‘AI Compass’ Launched to Guide Luxembourg Schools on Artificial Intelligence

The Ministry of Education in Luxembourg has introduced a new strategic framework called the “AI Compass”, designed to help schools integrate artificial intelligence responsibly and effectively into education. The initiative aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to understand and navigate an increasingly AI-driven world.

As artificial intelligence becomes an everyday reality, the Education Ministry stresses that children must learn both the benefits and potential risks of the technology. Education Minister Claude Meisch highlighted that while AI can enhance learning, human values and development must remain at the forefront. “Pupils should first master essential human competencies before diving into digital tools,” he said.

Guiding principles for AI in education
The AI Compass provides a structured approach to how AI can support teaching and learning across all levels of education. For primary school students, the goal is to build a basic understanding of algorithms and digital systems through hands-on, screen-free activities. At the secondary level, the focus shifts toward using AI tools effectively and ethically.

Minister Meisch also noted that the existing subject, “Digital Sciences,” already includes AI as a key component and will continue to evolve alongside technological advances.

Dedicated platform for educators
To support the rollout, the Ministry has launched a dedicated website — www.ki-kompass.lu — which serves as a central hub for schools, teachers, and eventually students. Daniela Hau, from the Department for the Coordination of Educational and Technological Research and Innovation (SCRIPT), explained that the site provides:

• Information on the national AI strategy and related surveys,
• Training opportunities for educators,
• Access to AI tools, teaching materials, and ready-to-use classroom resources,
• A space for teachers to exchange ideas and share experiences.

Supporting teachers and students
When used appropriately, AI can help teachers streamline lesson preparation, freeing up more time for direct interaction with students. The AI Compass strategy is set to be refined further in consultation with educational partners between now and January 2026, ensuring that Luxembourg’s schools remain both innovative and human-centred as they embrace the future of learning.
