Report: China Aims to Lead in Artificial Intelligence Education
Sputnik News, Moscow, March 31 — According to the "World Education Policy-2025" report by the Higher School of Economics in Russia, China is striving to achieve global leadership in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) education.
The report states that by 2025, China has clearly declared its intent not only to become a significant player in the education sector but also to emerge as a world leader in AI education.
The report highlights that within just a few months, China has released three major documents related to AI in education—two guidelines on the use of AI in schools, and one document titled "Outline for the Planning of Building an Educational Powerhouse (2024–2035)." These documents clearly define the responsibilities of national and school-level institutions.
The report says: "Government agencies should establish a 'white list' allowing the use of tools, while setting data protection and ethical standards. Schools should develop their own AI application policies, avoiding either blanket bans or technological idolization. Teachers should enhance their AI literacy and determine when technology genuinely supports teaching and when it may cause distractions."
The authors of the report point out that while Europe in 2025 focuses on risk regulation and seeks a balance between innovation and the protection of civil rights, China adopts a more rigorous and systematic approach. In the Chinese model, AI is not an experiment—it is an integral part of planning. AI technologies have already been incorporated across all levels, from elementary classroom instruction to university administration and national innovation centers.
