By an ICT Teacher at Vega Schools who believes every child’s future begins today
At Vega Schools, every classroom feels like a little universe filled with imagination, questions, and excitement. As we look ahead, the idea of AI as a New Basic Literacy: Preparing Primary Students for the 2026 Curriculum Shift becomes not just a curriculum goal—but a doorway to a brand-new world. Vega Schools are passionate about ensuring that our learners don’t just use technology—they understand it, question it, and shape it.
A Magical Morning at Vega Schools
One morning, as sunlight streamed through the classroom windows, the learners burst in with their usual sparkle.
“Teacher, why does YouTube know what I want to watch?”
“Who teaches Alexa all the answers?”
“Does my tab think like me?”
Their tiny voices carried big curiosity. And that’s when I realized—our learners are already walking hand-in-hand with Artificial Intelligence.
This is why AI as a New Basic Literacy: Preparing Primary Students for the 2026 Curriculum Shift is essential. By 2026, AI will not be an extra chapter; it will be a core life skill—just like reading stories or solving sums.
How AI Comes Alive in Primary Classes
At Vega Schools, learning feels less like memorizing and more like discovering. Vega Schools are creating environments where AI feels familiar, friendly, and fun.
Our young learners explore AI through:
- Games where they guess how machines make decisions
- Spotting everyday AI—like cameras that unlock phones or chatbots that answer questions
- Simple tools that turn their ideas into AI-generated drawings and stories
- Discussions about safe online behaviour and using technology kindly
- Activities showing how AI helps in hospitals, shops, art studios, and even kitchens
These playful experiences plant the seeds of technological confidence early on.
Teachers as Guides Into Tomorrow
As an ICT teacher at Vega Schools, I feel more like a storyteller standing at the edge of the future. The journey toward AI as a New Basic Literacy: Preparing Primary Students for the 2026 Curriculum Shift challenges us to think differently.
We teach Learners:
1. AI is a tool—you are the thinker.
2. Creativity is your superpower.
3. Safety and kindness matter online.
Every lesson becomes a bridge between today’s curiosity and tomorrow’s innovation.
