Education & human capital

Schools and training programmes can use AI to support learning. They are also where people learn to judge its output, a skill every other sector depends on.

KEY QUESTION

Can people learn to use AI well, in their own language and at their own pace?

Priorities are editorial judgements by Cyprus AI Monitor about public value and the attention each sector needs. They are not official strategy rankings, readiness scores or EU AI Act risk categories.

What AI could help with

Learners could practise explaining and checking an AI answer, while teachers adapt exercises to different levels.

These are examples of possible uses. They do not describe systems already in use or promise any benefit.

What needs to be in place

Check that people actually learn, protect children’s information and make access possible for people with disabilities or limited connectivity.

What the evidence shows

Published figures for Cyprus. These supplementary measures are not part of the index score.

Digital foundationCurated observation

Internet users taking an online course

17.8%

Observation period:

Share of internet users aged 16–74 who took an online course in the first quarter of 2025.

Limitations

The share is of internet users rather than all residents. Courses on any subject count, and taking a course does not demonstrate AI literacy.

What we still need to know

Online-course participation and general digital skills do not show AI literacy. Measuring it would require practical tests across age groups and languages.

How progress could be measured

Proposed measures for future data collection. No values have been published for them.

  • Ability to spot an invented source and protect personal information in practical tasks.
  • Learning retained after training, with results by age and access needs.
