“AI for Science Education” Funding Programme

 

To tie in with the Chief Executive’s proposal in the 2024 Policy Address for continuously promoting STEAM education in primary and secondary schools, including supporting teachers in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in teaching, the Education Bureau (EDB) continues to enhance information technology education and promote the close integration of innovation and technology (including AI) with education. We are now launching a pilot programme in junior secondary Science, to support schools in integrating AI into learning and teaching, thereby strengthening AI education.


The “AI for Science Education” Funding Programme is supported by the Quality Education Fund. For the details of the programme, please refer to EDBCM No. 227/2024.


Enhance science teachers’ capacity in AI-assisted teaching, encourage schools to arrange for teachers to participate in professional development programmes and conduct trial lessons, thereby promoting pedagogical innovations and enhancing students’ learning effectiveness.


Publicly-funded secondary schools include government secondary schools, aided secondary schools (including special schools providing local junior secondary curriculum), caput secondary schools, and secondary schools under the Direct Subsidy Scheme are eligible to apply the “AI for Science Education” Funding Programme.


Successful applicant schools will receive a one-off funding of $100,000.


Schools intending to participate in the Funding Programme are requested to complete the attached Application Form and Undertaking (Annex 1 of EDBCM No. 227/2024) and return it to the Science Education Section by mail or fax on or before 28 February 2025. Schools applying for the Funding Programme will generally be notified of the results on or before 31 March 2025.
