the physical framework, the current shift disrupts the synchronous teacher-student, student-student framework and enables personalized learning by pace, level, time, and environment.

The AI-Driven Transformation in Education: Key Features

Personalized Learning

One of AI’s main advantages is its ability to adapt learning to each student’s unique needs. AI-powered platforms analyze student performance, identify strengths and weaknesses, and offer tailored content, exercises, or assessments. Additionally, educational bots can serve as personal mentors, supporting both students and teachers.

The New Role of Schools

Traditional schools are no longer merely places for frontal knowledge transfer. The AI-driven transformation shifts their role to spaces where students develop social skills, collaborate on projects, and learn critical and creative thinking. Theoretical learning content, however, is delivered through personalized digital formats.

Transformation in the Teacher’s Role

Artificial intelligence doesn’t replace teachers but enhances their capabilities. AI helps identify students needing personal guidance, track their progress, and provide feedback. Moreover, teachers can focus on teaching soft skills such as problem-solving, teamwork, and creative thinking – essential skills for success in the modern world.

Smart Digital Content Creation

Educational content remains a central challenge in the digital revolution in education. Generative AI can help create context-specific content automatically, offer intelligent recommendations, and link content providers with teachers’ and students’ needs. This enables tailored content creation for any learning environment—frontal, online, or hybrid—while leveraging diverse media formats.

Automated Learning Environments

AI-powered automation tools improve educational system management, from student assessments and resource allocation to instant feedback. Teachers can save time on test evaluation and dedicate more time to personal mentoring.

What is Required for Success in the AI-Driven Education Transformation

The Importance of Effective Embedding of AI Learning Skills

Proper embedding of AI learning skills is critical for both students and teachers. For students, technological tools can cultivate skills such as independent learning, complex problem-solving, and intelligent information use. For teachers, AI presents an opportunity to enhance teaching methods, adapt to a rapidly changing world, and become guides and mentors rather than simply delivering theoretical content. Success in this integration depends on teacher training and the development of enabling infrastructure.

Challenges and Ethics in Using AI in Education

Alongside its benefits, AI systems present inherent challenges. Safeguarding student privacy, preventing bias replication, and ensuring equitable technology use must be priorities for policymakers and educators. Addressing these issues responsibly will ensure the ethical and fair use of AI technologies in education.

The Key to Student Success

Ultimately, student success relies on a balanced combination of technology and human touch. AI can offer powerful tools to improve education, but teachers and the educational system as a whole must remain at the heart of the process.

In Israel, the Ministry of Education has been addressing the challenge of AI in education for several years, exploring its great potential and ways to realize it.
“AI for All” is a national initiative centered on implementing AI skills for everyone in the education system—students, educational staff, and ministry headquarters. As part of the initiative, culminating in February 2025, volunteering mentors from the high-tech ecosystem are recruited to support educational teams in schools. The mentoring program focuses on making technology accessible.
