THE government is spending £3 million on a “content bank” of resources for tech companies to create AI tools to help teachers in England.

Developers will be able to train their AI models on the Department for Education’s (DfE) teaching standards, guidelines and lesson plans.

This will allow them to generate “accurate, high-quality content” such as workbooks and lesson plans, according to the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology.
