A historic decision that could change the global landscape

Since September 2025, all Chinese children study artificial intelligence from primary school. This unprecedented reform imposes a minimum of 8 hours of AI instruction per year, fundamentally transforming the country’s educational approach.

Why is this strategy revolutionary?

Early education : At six years old, children discover algorithms through play and robotics Long-term vision : Goal 2030 – to train a generation of AI creators, not just users Systemic approach : Progressive integration from primary to high school with age-appropriate content

The challenges for the future

This initiative is part of the national plan “New Generation of AI” aiming for technological autonomy. The objective? To develop a local innovation ecosystem capable of competing with the global giants.

The question that arises : How will other countries react to this considerable head start?

And what about us, what can we take away from this?

  • The importance of early education in emerging technologies
  • The need to anticipate tomorrow’s skills
  • The opportunity to rethink our learning methods

AI is no longer the future; it is the present. The real question isn’t “if” our children will master AI, but “when” we will start preparing them for it.

Your opinion: Should we draw inspiration from this approach for our education systems?
