The AILit Framework is a bold new effort to bring AI literacy into primary and secondary classrooms across the globe. Launched by the European Commission (EC) and the OECD, and backed by Code.org and top international experts, the initiative aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills they need to navigate a world powered by artificial intelligence.
AILit supports the EU’s Digital Education Action Plan (2021–2027) and will shape part of the PISA 2029 assessment—a global benchmark for education systems. The framework promotes quality, inclusive digital education, with a strong focus on equity, access, and real-world relevance.
Code.org, a U.S. nonprofit championing computer science and AI education for all, particularly for girls and underrepresented students, played a key role in shaping the framework through its TeachAI initiative.
An international team of experts is helping to design the framework and materials, ensuring they’re practical, adaptable, and globally relevant. Their mission? To make AI literacy a foundational skill—as essential as reading or math—for every student, everywhere.
However, your input is needed.
“Emerging literacies like AI cannot be defined by ten people in a conference room. It is only through a global conversation that reflects the diverse voices of students, teachers, researchers, and AI experts from around the world that we can come to a shared vision and understanding,” says Joseph South, Chief Innovation Officer at ISTE+ASCD.
