Decision to make AI a compulsory subject in Punjab government schools

The Punjab government has decided in principle to include artificial intelligence (AI) as a regular subject in government schools in the province.

According to officials, the aim of this move is to familiarize students with a technology that will further impact various aspects of life, including education and employment, in the coming years.

Through the new subject, students will be taught about the basic concepts of artificial intelligence and its practical applications. The government says that it can also help improve critical thinking and problem-solving skills in children.

Along with this project, work will also be done to modernize the computer labs in schools. Arrangements will also be made to train teachers to teach AI to students so that they can teach the new subject effectively.

According to officials, including artificial intelligence in the education system will promote digital education in Punjab and students will be better prepared for the opportunities and challenges that arise in the technology-based economy of the future.
