Jiangsu to Introduce General AI Education Across Grades 1–12 in the New Semester

The Jiangsu Provincial Department of Education has directed every primary and secondary school in the province to begin offering general AI education from grade 1 through grade 12 when the autumn semester starts. Summer teacher training drew a cumulative 9.03 million views and essentially covered all full-time and part-time teachers and teaching researchers. A dedicated digital-resources section is now available free across the province through Jiangsu's Master Teachers Online Classroom, alongside measures such as on-site training for rural schools.

This province-level policy systematically incorporates general AI education throughout primary and secondary schooling. It directly affects curricula and teacher allocation across Jiangsu and creates a clear market entry point and standards framework for AI education products. Schools must add general AI classes and arrange teaching hours and staff, sharply increasing demand for teacher training. Providers of AI education content, platforms, and hardware gain a defined route into Jiangsu schools, with increased competition likely.
