Hope and Rural Aid Foundation (HARAF) celebrates the International Day of Education 2025. The theme of this year: “AI and Education: Preserving Human Agency in the World of Automation.” This theme underscores the importance of integrating artificial intelligence into educational systems while ensuring that human agency remains at the forefront educating the future.
As AI becomes increasingly prevalent in classrooms and educational tools, it offers countless opportunities for personalized learning, efficiency, and innovation. However, it is crucial to maintain a balance between technological advancement and human-centric education.
HARAF have emphasized that by prioritizing critical thinking, creativity, and ethical considerations, educators can leverage AI to enhance learning experiences without compromising the intrinsic value of human input and decision-making, always taking note that education is for the human and not the machines, hence, AI is a learning tool, just like our books and pens, though advanced.
HARAF’s celebration serves as a reminder of the need to cultivate an educational environment where technology complements rather than replaces human abilities, ensuring that learners remain active and empowered participants in their educational journeys.
At HARAF our proposition is for an educational system that empowers population with workable knowledge that motivate innovation and productivity in the people, using both machine and non-machine learning tools.
