dc.description.abstractAs AI reshapes economies, labour markets and transforms the roles of teachers and students, teachers must be equipped with AI literacy and ethical awareness to prepare learners for emerging careers. Integrating AI into teacher education ensures that educators can guide students’ in responsible use of technology. UNESCO (2024) acknowledges teachers as the primary users of AI in education as well as designers and facilitators of students’ learning. They are also recognised as role models for lifelong learning about AI. Yet, many teacher educators are not up to date with the use of AI in teaching and learning nor in role modeling for lifelong learning about AI, an indication that they are unable to be guardians of safe and ethical practice across AI-rich educational environments. In addition, many teacher education institutions in East Africa face challenges such as large class sizes, limited instructional resources, and uneven access to updated materials, digital capacity gaps. AI can support lesson preparation, assessment design, and access to high-quality digital content, professional development, mentoring, and coaching, thereby strengthening the quality of teacher training. AI can support differentiated instruction, assistive technologies, translation tools, and adaptive learning systems that promote equity and inclusion. This Regional Curriculum Framework for Artificial Intelligence (AI) provides guidance to teacher educators on integrating AI in teaching, learning and research; and promoting ethical and responsible use of AI.
