Research Report Reveals Impact of Artificial Intelligence on School Education

These are the excerpts from Job with Education: School Education Report 2025 to Make Students Employable.

Let alone students, even teachers can’t learn all these subjects by heart to clear the exams. The education based on these complex subjects was imparted to students when there was no artificial intelligence (AI) and instant knowledge-gaining tools like ChatGPT.

In fact, ChatGPT (or Generative Pre-trained Transformer) is an AI-based online tool called chatbot which generates human-like text responses to prompts or user queries. It was launched by OpenAI in November 2022.

Now, there is a surfeit of such AI tools that school students can use if they require the knowledge of any subject being taught in schools. Therefore, instead of wasting their time on these complex subjects, students can devote their time on learning job-related skills which are currently not being taught in schools.

Obviously, there is a need to revamp the directionless school education system in India so that students can acquire new skills that can help them progress in the modern information-driven world. The Central government and the State governments of India have not taken any steps in the past many decades to modernize the archaic system that is not producing an employable workforce.

Similarly, teachers and parents are so ignorant about the requirements of the ever-evolving job market that they do not feel the need to design relevant courses and new teaching methodologies to empower students to earn their livelihoods. As a result, joblessness is spreading like a deadly disease in India and the unemployed students have become a veritable timebomb which can explode under increasing distress and cause serious civil unrest in the country.

It is a known fact that the entire school education delivery mechanism across the country is totally flawed. Since the fundamental school education is fragile, the college and university education becomes meaningless. As a result, even the educated are treated as uneducated in the job market.

This harsh reality is reflected in the global human development index (HDI) which indicates the level of schooling, education, skills, and life expectancy in a country. As the HDI position of India staggers at a dismal rank of 134 in 193 countries, there is hardly any workforce in the country that is employable in any professional job.

As the predicament persists, politicians of all political parties are telling lies about the quality of school education which is constantly deteriorating across the country. An unprecedented hype is being created around school education by the governments while the governments have done nothing to save the decaying education systems.

There is no attempt to revamp the syllabuses and books of students and the quality of school teachers is so bad that they are not even trainable. Government is wasting huge money on training teachers who cannot be trained to produce an employable workforce.

Instead of learning and teaching properly in the schools, teachers are promoting an illegal trade in the form of private tuitions. Almost all school students even after completing their schooling along with tuitions remain illiterate who cannot be trained further to compete in the current job market.

Since school education is totally directionless, college education cannot make students employable. Students who cannot get admission in colleges opt for informal education through options such as expensive private colleges or School of Open Learning (SOL). 

But this informal route of private education or SOL is a big deception which cannot provide necessary education and skills to students. Only rejected students opt for private colleges and SOL and waste their time in this useless method of learning which cannot get them proper jobs. Since parents are clueless about the education necessities, they are being cheated by politicians for electoral advantages.

After spending 12 years on school education, students realize that they have wasted all that time of their life. At that time, all the career avenues are closed for them. Thus, parents are the worst enemies of their children who are accepting bad education instead of demanding good education from the government.

The bad quality of school education has its repercussions. Today, for example, out of nearly 500 million workers in India, over 94% work in the unorganized sector as pushcart vendors, street hawkers, domestic servants, delivery workers, and so on.

This means the education standards in India are so irrelevant that they are not producing a workforce employable for respectable jobs in the organized enterprises. Even people with top education degrees do not get proper jobs.
