oak ai uk - "providing every teacher with a personalised AI lesson-planning assistant"

Earlier in the year, the previous UK government promised AI resources to help teachers in and out of the classroom:

Here's the official announcement at the time:

Every teacher in England is set to benefit from new resources powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI), supporting them to plan lessons and build classroom quizzes, and helping to reduce workloads.

The Government is investing up to £2 million in Oak National Academy, which was established to support teachers with high-quality curriculum resources online, to create new teaching tools using AI – marking the first step towards providing every teacher with a personalised AI lesson-planning assistant.

This follows a pilot of an AI-powered quiz builder and lesson planner. Thousands of teachers have already signed up to use these tools, helping them to create individualised content that is tailored to teaching their pupils and based on Oak’s high-quality curriculum content. This new cash boost will help Oak to improve these tools further before making them available to teachers across England for free.
