by State schools are falling behind in the introduction of artificial intelligence behind private schools, according to a survey.
Independent schools or those in wealthier areas probably have greater access to resources and can afford to invest in more demanding AI solutions, according to Sutton Trust.
The charity for social mobility calls on the government to deal with the “digital gap” among the students in order to improve their access to the advantages of AI.
The survey of more than 10,000 teachers in all of England indicates that private school teachers have more than twice as likely that they have received formal AI training
Private schools are “ahead” as part of the game of the AI guidelines, the management of employees for monitoring their use and provision of training and resources compared to state schools, as the report stated.
The teacher Tapp survey carried out between 3rd and 14th April suggested that 17% of the state school teachers not to use AI at all compared with only 8% of the private school.
According to the report, private schools have a clear school -wide personnel strategy for the use of AI as state schools (27% compared to 9%) three times more often.
Almost a quarter (24%) of the state school teachers stated that they were not sure in their role to use AI tools compared to only 15% of private full teachers, according to the survey.
Private school teachers were more likely than their colleagues from the state school to use AI for a number of tasks – including writing writing reports (29% compared to 11%), with parents (19% compared to 11%) and markings (12% compared to 7%).
The survey also showed that gaps within the state sector as a teacher in schools with the wealthiest income with greater probability reported that they had formal AI training than those with the least wealthy (26% compared to 18%).
The charity asks the government to carefully monitor inequalities when accessing and using AI between the schools.
The Sutton Trust report states: “Private schools or those in wealthier areas probably have greater access to resources and can therefore afford to invest both time and money in more sophisticated AI solutions.”
It added: “The government is urgently needed to ensure that AI acts as a gap croser instead of another factor that exacerbates the already growing gap between poorer students and their better colleagues.”
Nick Harrison, Managing Director of The Sutton Trust, said: “It is amazing how quickly a Digital level of AI opens in schools.
“This is a crucial time in the integration of AI tools into class, but private schools and some of the wealthiest state schools that are already progressing in a kind of digital wild vest.
