Harish Chandra Joshi · Co-founder & COOAsk any teacher what they would do with more time, and the answer is almost always the same: spend it with students. Yet a large share of a teacher's week goes into lesson preparation, correcting work, maintaining records, writing reports and handling administration.
AI won't replace the human connection at the heart of teaching. But it can take on much of the routine work that keeps teachers away from it.
AI can help teachers draft lesson plans aligned to the curriculum, generate practice questions at different difficulty levels, create examples relevant to students' lives and adapt materials for different learning needs. The teacher stays the expert, reviewing and refining, but starts from a strong draft instead of a blank page.
Correcting work is one of the most time-consuming parts of teaching. AI can assist with objective questions, highlight common mistakes across a class and suggest personalised feedback for each student. The teacher reviews and adds the human judgement, which is especially important for essays and creative work.
Attendance, report cards, parent communication and record-keeping can all be simplified with well-designed digital systems and AI assistance, such as drafting progress notes, summarising a student's performance over a term or translating messages for parents.
The goal of AI in schools should be simple: less paperwork, more teaching.
Schools don't need to transform everything at once. Begin with one area, such as lesson preparation or parent communication. Train teachers properly, gather their feedback and expand what works. Teachers who feel supported, not replaced, become the strongest champions of change.

Harish Chandra JoshiCo-founder & COOEvery student learns at a different pace and in a different way, but a single teacher with forty students cannot personalise every lesson. Thoughtfully used, AI can help close that gap.
