How to read this

Figures come from the 2023 programme: about 50 teachers trained over two days, about 20 school directors in a separate session, and a live example in which a report that took about 4 hours was drafted in 15 minutes (about 94% less time; the page shows the more cautious -70%).

The Context

In 2023 the Estonian Ministry of Education and Research ran a programme, delivered with ETKA Andras, to help schools use generative AI safely and in practice. We trained about 50 teachers over two days, working mostly on classroom cases, and about 20 school directors in a separate session.

The Problem

AI was seen mainly as a cheating risk.

Teachers needed a practical view of how AI could support planning, feedback and administration.

School directors were overloaded with reports.

Principals spent weekends writing reports instead of leading schools.

Teachers needed applied practice.

They needed workflows they could use the following Monday, not only a theory lecture.

Practical tools, not just slides.

We built teacher assistants aligned with the Estonian curriculum and used live examples to plan lessons and draft reports.

What we built

  1. Classroom cases teachers could use straight away.

  2. Grade 8 physics assistant aligned to the curriculum.

  3. Student-safe setup and clear use boundaries.

How it works

  • Two-day course for teachers, plus a session for school directors

  • AI assistants that match the curriculum

  • Privacy-first setup

The Impact

Report work moved from hours to minutes.

In a live example, a report that took 4 hours was drafted in 15 minutes.

AI became easier to evaluate.

Teachers and directors saw where it helps, where human review stays required, and how to introduce it responsibly.
