Minister of State for Education Sun Xueling has said that the use of educational technology in schools aims to complement the role of teachers in helping students learn higher-level skills.
Ms Sun was responding in Parliament on to Dr Tan Wu Meng who asked what safeguards are in place to ensure the proposed artificial intelligence marking system for certain assignments does not undermine students’ ability to develop creativity.
Ms Sun said the immediate feedback that students receive through the automated system can encourage them to be more self-directed in their learning.
