South Korea’s Ministry of Education said on 8 June 2023 that AI digital textbooks would start in 2025 in maths, English and informatics for grades 3 and 4 of primary school and the first year of middle and high school. The plan added grades and subjects each year to 2028, when digital textbooks would cover all subjects except music, art, physical education and ethics; grades 1 and 2 were excluded.

Why it matters

Korean publishers and edtech firms were given a date to build AI textbooks for core subjects, and schools a timetable for moving lessons onto devices.
