Minister of Technology and Science Felix Mutati says integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the education sector will improve the quality of learning and ensure equal access to high-standard education for learners across the country.

Speaking during the signing ceremony of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Ministry of Technology and Science and Obrizum Group Ltd on collaboration for a pilot project on AI integration in education, Mr Mutati said the initiative will pilot AI in secondary schools and TEVET institutions to enhance personalized learning and improve academic outcomes.

Mr Mutati explained that the project aligns with government’s broader education reforms aimed at strengthening access and quality following the introduction of free education.

“Artificial Intelligence will allow us to bridge the gap in the delivery of quality education by ensuring that every learner, regardless of where they are, has access to the same high standards,” Mr Mutati said.

Meanwhile, Obrizum Group Ltd Chief Executive Officer Chibeza Agley said the project will support both students and educators by improving the speed and efficiency of teaching while providing deeper insights into learning patterns.
