Research from Pearson FTSE: PSON.L, the worlds lifelong learning company, reveals growing concern among educators about how well young people across the UK are being prepared for an AI-driven future.
The data from the Pearson School Report 2025 , which brings together more than 14,000 voices from across the UKs education landscape, shows that 44 of secondary teachers and 31 of primary teachers believe students are not adequately equipped for the impact of artificial intelligence.
While educators recognise AIs potential benefits in the classroom, many feel underprepared to guide students in its effective and responsible use. Almost a quarter 23 of teachers say they are not confident using AI, and only 9 feel confident teaching it. In response, 42 say AI should be included in teacher training a clear call for ensuring teachers have the training and support they need today.
