Only 6% of teachers say their school’s AI policy is clear
A survey reported by The Next Web found that just 6% of teachers describe their school's AI policy as clear, suggesting most educators are operating without firm institutional guidance on how to handle AI in the classroom.
Why this matters: Students are using AI right now. So are some teachers. And nearly every school in this picture is winging it. When policy is murky, decisions about data collection, surveillance tools, or AI-graded work get made quietly by whoever happens to be in the room. Kids do not get to opt out. Parents rarely know what tools are being used or what student data those tools touch. Schools cannot manage risks they have not defined.
