Bulgaria promotes AI‑driven school tools while warning against screen use for toddlers

Klet Bulgaria, a Bulgarian educational publisher, is expanding its product range with AI‑enhanced resources. The company combines traditional paper textbooks with interactive digital content, such as QR‑coded physics workbooks for 8th‑grade students, and runs a free Digital Academy that has trained over 1,000 teachers on using AI for lesson planning and material creation.

A separate systematic analysis involving several UK universities highlights the health risks of screen exposure for children under two years old. Researchers warn that early and frequent contact with televisions, tablets, and smartphones can delay language development, limit parent‑child interaction and lead to overstimulation. The study recommends that infants and toddlers avoid intentional screen time altogether and calls for clearer guidance for parents and policymakers.
