A Teacher in Every Pocket: AI’s Educational Future

In a remote Indian village, where textbooks were scarce, a girl named Lakshmi discovered a universe in her hand-me-down smartphone. Her AI tutor, accessed via shared Wi-Fi, ignited a passion for learning and coding, empowering her to shape her own future. Yet, 250 million children and youth worldwide remain out of school, denied such opportunities (UNESCO, 2023). A 2023 UNESCO study found that mobile learning improved literacy by 20% in underserved regions.
