Integrating AI into curriculum development, equipping a new generation of students
The Ministry of Education is exploring AI-driven curriculum development through collaboration with Google, teacher training, and e-learning tools. These initiatives align with “Kuwait Vision 2035” to enhance education with AI.
The General Directorate of Computer Science at the Ministry of Education emphasized the importance of developing curricula and training programs aligned with artificial intelligence concepts. This initiative aims to equip a new generation of students with the skills to utilize AI technologies across various fields. To achieve this, the directorate stressed the need for qualified educators to teach these subjects and the modernization of technological infrastructure in schools.
The General Technical Guidance for Computers proposed several initiatives, including collaboration with Google to train teachers in AI education and the development of flexible, continuously updated curricula to keep pace with advancements in the field. Additionally, the proposal emphasized leveraging Google’s e-learning platforms to enhance access to educational resources.
Informed sources told Al-Rai that the Ministry of Education, through the General Technical Guidance for Computers, has reviewed Google’s proposed project to empower the education sector with artificial intelligence. Submitted to the Kuwaiti Embassy in Washington, the project is seen as a significant opportunity for Kuwait to advance its education system.
The sources highlighted key technical recommendations, including ensuring alignment with “Kuwait Vision 2035”, conducting a comprehensive feasibility study before implementation, and drawing insights from other countries that have successfully integrated AI into their education systems.
Moreover, the sources also mentioned another Google project proposed to Kuwait, which is about “Collaboration with the Artificial Intelligence Academy at the government level”. This initiative includes the “Government AI Campus” that offers training courses, virtual events, and essential resources to equip government leaders with practical AI expertise.
The institution has recently translated all these resources into Arabic and expressed its readiness to offer the program to Kuwait, aiming to strengthen cooperation between both sides.
