Interesting and thoughtful points of view, eloquently put across in the Year 7-8 Inter-House debating this week on the subject ‘This House Supports the Use of AI in Secondary Education’. The semi-finals saw Khartoum take on China and Victoria go head to head with Windsor. Those on the proposition teams felt AI to be beneficial to teaching staff as it leads to saved time, better lesson plans, more effective learning, improved digital literacy and rather than replacing imagination, unlocks it. However, in opposition, it was felt that AI presents significant risk to students, making them lazy and leading to a decline in their skills for retaining information and cognitive abilities and could never replace the profound impact of teachers on students. The winning Houses, Khartoum and Victoria will debate next week in the final.
