For instance, AI-powered tools like Google's NLP (Natural Language Processing) can help analyze large volumes of academic papers, extracting key findings and insights that would be time-consuming for humans to identify manually.

The training has already been put into practice in classrooms and shared with colleagues. Dr Ahmed Al Shoaibi, Executive Director of the Higher Education Sector at ADEK, aims for educators to leverage AI skills to enhance their teaching.

Young users prioritize AI applications for productivity enhancement, creative ideation, entertainment through virtual interactions, and social facilitation. Nearly all respondents (95%) integrate AI into their work or study routines, with frequent users making substantial efficiency gains of over 50% productivity improvements, including near-total efficiency doubling for 30.8%.

Gandhi accused the government of prioritising its own agenda over state governments' voices, particularly in implementing the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The government has not consulted state governments on policy implementation, instead using coercion to force them to adopt the PM-SHRI scheme. Gandhi also criticized the draft University Grants Commission guidelines, which she claimed would give the Union government near-monopoly power over university appointments. She alleged that the government's commercialisation of education has pushed poor students out of public schools and into expensive private institutions, while indoctrinating hatred through textbooks and promoting regime-friendly ideologues in universities.

The VAT is adding £300 per child per month to family bills, causing financial strain. Despite 98% of parents believing their child's needs cannot be met in the state sector, 46% are still likely to consider moving to a state school. Critics argue that this policy will put thousands of SEND pupils' schooling at risk and force families to make difficult choices.
