Artificial intelligence in education

As part of Singapore's National Artificial Intelligence (AI) Strategy, as well as to support the implementation of the “Transforming Education through Technology” (EdTech) Masterplan 2030, MOE is harnessing AI to help our students learn better and deeper, and teachers to teach and learn better.

MOE's position on AI in education

MOE's approach to AI in education puts students in the centre and pedagogy at the fore. MOE emphasises responsible and age- and developmental- appropriate use of AI in teaching and learning as students learn about AI, learn to use AI, learn with AI and learn beyond AI.

MOE AI-in Education (AIEd) Framework

The MOE AI-in-Education (AIEd) Framework, builds on the Model AI Governance Framework by the Singapore Infocomm Media Development Authority to address education-specific use and risks, and incorporates key beliefs from the Ethos of the Teaching Profession.

The MOE AIEd Framework seeks to:

1. Guide the safe and responsible development and governance of AI for teaching and learning.
2. Ensure our AIEd practices are in alignment with our professional beliefs as expressed in our Ethos of the Teaching Profession.

The MOE AIEd Framework outlines four principles of Agency, Inclusivity, Fairness and Safety.

MOE AI use cases to support the “Transforming Education through Technology” Masterplan 2030

MOE delivers pedagogically sound AI-enabled features with in-built safety and educational guardrails through the Singapore Student Learning Space (SLS), our national online platform for teaching and learning, to minimise cognitive offloading and dependence on AI.

These tools support greater customisation and personalisation of learning of student learning and seek to further augment teachers’ practice. To equip students to use these tools well, students complete a basic module on AI literacy, to deepen their understanding of how AI works, its benefits and risks, and how to use AI effectively to support their learning. support their learning. 

LEA helps students learn by asking guiding questions. It takes on different roles to encourage students to think in different ways, making learning more engaging and interactive.

LEA is teacher-activated with in-built guardrails such as limited number of student interactions with the AI chatbot and will not provide spoon-fed answers. This AI tool is available for Primary 4 students and above, and must be used in class under teacher supervision for Primary 4 to 6 students.

Watch how LEA supports students’ learning by guiding them with questions and encouraging them to think more deeply.

Feedback Assistants support students’ learning by providing feedback on their work. Teachers set up the assignments and can review or adjust the feedback to better address students’ learning needs. These AI-enabled features do not involve student interactions with AI. 

ALS creates a personalised learning path for each student by giving them custom recommendations and feedback based on their readiness. It currently supports Primary 5 to Secondary 2 Mathematics and Upper Secondary Geography.

ALS is based on machine learning and not a generative AI. More subjects and levels will be added over time.

Schools work closely with parents to support your child’s appropriate use of AI-enabled features for learning and development of AI literacy.  For more resources on how to support your child’s use of AI, you can refer to these infographics.
