Million students to receive AI training in skills drive
The Independent
|June 09, 2025
Secondary school pupils will be taught new skills to make sure they can get Al-powered jobs in the future, the prime minister is set to announce.
His announcement comes as research commissioned by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology showed that, by 2035, AI will play a part in the roles and responsibilities of around 10 million workers.
One million students will be given access to learning resources to start equipping them for “the tech careers of the future” as part of the government’s £187m “TechFirst” scheme, Downing Street said today.
The announcement came just hours after technology secretary Peter Kyle admitted that AI “does lie”, acknowledging that the technology was “not flawless”.
The TechFirst programme will be split into four strands, with TechYouth – the £24m “flagship” arm – aimed at giving students across every secondary school in the UK the chance to gain new AI skills over three years.
