Strengthening artificial intelligence education, these provinces have new actions
2025-05-22
Recently, the Ministry of Education and nine other departments jointly issued the "Opinions on Accelerating the Digitization of Education", proposing to promote the use of artificial intelligence to assist in educational reform, strengthen the forward-looking layout of artificial intelligence, and promote the digitization of disciplines, courses, textbooks, teaching, and other aspects. Focusing on strengthening artificial intelligence education, several provinces have recently launched relevant plans based on their own characteristics. Recently, Jiangsu Province released the "Action Plan for Empowering High Quality Development of Education with Artificial Intelligence (2025-2027)", which proposes to promote the intelligent upgrading of education courses, textbooks, and teaching systems at all levels and types, integrate artificial intelligence technology into the entire stage, element, and process of education and teaching, and create a new ecology of "AI+Education" reform in Jiangsu. Jiangsu has formulated differentiated reform measures and implementation paths for different stages of education. Among them, the key task of basic education is to comprehensively promote general education on artificial intelligence in primary and secondary schools, and to concentrate on building a new form of education empowered by artificial intelligence. We will initiate the development of guidelines for artificial intelligence education in primary and secondary schools, provide classified guidance, and gradually incorporate artificial intelligence education in primary and secondary schools into local curricula. The key task of vocational education is to fully utilize artificial intelligence to enhance the educational capabilities of vocational colleges and guide the transformation of the industry education collaborative education model. Support vocational colleges to focus on the provincial "1650" industrial system, jointly build a number of high-level practice bases, industrial colleges, and industry education integration communities in the field of artificial intelligence between schools and enterprises, integrate core artificial intelligence skills into professional courses, and actively develop modular courses that combine "job ability+artificial intelligence ability". The key task of higher education is to strengthen the construction of the "artificial intelligence+" discipline and professional system, and vigorously cultivate interdisciplinary and innovative talents. Universities should rely on platform projects such as advantageous disciplines, interdisciplinary centers, and branded majors to further promote interdisciplinary integration and create several domestically leading clusters of advantageous disciplines and branded majors in the field of artificial intelligence. Recently, the Education Department of Sichuan Province issued the "Implementation Plan for Promoting Artificial Intelligence Education in Primary and Secondary Schools in Sichuan Province" to promote the construction of artificial intelligence education system in primary and secondary schools. It is proposed that by 2027, the artificial intelligence education network in primary and secondary schools in the province will be basically formed; By 2030, artificial intelligence education will be basically popularized in primary and secondary schools throughout the province. Sichuan has made it clear that it will implement the Artificial Intelligence Education Curriculum Popularization Project, Artificial Intelligence Teacher Team Construction Project, Artificial Intelligence Education Infrastructure Construction Project, Artificial Intelligence Education Resource Construction Project, Student Artificial Intelligence Literacy Cultivation Project, Create Artificial Intelligence Application Demonstration Project, and Artificial Intelligence Education Network Chain Construction Project, build an artificial intelligence education activity exchange platform, and select artificial intelligence education off campus practice bases. In terms of course resources, Sichuan will research and develop implementation guidelines for artificial intelligence education courses, forming a vertically integrated and horizontally integrated artificial intelligence education curriculum system; In terms of the teaching staff, Sichuan will select experts and scholars from universities, research institutes, electronic education technology and equipment, teaching and research institutions, and high-tech enterprises to form an AI education expert guidance committee at different levels. At the same time, a training mechanism will be established at the provincial, municipal, county, and school levels, training 500 seed teachers for AI education at the provincial level and 2000 backbone teachers for AI education at the city and county levels annually; Sichuan will actively cooperate with artificial intelligence enterprises, universities, research institutions, industry associations, etc. to establish an artificial intelligence education zone for the Sichuan Province Smart Education Platform for Primary and Secondary Schools, and issue the "Guidelines for the Construction of Sichuan Province Artificial Intelligence Education Laboratories" to guide schools in optimizing and upgrading their existing digital teaching environments and facilities and equipment. The reporter recently learned from the Education Department of Anhui Province that the artificial intelligence general education courses in Anhui Province have been opened for selection by more than 30 universities throughout the province. The curriculum system closely revolves around Anhui Gaofeng disciplines and emerging industries, covering 11 disciplines in higher education, providing 2600 minutes of high-quality course resources, and achieving deep integration of artificial intelligence with various disciplines and industries. It is reported that the course is guided by the Education Department of Anhui Province and jointly operated by Anhui University and industry enterprises in Anhui. The course consists of a "1+M+N" system, where "1" is the basic knowledge of AI, "M" is the "AI+discipline", and "N" is the "AI+industry". By integrating cutting-edge theories, industrial practice applications, and artificial intelligence technology, students can not only master the basic concepts, principles, and technologies of artificial intelligence, but also cultivate their innovative thinking and practical abilities in the field. Thirteen universities in Anhui Province have been deeply involved in curriculum construction based on their subject directors. Discipline leadership, integration of industry and education, and one game planning have become prominent features of Anhui's artificial intelligence general education courses. Anhui has created an interdisciplinary integration curriculum matrix in this curriculum system, focusing on "discipline leadership". For example, the "AI+discipline" module courses rely on 11 advantageous disciplines such as physics, materials science and engineering from 13 universities including the University of Science and Technology of China and Anhui University, and develop 18 topics with a total of 164 sections and 1925 minutes of topic content. In the exploration of the new path of "industry education integration", the curriculum system adheres to the principle of "selecting real projects or cutting-edge technology scenarios from enterprises", highlighting industry orientation and practical value. In addition, Anhui has also established the "Anhui Artificial Intelligence General Education Center", forming an "integrated construction and application" operation mechanism, continuously promoting the iteration and updating of curriculum resources, expanding the influence and coverage of courses, and empowering the high-quality development of digital education in Anhui.
