International Day of Education 2025: Why AI won’t replace great teachers
‘AI and Education’ was the theme of the 2025 International Day of Education on 24 January, with an emphasis on preserving human agency. To mark the day, Ben Schmidt, Director, International Network, shared how our thinking on AI aligns with this approach.

7moThank you for sharing the latest updates on Cambridge qualifications and resources. It's great to see that more students than ever before took Cambridge exams in 2024. I appreciate the emphasis on preserving human agency in AI and education, and it's encouraging to know that Cambridge is using AI to empower teachers and elevate learning opportunities. The International Day of Education is an excellent opportunity to recognize and celebrate exceptional teachers who inspire and shape futures. I agree that climate change education is crucial, and it's disappointing to hear that only 1.5% of global climate funding is allocated to the education sector. I look forward to attending the free webinars and the unmissable event for Cambridge teachers and school leaders. The updated university recognition factsheet on the Communications toolkit is a valuable resource for parents and students. Thank you for providing a guide on online courses and a demo course. Keep up the excellent work in providing quality education worldwide.
