Delhi Govt, SCERT to Train 100 Teachers in AI for Personalised Learning & Smart Assessments

In a step towards building future-ready classrooms, the Delhi government and the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) will train 100 school teachers in using Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to personalise learning and enhance classroom assessments.

The two-day hands-on training, scheduled for October 8 and 9, will be conducted under the ‘AI-Mediated Classroom Project’, a special initiative aimed at helping teachers integrate AI technologies into daily teaching and administrative tasks.

According to SCERT, the project will be rolled out in two phases. In the first phase, 100 Computer Science teachers from 50 government schools will participate in capacity-building sessions. These teachers will later serve as master trainers, guiding their peers in effectively using AI in education.

The second phase will extend the training to subject teachers of Mathematics, Science, English, Hindi, and Social Science for Classes 6 and 9. Each selected school will nominate three teachers from each subject—making 15 participants per school—to undergo the training.

An SCERT official noted that the initiative is designed not only to enhance classroom learning but also to assist teachers in non-teaching tasks such as preparing PowerPoint presentations, generating ideas for extracurricular activities, and editing visuals.

AI tools like ‘Napkin’ (for generating images from text) and ‘Gamma’ (for quickly creating presentations) are among the applications to be introduced during the sessions.

The official added that follow-up sessions and feedback collection will ensure teachers effectively apply these tools in real classrooms.

With over 1,075 government schools, 16,633 teachers, and 8.24 lakh students in Delhi, the project aims to make teaching more efficient, interactive, and digitally advanced.

“This initiative aligns with our vision to empower educators with 21st-century skills and strengthen digital learning ecosystems across schools,” SCERT said in its circular.
