A survey of 9,000 state secondary teachers in England points to growing unease over AI’s classroom impact, with two-thirds reporting declines in students’ writing, problem-solving and critical thinking. Nearly half oppose the government’s plan to roll out AI tutoring for disadvantaged pupils, fearing it will cut costs at the expense of human interaction, even as 76% of teachers now use AI for lesson planning and administrative tasks. Many schools lack guardrails: roughly half have no AI policies and two-thirds have none for students. Ministers argue AI tutors could widen access to personalized support but insist technology won’t replace core knowledge and disciplinary learning.
