MOE Committee of Supply 2026 — AI & Education Transformation
2026-03-02 · Parliament 15
The MOE Committee of Supply debate examined AI's structural impact on the education system. MP Darryl David framed AI as more than another tech trend — it is reshaping industries, organisational models and the skills needed to create value. The debate focused on: (1) tiered professional development for teachers — foundational AI tool / digital pedagogy training, advanced curriculum design and ethics, continuous tracking of AI trends; (2) inclusive AI education ensuring students of all abilities benefit; (3) critical thinking — when generative AI can produce essays and code in seconds, the differentiator is independent judgement and critical use of AI; (4) expanding AI and data analytics courses through adult education (e.g. PACE).
