95% of Hong Kong Students Use AI; Now Teachers Must Get 30 Hours of Training
A staggering 95% of Hong Kong students already use AI for schoolwork, with 1 in 4 unable to complete homework without it. The government’s response is a new mandate for 30 hours of digital education training for all teachers, funded by a HK$500,000 grant per school. This policy marks a turning point in AI governance in education, prioritizing teacher upskilling to match student AI adoption.
