The Lagos State Ministry of Education has urged teachers to guide students on the responsible use of artificial intelligence, warning against its misuse as a shortcut for completing academic tasks.
The call came as the ministry, in partnership with Paradigm Initiative, trained 76 teachers from 40 secondary schools in Education District III on the ethical application of AI in teaching and learning.
Speaking at the AI Literacy Workshop for Teachers, the Assistant Director at the Education District III headquarters, Mrs Ololade Omoshalewa, said the training was designed to equip teachers with the knowledge required to help students use AI responsibly in the classroom.
She acknowledged concerns that students could rely on AI to complete assignments but stressed that the solution was not to discourage the technology but to teach learners how to use it appropriately.
