Malaysian education-technology platform Kelas Sekejap announced a full transformation on August 19, 2026, expanding from conversational English learning into a comprehensive AI learning ecosystem for school, work, educational content, and brand learning. Since its January 26, 2026 launch, it has accumulated more than 15,000 registered learners and over 6,000 AI-tutor conversation exercises, while short videos on its social channels average more than 150,000 views. Former CIMB Group chairman Nazir Razak led the seed round; pre-seed investors included Mark Koh, Carey Ng, Leong Yew Yan, and Lui Wai Lap.
Over the past year and a half, a team of Queen's University doctoral students has worked with more than 800 educators to develop the GenAI-dentity survey and workshop, helping educators reflect on their comfort with generative AI, assessment practice, fears, and challenges. Preliminary findings show that many feel unprepared and unsupported, and that comfort with AI varies by context, purpose, role, and risk rather than fitting a simple pro-or-con divide.

OpenAI announced a partnership with education-technology organization CodeAI on August 18, 2026, while launching ChatGPT for Teens for users ages 13–17. The product includes a study mode, responsible-homework reminders, and parental controls. CodeAI was founded as the nonprofit Code.org in 2013 and changed its name in June 2026. Its survey found that 84% of students already use AI, while only 16% of high-school education leaders say their schools help all students learn technical knowledge about AI.
Washington Leadership Academy, a public charter high school in Washington, D.C., held a hackathon in March 2025 where about 100 students built AI chatbots. The school began exploring AI soon after ChatGPT launched in November 2022 and formed an AI working group of administrators, students, and teachers. By December 2025, 63% of U.S. high-school students used AI for homework, up from 49% several months earlier.
Overture co-founder and COO Steven Jiang says children encounter AI in search results, images, videos, homework tools, and games but lack proper guidance, creating an AI-literacy gap. Overture runs AI enrichment courses in more than 50 schools in Chicago and Boston and plans to expand to over 120 programs. Its early-childhood AI curriculum is entirely paper-based and screen-free, using activities such as 'Real or AI' to help students spot flaws in AI-generated images and develop critical thinking.
