AI or Fall Behind!
A recent survey revealed that 58% of parents and 67% of teachers believe that children who don’t learn about artificial intelligence will be at a disadvantage in their future careers. Despite this strong belief, only 26% of educators say they feel prepared to teach AI-related topics in the classroom. The gap between expectations and readiness is growing, especially as AI becomes a core skill across industries. Parents are increasingly advocating for AI literacy to be included in school curricula, recognizing its importance alongside reading and math. Some schools have started integrating basic AI concepts through digital literacy or computer science lessons, but coverage remains inconsistent. Experts warn that without immediate investment in teacher training and curriculum development, a generation of students may fall behind in essential digital competencies.
We want to share with you the story of a few children's dreams of becoming programmers. Altough programming is one of the most sought-after professions in Bulgaria at the moment, many students from all over the country never get the opportunity to understand what programming means and how they can become programmers themselves. 🙌🏻We are happy to partner with Teach for Bulgaria this year, helping realize the dream of students from all over Bulgaria: zaednovchas.bg/programisti/?fbclid=IwAR2aI4ua8xJrP0KtEugggOC_zSyuF1P0J0T9c6wGTiHLHdQAMPUq3OnN-to
