A total of 1,000 devices have been shipped, with an additional 500 set to be distributed over the next 15 days. The Chromebooks will be used alongside digital interactive boards to create an interactive learning environment, providing students with access to a range of digital educational tools that will enable them to learn more effectively and efficiently. This initiative is part of the ministry's broader goal to modernise the education system and equip students with the skills they need for success in the digital era.

This approach would encourage students to think creatively and develop problem-solving skills, rather than simply suppressing the issue with disciplinary measures.

She noted that ICT, including AI, should serve two functions: improving efficiency and developing self-capacity. Christie uses Google Scholar to find reference sources and ask research questions, which she believes increases her efficiency and builds her capacity as a scientist and academic. However, she urged caution when applying advancements in ICT, such as AI, to educational activities, questioning whether they truly improve or reduce efficiency. To address this issue, Christie's office plans to issue a circular letter advising higher education institutions on the efficient use of ICT, including AI, in their learning processes.
