Slovakia’s Ministry of Education launched the “AI Days” development project to support 100 primary and secondary schools in organizing professional events focused on responsible AI use in education. The initiative promotes peer learning among teachers, facilitates sharing of good practices, and builds institutional capacity for AI integration.
Participating schools receive guidance and support materials for organizing events where teaching staff can discuss AI opportunities, ethical considerations, and practical classroom applications. The project is part of the broader Responsible Use of AI in Education Plan 2025-2027.
Who it affects: Teachers and school leaders at 100 participating schools; professional development facilitators; pupils in participating schools (indirectly, through improved teacher practice).
What is notably missing: Project covers only 100 schools of thousands nationally; no mandatory participation requirement; no measurable learning outcomes or teacher competency assessment; no dedicated funding per school; no provision for schools without basic digital infrastructure to participate; no worker guarantee that engagement in AI training protects against later displacement; no explicit evaluation or evidence-gathering mechanism to inform policy expansion.
