AI push in classrooms prompts states to recalibrate policies

The conversation around Artificial Intelligence (AI) in India’s school system has shifted decisively from intent to implementation. What was once a policy ambition is now entering classrooms, with the Centre’s plan to embed AI and Computational Thinking (AI & CT) beginning from Class III in the 2026-27 academic year aligned with NEP 2020 and NCF SE 2023, beginning to translate into action.

As implementation gathers pace, states are beginning to recalibrate policy frameworks to align with the national push.
