EU and OECD Release a Primary and Secondary AI Literacy Framework Defining 19 Competencies

On June 18, the European Commission and OECD released the AILit framework for primary and secondary AI literacy, setting out four interconnected domains and 19 competencies with examples for primary and secondary education.

The framework organizes competencies such as understanding, using, creating with, and evaluating AI into a teachable structure that can directly support curriculum maps, classroom activities, and student assessment.

Key areas to watch include curriculum adoption by member states, assessment tools, teacher training, and competency progression across age groups.
