AI-Driven Education in the Caribbean: Pathways for Leapfrogging Traditional Academic Systems
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force capable of reshaping educational systems globally. For developing countries in the Caribbean, including Guyana, AI offers a unique opportunity to overcome long-standing structural constraints and leapfrog traditional education models. This article examines the prospects and challenges of AI-driven education across the region by analysing global frameworks, regional contextual variables, applications of AI in low-resource settings, and governance considerations. Drawing on authoritative guidance from UNESCO, the World Bank, and the Inter-American Development Bank, along with contemporary empirical literature, the article proposes a strategic roadmap for responsible AI adoption in Caribbean education systems. The findings suggest that while AI can enhance accessibility, instructional quality, and system management, successful integration requires ethical governance, teacher empowerment, infrastructural investment, and sustained policy coordination.
