The challenge of engagement in traditional classrooms
46% of middle and high school students admit they feel disconnected from school — a striking statistic that shows the growing problem with traditional education models.
It’s no secret that the “one-size-fits-all” approach doesn’t cater to everyone’s needs. It leaves many students bored or unmotivated, which ultimately holds back their learning potential.
This is where Artificial Intelligence (AI) comes in. Using AI in classrooms has the potential to improve the learning experience by creating adaptive lessons, offering immediate feedback, and even gamifying learning to make it fun and interactive.
These advancements help make education more accessible and engaging for everyone involved. Below, I discuss two really amazing, tried-and-tested ways AI can level up the common education systems.
We have been working in the education industry for 2 decades. Have a look at what we do in Edtech.
AI personalized learning to the rescue
When students are disengaged, their performance takes a hit. Dropout rates climb, and underachievement becomes a common trend. But the rise of AI personalized learning tools is changing things – for the better.
With platforms like Khanmigo, which tailors the learning experience to each student’s specific needs, we’re beginning to see how technology can re-energize the classroom.
Think about it: rather than leaving students stuck on topics they don’t understand or bored with material that’s too easy, AI-driven tools adapt in real-time. Students receive instant feedback, and lessons are customized to their pace. As a result, engagement spikes.
But Khanmigo isn’t the only game in town. DreamBox Learning takes this idea further in the world of math. DreamBox adjusts its lessons based on how students interact with the material, giving each learner the right balance of challenge and support. The results? A.J. Swentosky, an Executive Director of Educational Services of a school in Teton County, says, “Students that completed 100 lessons of Dreambox saw an average of 12.43 percentile growth point.”
And there’s more. Carnegie Learning develops innovative, evidence-based educational solutions, including math, literacy, and language programs with the integration of science and AI. An independent “Gold Standard” study found that the Carnegie Learning blended approach nearly doubled standardized test performance growth, moving students from the 50th to the 58th percentile—twice the gains of a typical year’s learning.

While AI tools are consistently improving personalized learning, AI is also changing the way assessments are conducted.
AI assessments grading
Grading, a traditionally time-consuming and inconsistent process, is now being reimagined through AI-powered solutions.
Did you know that, on average, teachers spend only 49% of their time interacting with students, while the remaining 51% is spent on lesson planning, administrative work, and other tasks? More specifically, 13% of their work time goes into feedback and grading only!
This can be incredibly frustrating for both teachers and students, especially when feedback is delayed or when student learning is compromised.
But with AI assessment tools, like Grammarly or Turnitin, this burden is lightened significantly. Some tools can assess essays in under five minutes, providing real-time, personalized feedback that empowers students to improve immediately. Among educators who have already utilized AI in their processes, 41% use it for automated grading and feedback systems due to its effectiveness.
And AI doesn’t just grade faster—it grades more fairly. Unlike human evaluators, who may have different opinions on what makes an essay good, AI applies consistent criteria across all submissions. This helps eliminate bias and makes grading more equitable.

AI’s bigger impact on education
While personalized learning and AI assessments are fantastic, they’re just scratching the surface of what AI can do for education. AI-driven predictive analytics can identify students who might be at risk of dropping out and suggest timely interventions. Smart content curation tools can recommend additional resources to enhance understanding. And AI chatbots can provide 24/7 support to answer students’ questions, giving them access to help even when teachers aren’t available.
These additional AI in classrooms capabilities can create a more immersive and engaging learning experience, empowering both students and educators alike.
Potential and challenges of AI in Education
The usage of AI in classrooms can actually revolutionize education by analyzing vast amounts of data and providing personalized learning experiences. It can identify students at risk of falling behind and offer tailored interventions to help them succeed.
However, with this great potential comes significant challenges. Privacy is a major concern, as AI systems require access to sensitive student data. It’s crucial that educational institutions prioritize data security and protect student privacy.
Bias in AI algorithms is another critical challenge. If the data used to train AI systems contains biases, these biases can affect educational outcomes. For example, an AI tool used for grading might favor certain writing styles, disadvantaging students from diverse backgrounds.
To tackle bias in AI, companies are focusing on responsible deployment by using technical tools and operational practices to minimize bias. They’re also building diverse teams to improve oversight and drive innovation while investing in ongoing research to make AI systems fairer.
Genetech Solutions leads with innovation in the Education industry
At Genetech Solutions, we’ve been working on real-world solutions that tackle these challenges head-on. Our Team Taleem project, in collaboration with TeeSquare, is a perfect example. We designed an interactive platform for literacy and education in under-served areas, especially targeting Pakistan’s 40% illiteracy rate.
In the Team Taleem project, we’ve made learning fun and accessible. Features like gamified modules, real-time tracking, and personalized content make it easier for students to stay engaged. This wasn’t just a tech upgrade for classrooms — it was a whole new way to reach learners who’ve been left behind.
While tools like Khanmingo and DreamBox are fantastic, they often come with hefty price tags. Our expertise lies in building affordable, customized solutions for educational institutions, helping them fully leverage AI without breaking the bank.
We understand education — and we know how to use technology to make a real difference. Whether it’s creating personalized learning tools, AI-driven assessments, or fully interactive platforms like Team Taleem, we’re here to help you bring meaningful, scalable change to your education systems.
