Empowering students in an AI-Driven world

Swiss International Scientific School Dubai (SISD) is celebrating International Day of Education 2025 under the theme “AI and Education: Human Agency in an Automated World.” As a leading IB World School, we are engaging with this global event to spotlight our commitment to guiding our students in the ethical and innovative use of artificial intelligence in education.

Our student-led Digital Council are passionate young leaders dedicated to exploring the transformative potential of AI. Our Digital Council is hoping to host a special assembly to educate other SISD students on the ethical use of AI, showcasing projects that address its impact on individuals, society and communities. 

At SISD, we have embraced AI to enhance our teaching and learning practices, employing tools like personalised chatbots and language support technologies that enable independent inquiry, streamline feedback processes, and create tailored learning experiences. These innovations not only improve student engagement and attainment but also support teachers in managing workloads more effectively.

The International Day of Education, observed annually on January 24, celebrates the pivotal role of education in fostering global peace and development. As part of the celebration, our students will explore how AI can drive positive change while maintaining a human-centred approach, reflecting our school's commitment to fostering global-minded leaders. The special day underscores SISD's broader mission to prepare its students for the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow.
