Around 26% of government school teachers use Artificial Intelligence (AI) regularly, and 72% have a positive view of AI in education, according to AI Readiness of India’s Government School Teachers, a report released by JanAI, an initiative of the Head Held High Foundation (HHHF).
The report, released on Tuesday, comes ahead of the introduction of an AI and Computational Thinking curriculum for Classes IX to XII in the 2026-27 academic year.
The national survey, conducted across 797 government schools, found that teachers in Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Jharkhand and Maharashtra are adopting AI despite infrastructure gaps.
“Teachers are already accessing AI through personal phones, including in schools without computer labs. AI is primarily being used as a teaching aid. The top uses are simplifying difficult concepts, generating examples and activities, and preparing worksheets and assessments,” the report read.
