The Coming Tsunami of AI in Education
As artificial intelligence evolves at an exponential pace, schools stand at a crossroads. The latest OECD projections suggest that 92% of current teaching methods will be fundamentally transformed by AI within five years. Yet most schools remain dangerously unprepared for this seismic shift. The question isn't whether AI will change education—it's how schools can harness it responsibly.
EdRuption, through the visionary leadership of AI education strategist Philippa Wraithmell, is pioneering a new generation of school digital transformation services specifically designed for the AI era.
The AI Preparedness Gap Exposed
Recent education digital audits in Dubai and worldwide reveal alarming deficiencies:
87% of schools lack an AI integration roadmap
Only 14% of teachers have received any AI pedagogy training
63% of current curricula fail to address AI literacy
91% of school leaders feel unprepared for generative AI's impact
"Our audits show most schools are playing catch-up with AI," warns Wraithmell. "A proper digital strategy for schools today must be, at its core, an AI adoption strategy."
EdRuption's AI Readiness Framework
1. The AI Maturity Assessment
EdRuption's proprietary diagnostic evaluates:
Infrastructure readiness for AI tools
