Select Government school complexes (a cluster of high school, middle, and primary schools) in the state may soon be able to use artificial intelligence-based tools to automate time-consuming and resource-intensive processes such as formative assessments, marking attendance, and logging mid-day meal data, among others. They will also be used to teach English and, later, other languages.
These artificial intelligence-based tools will be implemented as a pilot project in chosen school complexes in Moinabad by the Prof Raj Centre at IIIT-H, which is trying to develop artificial technologies and technology solutions for the grassroots.
A delegation from the IIIT-H met with select school complex headmasters, resource individuals, and Education Department officials to study challenges at the grassroots level.
We intend to meet with the affected parties again and establish detailed arrangements for the technological solutions that are conceivable. We want to make sure that the technologies are ready for the upcoming academic year. These would be short-term initiatives of three to six months duration, with the goal of addressing the difficulties as soon as possible, stated Ramesh Loganathan, Co-Innovation Professor at IIIT-H.
We discovered that a significant amount of manual labour is needed in data collection as well as data feeding into the education site. This information is critical, but it takes time to collect. We plan to investigate how artificial intelligence-powered cameras, speech recognition technology, and other tools may be utilised to track attendance, midday meals, and other activities. We will enlist the help of startups or technological companies that already have appropriate technologies. We will construct certain research technology, he stated.

The New Education Policy requires formative assessment of students. Teachers must evaluate each class once a week and report on who comprehended the idea and who did not. Experienced teachers can tell who is understanding the information and who isn’t by monitoring students’ body language, expressions, attentiveness, and the types of questions they ask in class. To assess the kids on these traits, we will employ an AI-based camera system and model it. It can provide a report that teachers can use to plan additional support for pupils who have received a low grade. The recommendations can be validated by the teacher, and the algorithm will learn as a result. The same thing may be used to track attendance, Loganathan stated.
We have technologies that can teach spoken languages. So it is something we have already begun to construct. We’re trying it in with the high school curriculum. For each English lesson, the system will say a series of sentences, which the class or individual pupils will repeat. Based on how students perform, the algorithm will recommend corrections. The same may be true for other languages, he added of the experimental project that will employ technology to solve difficulties on the ground.
