Artificial Intelligence in Education

In the digital age, achieving quality education means more than just providing access to schools and books. It requires innovative tools that can enhance learning outcomes and support both students and teachers. One such tool is Artificial Intelligence (AI). Schools should adopt AI-based tools to improve education because they allow personalized learning, support teacher effectiveness, and help reduce learning inequality.

First, AI enables personalized learning experiences that adapt to each student's needs. Every learner has a different pace and style of understanding. With AI, students can receive feedback and learning materials tailored to their individual progress. This makes the learning process more effective and motivating, especially for those who may struggle in traditional classroom settings.

Second, AI can help teachers focus on more meaningful teaching tasks. Routine duties such as grading or monitoring attendance can be handled by AI systems, giving teachers more time to guide students and design better lessons. Informed by data, teachers can identify which students need more help and what methods work best for them.

Third, AI has the potential to reduce the education gap between different regions. Students in remote or disadvantaged areas often face limited access to quality resources. AI-powered platforms can deliver learning content, exercises, and even tutoring through digital devices, offering equal learning opportunities regardless of location.

In conclusion, integrating AI into education brings many benefits. It strengthens the learning process, empowers teachers, and helps make education more inclusive. Therefore, schools and policymakers should invest in AI technologies while ensuring ethical use and digital literacy for all learners.

Which of the following phrases best represents the underlying topic of the text? There is more than one correct answer.

Using AI to support personalized and inclusive learning

Reducing the need for human teachers in the classroom

Increasing equity through educational technology

Promoting AI to replace textbooks in modern schools

Supporting teachers through AI-based assistance tools

What is the best overall conclusion the writer wants the readers to understand about AI in education?

A. AI has the potential to improve education, especially by taking over tasks that limit teachers' focus on student learning.

B. AI should be developed further to manage school administration efficiently and reduce human error in grading.

Cinderella and the Court of Fairness

In the Kingdom of Misrule, Cinderella lived with her stepmother and two stepsisters, who treated her like a servant. Every day, they made up unfair rules: "No dinner unless you clean the roof!" or "No sleep until our shoes shine!" Cinderella wanted to speak up, but there were no courts or rules to protect her. The kingdom had no laws, only loud voices and power. People argued, but the weak were ignored.

One day, the prince announced a Peace and Justice Forum to fix the broken system. Citizens could report unfair treatment. Excited but nervous, Cinderella sneaked into the palace with her secret notebook full of the rules forced upon her.

When it was her turn to speak, her stepsisters stood up and shouted, "She's lying! She's just jealous!" The crowd grew noisy. The prince almost ended the forum, but then a fairy judge appeared and banged her staff.

"Everyone deserves a chance to be heard," she said.

Cinderella bravely told her story. She explained how rules at home could be unfair too, and how justice should protect everyone, even the quiet ones.

Her family was given a choice: face punishment or join a learning program about respect and peace. They chose to change.

Why Youth Partnerships Are Crucial to Achieve Global Goals

In the journey to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), youth involvement is often discussed, but not always prioritized. Many believe that only governments and large organizations can create real impact. However, strong youth partnerships, especially those formed through schools, online communities, and NGOs, are key to advancing SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals.

First, based on UNFPA (2023) young people now make up nearly 42% of the world's population under age 25. This means youth are not only the beneficiaries of development efforts but also powerful agents of change. School clubs, student councils, and youth organizations can partner with local communities to address pressing issues such as climate change, digital literacy, or waste management. These collaborations show that partnerships don't always require large-scale resources, they require shared commitment.

Second, today's youth are digitally connected and can build cross-border alliances faster than ever. From creating environmental campaigns on social media to joining international hackathons, students can exchange ideas and co-create solutions beyond their borders. For example, based on SDSN (2022), the Global Schools Program by the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network has empowered students in over 160 countries to take part in SDG action projects through school partnerships.

However, these efforts still face challenges. Many student-led programs are seen as extracurricular rather than essential. Some educators and policymakers underestimate the long-term impact of student partnerships. This mindset must change. Schools and governments should formalize youth collaborations and provide platforms for them to be heard.

In conclusion, youth partnerships are more than symbolic. They are strategic and essential. To truly achieve the SDGs by 2030, we must invest in collaboration that includes and empowers young people as equal partners in shaping the future.

Adopted from: Sustainable Development Solutions Network/SDSN, 2022; United Nations Population Fund/UNFPA, 2023; United Nations Youth Strategy/UN, 2024

Read the paragraph below.

"Based on the United Nations Youth Strategy (2018), youth are not only future leaders, they are partners, stakeholders, and rights-holders. Effective youth participation requires inclusion in policy-making, funding opportunities, and co-leadership of national and global programs. Governments should go beyond symbolic gestures and integrate youth voice in implementation."

Based on the information in the text and paragraph above, determine whether the following statements reflect a synthesized understanding of both sources.

Statement	True	False
The inclusion of youth in national development strategies is as important as their activism.
Youth can co-create solutions through both digital platforms and structural participation.
Governments should give youth several symbolic roles to motivate them to achieve SDG 17.

Read the text carefully. What can be inferred as the writer's purpose in writing this text?

A. To criticize governments that ignore youth voices in policymaking

B. To highlight student achievements in global sustainability competitions

C. To advocate for youth participation as a serious force in achieving SDG 17

D. To explain how NGOs operate without students' involvement in SDG work

E. To report statistical data about youth population and online trends

Imagine the writer wants to expand this text with more examples or data to make it more informative and interesting. Which of the following additional details would support the message of the text? There is more than one correct answer.

A figure showing how school-based clubs around the world are involved in SDG-related programs

An infographic illustrating how online platforms support faster youth collaboration across borders

A visual graph that displays how youth participation in UN forums has increased from 2010 to 2023

A collection of real examples of youth-led SDG actions taking place in countries like Indonesia or Africa

A diagram showing the rise in youth enterprises focused on gaming or competitive e-sports industries

Read the following story.

"Nadia, a 17-year-old student from Bandung, recently joined a workshop called Young Changemakers for the SDGs. In this three-day event, she worked with students from other schools to design a community project about reducing plastic waste. The workshop also encouraged participants to form long-term partnerships with local environmental NGOs and international youth networks. Nadia shared her project ideas through Instagram and got responses from students in Malaysia and Kenya. Her school plans to support the implementation of the project next semester. The workshop inspired Nadia to believe that young people can truly contribute to solving global problems through collaboration and action."

From the text above and Nadia's story, which action best reflects the principle of SDG 17 in students' daily life?

Action	Possible	Impossible
Connecting with students from different countries through social media to create shared solutions for global challenges
Working with social media influencers to promote fashion ideas as part of the SDG campaign without focusing on social actions
