Today's education news is dominated by a global push to limit screens and AI in classrooms, from Norway's near-total ban on AI for young children to Victoria's mandate for device-free time in high schools. Meanwhile, a critique of Silicon Valley's anti-intellectualism questions the values tech elites are exporting to education.
Two government actions this week signal a growing regulatory skepticism toward technology in classrooms.
Norway is banning AI use for children aged 6-13 starting late August, with only supervised use allowed for 14-16 year olds. The government argues AI could hinder development of cognitive and social skills, following an earlier smartphone ban in schools.
Victorian high schools will require daily 'device-free time' from 2027, with flexibility to use whiteboards, paper, debates, or experiments. The article examines what research says about effective device-free learning.
Beyond policy, a broader cultural critique questions the assumptions tech leaders bring to education.
A critique in The Nation argues that Silicon Valley elites, who built wealth on knowledge, now undermine the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake. It uses examples like a Suno CEO claiming musicians don't enjoy making music to illustrate this anti-intellectualism.
An argument that fear of AI taking jobs is misplaced; the real challenge is preparing young learners with foundational skills for a changing economy. Draws on historical parallels to the industrial revolution and internet.
