Crucially, under the tenth strategy "Bring together various stakeholders, including professional bodies, to jointly build a digital education ecosystem for primary and secondary schools", the EDB explicitly listed a vital action point:
"Continue to collaborate with The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust and relevant tertiary institutions to implement the 'JC GoAI' Project, enabling teachers to collaborate across different subjects, pilot AI teaching, and develop related learning and teaching resources."With the EDB as our project partner, the JC GoAI Project has been fully aligned with the key implementation strategies of this newly released Blueprint since its inception. Especially, integrating AI learning elements into primary and secondary curricula to achieve "AI + Subjects" remains a cornerstone objective of JC GoAI.
Responses from School Leaders and Project Committee Members
Following the official announcement of the Blueprint, various media outlets interviewed Principal Andy Li, an Advisory Committee Member of JC GoAI, and Principal Cheng Suk Wah, a Project Management Committee Member, to discuss how the project supports the Blueprint and share the school sector's perspective.Principal Cheng Suk Wah of Tuen Mun Catholic Secondary School said her school was already using AI to help teachers design lesson plans and build student AI literacy. So far, AI has helped with tests and assignments rather than formal exams. Past experience participating in the JC GoAI Project has allowed teachers to go beyond conventional training by directly participating in instructional co-design and classroom practices. Complemented by comprehensive parent seminars and workshops, the project ensures that teachers, students, and parents alike truly appreciate the value of human-centric AI education.
