In classrooms across India, artificial intelligence is no longer a futuristic concept—it’s a hands-on tool reshaping how teachers teach and students learn. With strong backing from government initiatives, educators are turning to AI to create personalized worksheets, dynamic visual aids, and even professional development programs.

- Samran Wiriyaphong leads AI-integrated teacher upskilling projects
- Chandrakanth Gouda and Josphine G. Lima built an AI education website with 120 videos
Personalized Learning Takes Center Stage
Kavitha Ghosh, an English teacher at Delhi Public School, Bengaluru South, doesn’t just see AI as a convenience—it’s a game-changer. "AI has made most teachers’ jobs easy," she says. She crafts unique worksheets for every student, packed with critical analysis and logic-based questions designed to mirror increasingly tough board exams.
She’s even used AI to generate grammar exercises with sneaky errors and visual aids for poetry lessons. But it’s not just about hitting a button; Ghosh emphasizes that prompt engineering skills are now essential. Teachers must learn to ask the right questions to get the best results.
Upskilling Teachers for an AI-Driven Future
Samran Wiriyaphong, K-12 Tech Coordinator at Canadian International School, believes teacher training is crucial. His school is launching a year-long project called "Assessment Redesign: Building Teacher Confidence in AI-Integrated Classrooms." Here, educators collaborate to rebuild assessments with AI guardrails—like human checks and visible processes—to ensure integrity and creativity thrive together.
In elementary grades, AI serves as a demonstration tool, showing multiple perspectives. In secondary schools, students use it for exploration but remain responsible for verifying their work. It’s a balanced approach: embrace technology, but keep human intelligence at the core.
Grassroots Innovation in Government Schools
Far from urban centers, in Karwar’s Chendiya taluk, two government school teachers—Chandrakanth Gouda and Josphine G. Lima—have built an AI-enabled education website named ‘Shikshakara Shaikshanika Sampanmulagalu’. It hosts 120 videos on topics from history to math, all created with AI tools.
"The website offers audio and visual content on topics from various subjects," says Mr. Chandrakanth. "Instead of showing educational videos on other social media platforms where some irrelevant advertisements pop up, videos on our website can be used to teach children."
The project began a year ago during a school trip, and now it’s an open-source platform accessible to all. It’s a testament to how AI can bridge resource gaps and inspire innovation even in remote areas.
