China aims to promote artificial intelligence in aiding the country's education reform, highlighting the cultivation of students' critical thinking, problem-solving abilities and practical skills, while accelerating digital transformation across the sector, according to a newly released guideline.

根据新发布的指南，国家正致力于推动人工智能在教育改革中的应用，重点在于培养学生的批判性思维、问题解决能力和实践能力，同时加快教育领域的数字化转型。

The guideline on accelerating education digitalization, jointly released by the Ministry of Education and eight other departments, emphasized building an AI-based education system that integrates smart technologies into teaching, learning, assessment and academic research.

这份《关于加快推进教育数字化的意见》由教育部会同其他八个部门联合印发，强调要构建基于人工智能的教育体系，将智能技术深度融入教学、学习、评价和科研等环节。

Zhou Dawang, head of the ministry's department of science, technology and informatization, said the guideline calls for a comprehensive upgrade of disciplines, curriculum and talent development to meet the demands of the digital economy and future industries.

教育部科学技术于信息化司司长周大旺说，文件指出，要全面升级学科体系、课程体系和人才培养体系，以满足数字经济和未来行业的需求。

The guideline outlined plans to accelerate the development of large-scale AI models to promote their deep integration into education. It also proposed adjustments to academic programs in higher education and vocational training to better meet the needs of advanced manufacturing and the modern service sector, Zhou said at a news conference on Wednesday.

指导意见概述了加速大规模AI模型的计划，以促进其深入融入教育。周大旺在周三的新闻发布会上说，它还提出了对高等教育和职业培训中的学术课程的调整，以更好地满足高级制造业和现代服务部门的需求。

Yang Zongkai, chair of the ministry's national expert committee on education digitalization and president of Wuhan University of Technology in Hubei province, said AI is rapidly transforming labor markets and knowledge creation, urging a rethink of talent cultivation models.

教育部教育数字化专家咨询委员会主任、武汉理工大学校长杨宗凯表示，AI正在迅速改变劳动力市场和知识创造，敦促重新考虑人才培养模式。

"AI is not only reshaping how we teach and learn, but also bringing new possibilities for educational innovation," Yang said. "The guideline stipulates to nurture students' advanced thinking, judgment and practical abilities through intelligent education reform."

“人工智能不仅在重塑教与学的方式，也为教育创新带来全新可能，”他说，“文件明确提出，要通过智能教育改革培养学生的高级思维、判断力和实践能力。”

China will continue to build education AI models, support pilot applications and develop model classrooms that integrate AI into teaching and assessment. Educators will be trained to use AI to design more challenging and creative learning experiences, he added.

中国将继续构建教育AI模型，支持试点应用，并建设融合教学与评价功能的AI示范课堂。他补充说，教师将接受培训，学会利用AI设计更具挑战性和创造性的学习体验。

The ministry has launched national AI learning platforms across all education stages and introduced models for 13 disciplines including computer science, chemistry and materials science.

目前教育部已在各学段部署国家级AI学习平台，并推出涵盖计算机、化学、材料科学等13个学科的AI教学模型。

Wuhan University of Technology, for example, has deployed an AI Assistant 2.0 system and built applications such as AI Study Assistant and AI HR Assistant to support smart campus development, Yang said.

杨宗凯说，例如，武汉理工大学已部署AI助理2.0系统，开发了“AI学习助理”“AI人事助理”等应用，支持智慧校园建设。

Lu Jiang, Party secretary of Shenzhen Mingde Experimental School in Guangdong province, said the school has implemented AI from lesson planning and teaching to assessment and administrative management.

广东省深圳市明德实验学校党委书记鲁江表示，该校已在备课、教学、评价及行政管理等多个环节全面引入人工智能。

The school is refining AI curricula across different grade levels, he said. Primary students are introduced to AI through activities, while high school students are encouraged to delve into innovation and cross-disciplinary problem-solving, he said.

他介绍，学校正在按学段完善AI课程体系，小学通过活动引导学生初识AI，高中则鼓励学生参与创新实践和跨学科问题解决。

The curriculum will stress computing and design thinking, ethical training and practical skills development. The school plans to deepen its collaboration with research institutions such as The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and leading tech firms to build advanced AI laboratories and produce cutting-edge educational resources, Lu said.

未来，课程还将加强计算思维、设计思维、伦理素养和实践能力的培养。鲁江说，学校还计划与香港中文大学（深圳）等科研机构和科技龙头企业加深合作，建设先进的AI实验室，打造前沿教育资源。

According to Zhou from the education ministry, two guidelines have been drafted for AI education and use in primary and secondary schools, providing references for schools to adopt AI in a human-centered and ethically sound manner.

周大旺指出，教育部目前已起草两份针对中小学人工智能教育和应用的指南，为学校在“以人为本”和伦理可控的前提下引入AI提供参考。
