The Ministry of Education is rolling out new AI initiatives in schools to
strengthen digital learning.

This semester, 23 senior high schools will offer diverse AI elective courses
designed to enhance students' foundational skills and computational thinking.

The Ministry is also introducing AI learning companions for primary and
secondary schools, integrating them into digital platforms to reduce
educational disparities.

A pilot AI competition for younger students will also launch by the end of
this year, with plans to expand nationally in 2025.

The goal is to encourage early engagement with AI and problem-solving using
real-world applications.

Deputy Education Minister Benson Yeh says these initiatives aim to position
Taiwan as a leader in AI education in Asia.

Updated digital teaching guidelines also include AI usage risks and
integration strategies, providing a framework for schools and parents to
support digital learning.
