Minister for Education John Cortes and Director of Education Keri Scott represented Gibraltar at the Education World Forum in London earlier this week. The event was attended by over 150 Ministers for Education from around the world, as well as Education professionals and representatives of organisations and companies that work in Education. 

The event provided an opportunity for participants to be updated on developments in the field. A great deal of emphasis was placed throughout the conference on Artificial Intelligence and its use in the Education setting, with the consensus being that it presented major opportunities for improving Education outcomes at all levels. 

Minister for Education, John Cortes, said: “We were very pleased to see how our aims and our progress in developing Education in Gibraltar aligns so closely with those countries leading in Education outcomes. It also highlighted the importance of embracing AI as an educational tool, something which I will most certainly champion to ensure that Gibraltar does not lag behind in this important area.”
