AI revolution in the classroom: hundreds of Hungarian teachers are already using AI in their daily work

AI is no longer just a secret weapon for students – it is becoming an essential part of the modern teacher’s toolkit
 
Lesson planning in minutes, personalised exercises at the click of a button, presentations powered by artificial intelligence – this is not the future, but the present for hundreds of Hungarian teachers. The first AI training course launched by Yettel’s digital education programme ProSuli for teachers generated tremendous interest with nearly 500 teachers gaining practical knowledge and inspiration on how AI can revolutionise teaching.

The AI training organised under the ProSuli programme was held online and offered free of charge to registered teachers. Participants gained insight into how generative AI works, learned how to write effective prompts and discovered ways to integrate AI into the teaching process – from inspiration to student feedback.

In addition to practical knowledge, the training also provided participants with a fresh perspective and renewed motivation

Almost half of the course participants in the course completed a feedbacks survey to share how they had applied their newly acquired skills. The response was overwhelmingly positive: 95% of respondents not only experimented with AI, but had already incorporated it into their daily teaching. Whether it’s creating classroom tasks, reducing administrative workload or using subject-specific AI tools, participants reported that the training gave them a new momentum and inspiration.

The most popular topics included the subject-specific applications of AI, presentation skills and techniques for effective questioning.

“We are seeing artificial intelligence  rapidly spreading among students – both in their free time and as a learning aid. If students are taking advantage of these tools, teachers should not be left behind. AI is a powerful assistant that complements rather than replaces teachers’ expertise. Teacher training has been a cornerstone of the ProSuli programme from the very beginning. We’ve always aimed to respond to current needs, and AI is no exception. Even a basic understanding, combined with the right mindset, can make AI a useful part of everyday teaching – from developing exercises and lesson plans  to preparing visual aids and presentations. It was truly inspiring to see hundreds of teachers register for the first AI training and immediately begin applying what they have learned, Many also expressed a strong desire to continue their learning journey,” said Balázs Koren, head of the training and ProSuli.

Training continues

One of ProSuli’s key goals is to equip teachers with up-to-date knowledge across as many areas of digital education as possible. In light of the positive feedback, the AI training series will continue. In fact, 95% of those who completed the survey expressed interest in attending the second course. Next time, the training will focus on topics suggested by the teachers including deeper exploration of AI’s potential and its application in specific subject areas.
