I am excited to be invited by the Department of Basic Education to present at this year’s Lekgotla, in the Artificial Intelligence in Education session, alongside Shafika Isaacs (PhD) and Julie de Barbeyrac!
I’m presenting on “Upskilling Government Officials and School Leaders in AI” – addressing the critical need for AI literacy in education governance. The presentation covers foundational concepts of AI literacy, how machine learning models function, their applications in everyday tools and frameworks for ethical use in education. The presentation emphasises the importance of teacher professional development and a need to rethink assessments.
