Artificial intelligence is transforming how people learn, access knowledge and develop skills - but education will not be determined by technology alone. As AI adoption accelerates across classrooms and learning environments, education systems face a critical challenge: ensuring that innovation strengthens human learning, equity and trust rather than undermining them.

Shaping the Future of Learning: Education Readiness for the Age of AI explores the opportunities and risks emerging from the rapid integration of AI into education. The report introduces a practical AI Readiness Framework that helps policy-makers, educators, institutions, technology providers and communities assess whether the conditions are in place for responsible and effective adoption.

From governance and infrastructure to pedagogy, assessment and learner experiences, the framework identifies the foundations needed to harness AI’s potential while safeguarding cognitive development, academic integrity and human connection.
