Abstract

Against the backdrop of the global digital divide in education, promoting the balanced implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) education in basic education has become a crucial issue for promoting educational equity worldwide. This paper takes primary and secondary schools in Chinese counties as its research subject. Through survey research, it systematically reviews the phased achievements made in AI education, analyzes the common challenges faced in resource supply, teacher training, and teaching implementation, and proposes targeted solutions. The study finds that while AI courses have been initially popularized in Chinese county-level primary and secondary schools, problems such as uneven resource allocation, insufficient teacher resources, and the tendesncy for teaching to become merely a formality still exist. These are common dilemmas faced by resource-poor regions globally. Based on local Chinese practices, transferable experiences can be extracted, providing a reference for rural and remote areas in other developing countries, and contributing a Chinese solution to the equitable development of AI education in basic education worldwide.
