World Teachers' Day highlights evolving role of educators in AI era
On World Teachers' Day, educators and officials in Spain and Greece are highlighting the evolving role of teachers in an era dominated by artificial intelligence and instant access to information.
In Spain, Emiliano García-Page and philosopher Magdalena Reyes Puig emphasize that while information is more accessible than ever, the core mission of education remains teaching students how to ask the right questions, verify sources, and distinguish fact from opinion. They argue that having access to answers does not equate to true understanding or learning.
In Greece, celebrations and informative events are being held to honor the profession. In Thessaloniki, the Directorate of Primary Education of East Thessaloniki is hosting events to showcase teacher contributions and present new educational initiatives. Meanwhile, in Crete, Eleni Maraki, Special Advisor for Education and Lifelong Learning, asserts that despite technological advancements, nothing can replace the human presence of a teacher who helps children think critically, collaborate, and build confidence.
