AI-powered textbooks fail to make the grade in South Korea
Governments around the world are betting that AI will revolutionize education. Big tech firms including Meta, Google, and OpenAI are aggressively promoting initiatives in schools worldwide. Some countries have embraced AI tools to solve teacher shortages and bridge the gap between urban and rural students. In others, AI chatbots and other tools have worsened student performance and increased the workload for teachers.
There were signs of unease early on. In November, the Korean Teachers and Education Workers Union, and civic groups such as Political Mamas, which campaigns for the welfare of women and children, sued the then-minister of education for abuse of authority, saying the program was “problematic” because it made the use of AI textbooks mandatory. The groups also said the rollout overlooked potential risks to children, lacked data protection measures, and ignored the inputs of teachers and parents.
“The textbooks worsen learning effectiveness and negatively affect students,” Jang Ha-na, a member of Political Mamas, told Rest of World. “Once digital devices like tablets become central in classrooms, screen exposure increases, leading to weaker literacy and communication skills.”
