South Korea has begun deploying AI-powered robot teachers in over 300 public schools nationwide. These humanoid robots assist human teachers in delivering lessons, assessing student performance, and offering personalized tutoring in subjects like English, math, and science.
The Ministry of Education says the project aims to bridge teacher shortages and modernize classrooms. The robots use real-time language processing and facial recognition to adapt lessons for students’ pace and emotions.
With India and Bangladesh exploring EdTech solutions for rural areas, South Korea’s AI model could serve as a prototype. Experts suggest that cost-effective versions could eventually benefit remote or underserved South Asian regions.
