ABSTRACT

This white paper outlines a strategic framework for educational institutions to integrate AI effectively, guiding them through five stages: Exploration, Incorporation, Proliferation, Optimization, and Transformation. At each stage, it provides actionable steps to help institutions adopt AI responsibly and effectively while moving to the next level. The paper highlights the importance of fostering students’ intelligence quotient (IQ), emotional quotient (EQ), and the new paramount adaptability quotient (AQ), preparing them for an AI-driven future. The model addresses how teaching and learning can evolve along technological aspects, aiming to prepare students for a rapidly evolving workforce through adaptive and competency-based education.
