Only 29% of students believe their teachers are able to guide them on AI, and only 5% believe that these tools have transformed their learning.
The Digital Education Council publishes one of the most extensive surveys of AI in higher education: 45,398 responses collected in 35 countries, including 27,284 students and 18,114 teachers. The size of the sample allows general impressions to emerge and to measure regional differences.
The first gap is that of accompaniment: only 29% of students think their teachers are equipped to guide them in the use of AI, while 64% of teachers say they have been trained in digital literacy. The perception of training and its perceived effect therefore do not coincide.
Educational benefit far from being acquired
The second observation tempers the narratives of an ongoing revolution: 5% of students believe that AI has transformed their learning and 28% that it improves their understanding, while 42% consider it only a little useful and 24% see no clear benefit. The survey also notes a decline in adoption intentions among North American teachers (-9 points to 67%) when the Asia-Pacific region remains much more optimistic, and notes that 43% of North American students would support a widespread ban on AI in their schools. Finally, 72% of students doubt that current assessments reflect what the world of work will expect from them.
