Background
AI as a lever to transform schools
Artificial intelligence is reshaping every sector of society, and education is no exception. The rapid rise of generative AI, conversational agents and intelligent tutoring systems is transforming teaching practices, learning modalities and education governance.
The Connecter IA project is part of an ongoing effort of reflection, experimentation and co-construction around educational uses of artificial intelligence in Madagascar and francophone countries of the Global South, inspired by collaborative approaches such as IFADEM.
Facing the challenges of the Malagasy education system — limited resources, unequal access, a persistent digital divide — AI can become a lever for pedagogical innovation, provided it is designed ethically, inclusively and with context in mind.
