AI in education: looking at the opportunities as well as the challengesThere is a lot of discussion about AI in education right now, much of it, understandably, focused on the risks and challenges.But it is equally important to look at how AI can be used positively, practically and responsibly.In July, 227 teachers from 12 schools in Makueni, Kenya, took part in Camara Education’s AI Readiness for Teaching & Learning training. The focus wasn’t simply on introducing teachers to AI, but on helping them use it deliberately, from framing tasks and developing teaching materials in stages, to reviewing outputs, understanding responsible learner use and managing the risks.The results showed an important distinction between simply having used AI and having the confidence to use it effectively. Before the training, only 19% of teachers who had previously used AI to create teaching materials described themselves as confident in doing so effectively.Following the training, teacher confidence in creating materials increased to 81%, while 98% of participants rated the training as useful overall.Alongside this work, Camara has also developed its Offline AI Education Assistant, designed for public schools that cannot rely on constant internet access or paid subscriptions. Following further development and localisation, the Assistant was piloted in two public secondary schools in Kenya between January and March 2026 with support from the FCDO-funded UK-Kenya AI Challenge Fund.For us, these are two parts of the same challenge: how do we help teachers use AI effectively and responsibly, while also making sure that schools with fewer resources aren’t excluded from its potential benefits?As the debate around AI continues, the risks matter. But so does exploring where the technology can make a positive and practical contribution to education.#AIinEducation #ResponsibleAI #OfflineAI #DigitalEducation #TeacherTraining #CamaraEducation ...

A new Digital Learning Centre is taking shape at Kalenga Secondary School in Iringa, Tanzania.As part of the Connecting the Unconnected project, funded by Helios Towers Tanzania, our Camara Education Tanzania team is busy installing a new centre at the school.The finished centre will include 25 networked computers and a local educational server loaded with offline learning content, so students and teachers can access educational resources even when internet connectivity is limited.As the photos show, the room isn’t quite finished yet. But some of Kalenga’s students were so eager to see what our team was doing, and to lend a hand, that we couldn’t turn them away. With our team supervising and making sure everything was done safely, their curiosity became part of the installation.It’s exactly the kind of enthusiasm we love to see. We’re looking forward to seeing what they do when the centre is fully up and running.#CamaraEducation #DigitalEducation #Tanzania #EdTech #ConnectingTheUnconnected ... See MoreSee Less
