The Department for Education said on 30 October 2023 it would invest up to £2 million in Oak National Academy to improve AI tools, a quiz designer and a lesson planner, and offer them free to teachers in England. Oak’s curriculum resources would also open to edtech firms and AI developers, and the department ran a two-day AI hackathon with Faculty AI and the National Institute of Teaching from the same day.

Why it matters

Teachers in England got state-funded AI planning tools aimed at cutting workload, built on a public curriculum dataset that AI developers could use.
