A survey reveals a significant gap in AI training between private and state schools in England. The Sutton Trust report indicates that independent schools have greater resources to invest in AI solutions. According to the Teacher Tapp poll of over 10,000 teachers, 45% of private school teachers received formal AI training, versus only 21% of state school teachers. Private schools show a marked advantage in implementing AI policies and comprehensive training, with disparities evident in AI usage statistics, notably that 17% of state school teachers use no AI at all.
A report by the social mobility charity Sutton Trust indicates that independent schools, often in wealthier areas, possess greater resources and can afford to invest in more sophisticated AI solutions.
Findings drawn from a Teacher Tapp poll of over 10,000 teachers across England show a stark contrast: 45 per cent of private school teachers have received formal AI training, compared to just 21 per cent in state schools.
Private schools are ahead of the game on setting AI policies, dedicating staff to oversee its use, and providing comprehensive training and resources.
17 percent of state school teachers report no AI use whatsoever, against only 8 percent in private schools, indicating significant disparities in technology adoption.
