Teachers: Meet AI - Adam, Matt & Maria, Mindstream

Tech companies are being urged to develop AI tools to help reduce teachers’ workloads. The UK government is supporting this by giving AI developers special access to the Department for Education’s (DfE) resources. Education minister Stephen Morgan called this a major step forward for AI in education. The government is investing £3 million to create a “content bank” of official assessments, curriculum guides, and teaching materials. This will help developers train AI models to produce accurate, high-quality workbooks and lesson plans tailored for English classrooms.
