Families want schools to prepare students for Artificial Intelligence

Notícias de Coimbra8 September 2026 at 17:21

Portuguese families advocate that schools should take a more active role in preparing students for the use of Artificial Intelligence. This expectation arises at a time when AI-based technology is increasingly present in daily life and the job market.

Parents and guardians consider that the education system should keep pace with technological evolution, preparing students not only to use these tools, but also to understand their risks and potential.

The training of teachers and the curricular integration of AI-related content are some of the measures identified as necessary to address this family concern.

This debate arises in a broader context of reflection on the role of education in the face of rapid technological advances that characterize today's society.
