How AI Is Transforming Teaching: Inside the Akkodis AI Platform for Education

Teaching in Australia presents unique challenges—from remote classrooms to multilingual communities and growing administrative demands. The Akkodis AI Platform for Education is designed to give teachers what they need most: more time. Using secure, agentic AI workflows, the platform streamlines lesson planning, enhances differentiated learning, and empowers educators to focus on student success—demonstrating Akkodis’ commitment to ethical, responsible, and human-centered AI for Good.

Why Teachers Need AI Support More Than Ever

Across Australia, teachers face increasing pressures—from escalating administrative duties to the demand for inclusive, differentiated learning. Limited time and resources often mean educators spend hours crafting lesson plans instead of focusing on students.

AI is giving teachers something priceless: more time.

Akkodis developed its AI Platform for Education to address this urgency. Built with a strong ethical foundation, the platform exemplifies AI for Good, using technology to reduce cognitive strain, enhance teaching quality, and ensure equitable access to learning support in metropolitan and remote classrooms alike.

How Agentic AI Streamlines Lesson Planning

At the core of the platform is an advanced, agent-based architecture. Each AI agent has a defined purpose—gathering data, generating content, or constructing differentiated materials—to assist teachers with precision and speed.

“The Akkodis AI Platform for Education is a network of interacting agents designed to support teachers by managing the most time-consuming aspects of lesson planning.”

These semi-autonomous agents collaborate through a secure, on-premises framework that protects student data while maximizing efficiency. From visual learning materials to curriculum-aligned activities, each output supports teachers in delivering meaningful, targeted instruction.

Supporting Differentiated Learning with Ethical AI

Every classroom includes diverse learners—students with varying abilities, languages, and learning needs. The platform’s specialized differentiation agent creates customized lesson versions for neurodiverse learners, students with special education requirements, and multilingual classrooms.

Our goal is to ease pressure on teachers so they can spend more time engaging with students, not juggling paperwork.

This approach aligns with Akkodis’ principles of ethical AI, ensuring the technology amplifies human capability rather than replaces it. The platform avoids bias by grounding its outputs in transparent data sources and ongoing educator feedback loops.

The Broader Impact: AI for Good in Education

By reducing administrative load, the platform allows teachers to reinvest their energy where it matters most—student engagement, mentorship, and wellbeing. Research from the Grattan Institute shows generative AI could save teachers up to three hours per week, supporting better learning outcomes and healthier workplaces.

AI for Good is not just a campaign—it is our commitment to using technology in ways that uplift communities and enable better futures.

With UNESCO estimating a global need for 44 million additional teachers by 2030, AI-enabled tools like the Akkodis platform offer a sustainable pathway to support educators, especially in remote regions where resources are limited.

At the start of the 2025 school year, eight schools—representing nearly 100 users—were already connected to the platform, demonstrating strong momentum for industry-leading, ethical AI adoption in education.
