International Day of Education
Let's Celebrate International Day of Education
Under the theme “AI and education: Preserving human agency in a world of automation”, the 2025 International Day of Education encourages reflections on the power of education to equip individuals and communities to navigate, understand and influence technological advancement.
At World Vision we are committed to ensure most vulnerable children and adolescents have access to inclusive and quality education, especially in the hardest-to-reach places. We believe that AI and technology can enable teachers, caregivers, practitioners and policy-makers to improve access to quality and inclusive education ensuring we apply a "Human in the Loop" approach as Aristeu Duarte describes in his article.
Ann Munene reminds us that application of AI needs to be guided by ethical practices and a commitment to equity and inclusivity. The power of AI to analyse data can unmask grave inequalities and guide investment decisions to achieve equitable learning outcomes. Vika Sargsyan affirms the importance of strong beginnings enlisting existing applications that can potentiate development outcomes in the early years. In emergency response, practitioners are constrained by time and receive an overwhelming amount of information. Through the AI-supported Integrate tool, Charbel Chidiac illustrates how access to this tool facilitates integrated programming that address children’s needs more effectively and holistically.
World Vision is leading a movement to make learning better and inclusive. AI applied with human agency can change education in ways that transforms and enables learning for most vulnerable children.
