Teaching Students AI in Schools

Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a future issue; it already shapes work and learning. Hungary’s Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2025-2030 identifies preparing society and the labour market for AI-driven changes as a key priority. As part of this effort, organised teaching of AI has been introduced into vocational education and training (VET), with the new subject ’Fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence‘ at its core.

Ninth‑grade VET students already learning about AI

The initiative started with a 10‑hour pilot programme involving 60 VET institutions and nearly 1 700 students. The results confirmed that AI should be addressed at institutional level in education, and both students and teachers showed strong interest in the topic. 

Feedback from the pilot revealed that many students already had basic knowledge of AI and were particularly interested in practical applications and real‑world problem‑solving. At the same time, students and teachers indicated development needs and asked for more time, more practical tasks and deeper engagement with the topic. Based on this feedback, the curriculum was revised and expanded to 12 hours, allowing for more practice‑oriented and in‑depth learning.
