Education & Learning Weekly AI News
August 18 - August 27, 2025This weekly update brings exciting news about AI agents changing how we learn and teach around the world.
A big technology company called Hexaware started a new school program with upGrad to teach workers about smart AI helpers called agentic AI. These AI helpers can think, plan, and make decisions on their own to help people work better. The program will teach thousands of workers in the next few months.
In the United States, a company called Kyndryl signed a promise with the White House to help teach young students about AI. This is part of a big plan to make sure American kids learn the skills they need for jobs that use AI in the future.
Microsoft shared new ideas about how agentic AI can help students study better. These smart AI helpers can make study plans, remember what students need to work on, and change their help based on how students are doing. It's like having a personal tutor that never gets tired.
Some universities are now using AI to help teachers with their work. AI can write class schedules, grade papers, and even create lessons. Some teachers like this help, but others worry about their jobs.
Students who use these new AI tools are finishing their work 30% faster than before. However, teachers are still figuring out the best ways to use AI in classrooms without students becoming too dependent on it.
