National professional learning is being developed and delivered through the “Teaching Digital with Confidence” programme to support teachers in understanding and using AI effectively. The programme is designed to build confidence with emerging technologies, deepen understanding of AI, and strengthen digital and computing pedagogy.
Learning opportunities are being developed by the Welsh Government working with Dysgu and school improvement partners. Dysgu plays a central role in supporting schools and practitioners to engage with AI in ways reflecting school improvement priorities and Curriculum for Wales values.
This represents mandated and funded teacher training on AI, with specific emphasis on ethical and effective use.
Who it affects: Teachers across primary and secondary schools in Wales; school improvement partners; professional development leaders.
What is notably missing: Specific training standards or competency frameworks; timeline for full rollout; specification of whether completion is mandatory; clarity on how training addresses subject-specific AI integration.
