This alarming statistic highlights the need for innovative and impactful solutions to address the learning crisis. The learning crisis is not just a problem of access to education; it’s a complex issue with multiple contributing factors. These factors include poverty, gender inequality, conflict, displacement, and lack of adequate learning resources.
The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is developing a new educational chatbot platform called aprendIA, powered by OpenAI’s ChatGPT. This platform aims to provide personalized learning experiences to crisis-affected communities, focusing on teachers and parents. The IRC plans to use ChatGPT for content creation, support overstretched teachers, and personalize digital education experiences to enhance learning outcomes and empower teachers. They also intend to research the ethical and effective use of AI in education.
