AI Curriculum Launch Delayed in Jalandhar Amid Infrastructure and Training Challenges
The Punjab government has introduced artificial intelligence (AI) as a subject for Classes 8 to 12 under the Sarbat.AI project, aiming to prepare students for emerging technologies. However, in Jalandhar district, only about 20% of government schools have upgraded computer labs, and many lack functional equipment and necessary software. The AI curriculum launch has been delayed due to pending teacher training, now rescheduled for mid-November. Officials and educators express concerns over infrastructure and readiness challenges ahead of the program's rollout.
