Better well-being for teachers
In 2022/23, around 40,000 teachers in the UK resigned from state schools - representing around 9% of all teachers in the country. The use of AI in education can change this scenario.
Teachers leaving the job
- One of the main reasons teachers leave the profession is the workload.
- "For me, it was the way I was being treated, as well as the absolutely obscene workload: clocking up 50 hours a week and then having to do reports and other non-teaching related activities in your own time." (Interview on The Guardian, 2023)
- Using AI to automate marking and report writing will greatly reduce such workload.
Better professional development
- Continued professional development is an integral part of keeping teachers up-to-date and motivated.
- The use of AI and its several opportunities can leave more time for teachers to spend on CPD and other types of research and learning.
Mental health
- Recent research (Lei et al. 2023) has found that the use of AI chatbots is a successful intervention in schools.
- It can be used to detect early signs of depression, anxiety and other mental issues in both students and teachers.
