The presentation reinforced CSL’s role as a proactive contributor to shaping effective AI policies in the educational sector.
Good afternoon!
Esteemed colleagues and participants!
It is an honor to be here today as we delve into one of the most significant topics shaping the future of education—the regulation and ethical use of Artificial Intelligence in our schools and universities. As AI continues to revolutionize how we teach, learn, and manage educational systems, it is essential that we navigate its integration thoughtfully, ensuring that technology serves as an enabler of equity, inclusion, and high-quality education. Today, we will explore both the opportunities and challenges presented by AI, and how regulation can help us strike a balance between innovation and safeguarding the fundamental values that underpin education.”
The Center for School Leadership (CSL) prioritizes the integration of artificial intelligence in education, recognizing its transformative potential to enhance learning, improve decision-making, and streamline administrative processes.
As educational leaders, it is our responsibility to ensure that AI is harnessed in a way that not only drives innovation but also maintains the integrity and inclusivity of our educational systems. By embracing AI, we aim to empower both educators and students, fostering environments where technology supports personalized learning, efficient resource management, and informed leadership. As we explore the use of AI, we must also commit to ethical considerations and regulatory frameworks that protect the core values of education.”
At the Center for School Leadership (CSL), we are set to launch comprehensive analyses aimed at aligning technology with educational practices. In collaboration with Dr. Howard Gardner’s theory on multiple intelligences, we will be conducting a pilot project to assess students’ unique intelligences. Based on these assessments, we plan to develop tailored curricula and lesson plans that match their individual strengths and inclinations. Although this initiative will require considerable effort, we believe it holds substantial promise in advancing personalized education and enhancing learning outcomes.
Additionally, in partnership with other donors, Center for School Leadership will soon implement an AI-driven system designed to leverage multiple intelligences for personalized career guidance. This innovative system will assess students’ strengths and inclinations, such as a propensity for mathematical logic, and guide them toward appropriate educational pathways, like scientific disciplines in higher education. This initiative aims to provide students with clearer, tailored guidance to help them make informed decisions about their future careers.
Concurrent with this initiative, a pressing concern in Albania—one that resonates deeply across the educational landscape—is the consistently low performance in PISA assessments. We believe one contributing factor is the lack of critical thinking skills among students, as educational institutions have not sufficiently equipped them to think outside the box. The integration of methodologies based on multiple intelligences encourages the development of critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving abilities. We are confident that, if these approaches are implemented in schools, they will significantly enhance students’ capacities and, ultimately, their performance in assessments like PISA.
In conclusion, as we explore the vast potential of artificial intelligence in education, it is critical to ensure that its integration is guided by thoughtful and robust regulatory frameworks. These regulations will not only protect the integrity of educational practices but also ensure that AI is used responsibly and ethically. By doing so, we can maximize its benefits—creating a future where personalized learning, enhanced decision-making, and equity in education are fully realized. I look forward to continuing this important dialogue and working together to shape an AI-driven educational landscape that truly serves the best interests of students and educators alike.
