Educational institutions and governments in China and Japan are advancing the integration of artificial intelligence into teaching and vocational training. In China, Yantai Vocational College has initiated digital teaching reforms, including the inauguration of an industrial humanoid robot training center and the launch of a national vocational education textbook project. In Japan, the Education AI Summit 2026 addressed generative AI usage, data sovereignty, and the changing role of teachers. Building on these technological advancements, China has announced an action plan to integrate AI into its special education system through 2030. ~~This initiative, supported~~ Supported by seven government departments, including the Ministry of Education, the initiative aims to ~~use~~ promote high-quality, integrated special education during the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030). The strategy proposes new human-machine collaboration models, such as AI-supported teachers and intelligent learning assistants, ~~big data, and virtual reality~~ to provide ~~personalized support~~ in-class assistance for students with disabilities and home-based teaching for those with severe impairments. Additionally, the plan encourages using big data and virtual reality to improve digital infrastructure, noting that a dedicated section for special education has already been launched on the national intelligent education platform.
