School Principal, Rajesh Krishna, says while the implementation of AI tools in the classroom is the way forward for the education system in Fiji, it must be used responsibly.
“It’s now very important that the whole world is rapidly changing towards using AI tools. Therefore, we also have to prepare our students to fit into that rapidly changing world. So I, as a school leader, feel that we should all work towards integrating this technology. But using this technology it has to be used responsibly.”
