China will establish a tiered AI education system spanning primary, junior high, and senior high schools.

At the primary school level, AI literacy will be prioritised through exposure to voice recognition and image classification.

Junior high school students will deepen their understanding of AI logic, examine machine learning processes, and develop critical thinking to identify misinformation in generative AI outputs.

In senior secondary education, students will use accumulated AI knowledge to design and refine AI algorithm models, while cultivating interdisciplinary systems thinking.

To achieve these goals, the teacher training framework will be adapted, and curricula will be changed. Teachers are encouraged to  empower generative AI tools to construct interactive teaching and create immersive learning experiences.

At the same time, the Ministry of Education prohibits students from submitting AI-generated content as academic work or examination responses. Teachers are requested cultivate learners’ capacity for critical thinking of AI outputs, thereby fostering authentic engagement in information processing.

From September 2025, AI-generated content (text and images) must be watermarked.
