AI is reshaping classrooms faster than education systems can keep up. As generative AI tools become part of everyday teaching, a critical question emerges: do teachers have the knowledge, support, and safeguards needed to use them effectively, safely, and equitably? This policy brief addresses that question by translating research evidence into actionable guidance for education leaders.

Global research on what AI readiness means for teachers across different education systems is still in its early stages. WISE, in collaboration with the University of Southern California (USC Rossier School of Education), conducted a mixed-methods study, combining surveys and interviews, to examine how K–12 teachers across five countries (Qatar, Colombia, India, Philippines, and the US) are navigating the rise of generative AI in education.

Qatar’s National Vision 2030 and its National Artificial Intelligence (AI) Strategy set a bold agenda: transform the nation into a knowledge-based economy, with education as the engine and AI as a key enabler. But as AI tools enter classrooms, one question emerges: Are teachers ready?

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping education globally, and across Africa, universities are beginning to engage with AI not just as a tool, but as a strategic opportunity to reimagine learning, expand access, and drive innovation. Drawing on insights from nearly 4,000 stakeholders, the report reveals a sector at a turning point: AI adoption is growing, but uneven. This study, led by WISE in collaboration with The Education Collaborative (Ashesi University), UM6P, and AfriLabs, explores how 47 universities across Africa are adopting AI to enhance learning and teaching, streamline administration, and prepare students for the future of work.

The advent of powerful Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen-AI) and the proliferation of sophisticated digital disinformation represent two sides of the same coin, a profound, systemic challenge to the core mission of higher education. Together, they are reshaping how knowledge is created, validated, and shared, creating both unprecedented opportunities and significant risks. Institutions worldwide are grappling with a dual imperative: how to harness AI as a transformative tool for learning and research while simultaneously building resilience against the digital threats that undermine academic integrity, social cohesion, and informed civic discourse.
