Enhancing the Teaching Profession with Digital Teacher Support Tools
The education landscape in Europe is facing a critical shortage of teachers, creating an impending crisis in countries such as Germany, Portugal, Italy, and France. “Almost all countries in Europe are facing significant teacher shortages. For instance, there will be a shortfall of 25,000 teachers in Germany by 2025 and 30,000 in Portugal by 2030, according to national estimates, while there are currently 4,000 vacant teaching posts in France. This is mainly due to a lack of new teacher candidates and upcoming mass retirements given that, for example, at the primary school level, 60% of teachers are over 50 in Italy, 37% in Germany, 42% in Portugal, 36% in Sweden and 23% in France. This shortage stems from the lack of incoming teaching candidates coupled with the anticipated mass retirements of experienced educators. Policy changes are imperative to make the teaching profession more appealing, but in this digital age, innovative solutions like digital teacher support tools offer a promising way forward”.

Maya, our revolutionary AI-powered tutor, is poised to reshape the educational landscape. This concept note outlines our strategy to harness the power of AI to transform learning and teaching. We aim to achieve a more personalized and efficient education system, ultimately enhancing learning outcomes.
Background: Concept Note Maya AI Tutor
Over the years, we’ve witnessed several digital revolutions, from personal computers to the growth of the internet, the advent of social media, and the prevalence of mobile computing. These transformations have rapidly altered the way we live, teach, and learn, causing us to spend more time in digital realms than in offline interactions.
Now, the stage is set for another revolution, one that may eclipse its predecessors in significance:the AI revolution. AI, powered by synthetic neural networks and large language models, is making strides in simulating complex human-like conversation, a domain once solely within the purview of human beings. This shift forces us to reconsider the foundations of our education systems.
These developments pose fundamental questions for education. What role will educators play in a world where AI tools are ubiquitous? How will assessments evolve in the face of AI’s ability to excel in examinations? As generative AI increasingly bridges the gap between human and machine intelligence, our education systems must adapt. What skills, perspectives, and competencies should we cultivate in students as human and machine intelligence become more intertwined? We find ourselves at a juncture where education should take center stage in shaping our response to these transformative technologies.

65% of Students in School will enter into jobs that don’t exist today. 42% of Core Skills in all jobs will be replaced by AI. There is also the longstanding concern about the low rate of female participation in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) studies and consequently STEM careers.
AI Skilling will be a key enabler for the attainment of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. AI is impacting all aspects of society, from how we learn to how we drive to healthcare innovations. AI will enable applications and processes to get smarter thus increasing the benefit to society. According to an Accenture analysis, “AI has the potential to add US$957 billion, or 15 percent of current gross value added, to India’s economy in 2035. To avoid missing out on this opportunity, policymakers and business leaders must prepare for, and work toward, the AI revolution. While AI Technologies are Transforming Societies worldwide, the Lack of AI Skills is the number one challenge this Transformation faces. A Digital Divide is fast developing between the Haves and the Have-nots, which needs to be urgently bridged. To achieve AI’s potential, both boys and girls, men and women need equal access to AI education and careers.
WiselyWise understands that the clear solution for bridging this gap can be found in our schools and colleges as well as corporations through Skilling programs. This Concept Note on AI Education Program underscores the fact that the need of the hour is to educate students at an early age about how to be creators of AI, not just consumers of AI.
