Education & Learning Weekly AI News
December 22 - December 30, 2025This weekly update shows that agentic AI is changing how students learn around the world. Agentic AI means AI that can work on its own, making decisions and completing tasks without waiting for a person to tell it what to do each time. Late in December 2025, two major technology companies made big announcements about bringing AI agents into schools. Google added Gemini 3 directly into Google Classroom, which is a tool millions of students use every day. OpenAI also launched ChatGPT for Teachers to help teachers use AI in their classes. These moves show that AI agents are now becoming a normal part of school life, not just something new being tested.
Research shows that students are already using AI heavily in their schoolwork. About 95% of students are using AI every week, though many schools have not created clear rules about this yet. Teachers are still learning how to work with these powerful tools. The interesting part is that 18,500 organizations around the world have started changing how they work with AI agents to become what experts call Agentic Enterprises. This means businesses and schools are organizing themselves to use AI agents that can do real work, not just answer questions.
Experts predict that agentic AI will reach everyday consumers in 2026, meaning families will have access to AI agents that can help with homework, organize schedules, and do many other tasks. Right now, the AI world is moving past simple chatbots that just talk to you. The new focus is on AI agents working together in teams to solve harder problems. For students and teachers, this means the tools available in classrooms will keep getting smarter and more helpful, but schools need to figure out how to teach students to use them wisely.
