Dhaka, Aug. 26 -- Starting September 1, 2025, China will implement a major education reform requiring all students, beginning at age six, to take artificial intelligence (AI) classes. As part of the country's national plan to become a global leader in AI innovation, students will receive at least eight hours of AI instruction each year.

Younger children will engage in hands-on learning activities, while older students will study robotics, machine learning, and practical AI applications. Schools will prepare teachers, revise curricula, and integrate AI lessons into STEM education.
