Kenyan startup makes robotic limbs to sign for deaf kids

The Japan Times

NAIROBI - In a school for the deaf in Kenya, children signed their excitement as a team demonstrated how a robotic arm could revolutionize their studies. Roughly 300,000 children in the east African nation are deaf or hard of hearing, according to the Kenya Society for Deaf Children, but just 20,000 were enrolled in schools as of 2024. Kenyan startup ZeroBionic, co-founded by 22-year-old Norah Kimathi, hopes to tackle some of the educational difficulties they face. It has built a mechanical hand that can translate a teacher's voice into sign language in real time, allowing deaf children to learn alongside their hearing counterparts. For the students at the Kasarani Treeside Secondary School for the Deaf in Nairobi, there is another element of the technology that is even more promising.


NYC bans the use of generative AI tools in public schools for students through eighth grade

Engadget

New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani just announced a one-year ban of generative AI tools in public schools for students up to eighth grade. The legislation takes effect during the 2026-2027 school year and will impact around 600,000 students. "This moratorium is a commitment to getting the future right," Mayor Mamdani said. "We will embrace new technology, but only when it serves our students." New York Governor Kathy Hochul added that the state "has been leading the way in our efforts to keep kids focused on learning and growing -- not clicking and scrolling."


New York City to ban student AI use in public schools until high school

The Guardian

Teachers and parents have warned against AI use in schools over concerns of'cognitive surrender' New York City will ban students' use of artificial intelligence in public schools through eighth grade, typically age 13 or 14. The prohibition is scheduled to be announced on Wednesday and will go into effect next week. The change is part of a sweeping overhaul of the use of technology in the US's largest school district, which enrolls roughly 900,000 students a year. In another policy shift, classrooms will keep students off laptops or tablets through the third grade, age nine or 10. The city's public school technology policies are closely watched by the rest of the United States.


Asbestos killed my mum in her 40s โ€“ was her school to blame?

BBC News

Asbestos killed my mum in her 40s - was her school to blame? To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Figure caption, 'Mum died young from asbestos - now my family want justice' When Caroline Bryan was enjoying high school with friends in the early 90s, she would never have imagined replaying those memories in her final weeks, while searching for answers about her terminal condition. The mum was 46 when she died from mesothelioma, an incurable cancer linked to asbestos exposure. As she came to terms with her difficult diagnosis, Caroline's belief was the only place she could have encountered asbestos was during her time at school decades earlier.


Danish pupils will have to orally defend essays in attempt to combat AI cheating

The Guardian

Upper secondary schools will be required to monitor how computers are being used for written exams. Upper secondary schools will be required to monitor how computers are being used for written exams. Danish teenagers will have to make an oral defence of their written essays to combat AI cheating, the government has announced. Pupils aged 16 to 19 at upper secondary school (known in Denmark as) will also be encouraged to do written assignments at school under controlled conditions, including monitoring of their computer screens, rather than at home. The measures, announced on Thursday as pupils prepare to go back to school next week after the summer break, will come into immediate effect after Magnus Heunicke, the country's education minister, demanded urgent action.


Mortgages and AI to be added to the curriculum in English schools

BBC News

Children will be taught how to budget and how mortgages work as the government seeks to modernise the national curriculum in England's schools. They will also be taught how to spot fake news and disinformation, including AI-generated content, following the first review of what is taught in schools in over a decade. Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson said the government wanted to revitalise the curriculum but keep a firm foundation in basics like English, maths and reading. Head teachers said the review's recommendations were sensible but would require sufficient funding and teachers. The government commissioned a review of the national curriculum and assessments in England last year, in the hope of developing a cutting edge curriculum that would narrow attainment gaps between the most disadvantaged students and their classmates.


New Curriculum, New Chance -- Retrieval Augmented Generation for Lesson Planning in Ugandan Secondary Schools. Prototype Quality Evaluation

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Introduction: Poor educational quality in Secondary Schools is still regarded as one of the major struggles in 21st century Uganda - especially in rural areas. Research identifies several problems, including low quality or absent teacher lesson planning. As the government pushes towards the implementation of a new curriculum, exiting lesson plans become obsolete and the problem is worsened. Using a Retrieval Augmented Generation approach, we developed a prototype that generates customized lesson plans based on the government-accredited textbooks. This helps teachers create lesson plans more efficiently and with better quality, ensuring they are fully aligned the new curriculum and the competence-based learning approach. Methods: The prototype was created using Cohere LLM and Sentence Embeddings, and LangChain Framework - and thereafter made available on a public website. Vector stores were trained for three new curriculum textbooks (ICT, Mathematics, History), all at Secondary 1 Level. Twenty-four lessons plans were generated following a pseudo-random generation protocol, based on the suggested periods in the textbooks. The lesson plans were analyzed regarding their technical quality by three independent raters following the Lesson Plan Analysis Protocol (LPAP) by Ndihokubwayo et al. (2022) that is specifically designed for East Africa and competence-based curriculums. Results: Evaluation of 24 lesson plans using the LPAP resulted in an average quality of between 75 and 80%, corresponding to "very good lesson plan". None of the lesson plans scored below 65%, although one lesson plan could be argued to have been missing the topic. In conclusion, the quality of the generated lesson plans is at least comparable, if not better, than those created by humans, as demonstrated in a study in Rwanda, whereby no lesson plan even reached the benchmark of 50%.
