AI in schools should be judged on more than outcomes and time saved.
🔹Are pupils’ data protected?
🔹Has bias been tested?
🔹Can parents understand its use?
🔹Is there human oversight?
🔹Does it align with KCSIE 2026 and safeguarding controls?
Responsible adoption starts with these checks.

Older devices may mean more support time, emergency purchases and lost teaching time.
The summer break is a good time to review your device estate and plan before failure forces the decision.
