Will 'Teachers' Disappear? The 'Ultimate Personalized Tutoring' Enabled by AI Agents. The Future of Education and What We Should Learn.

Check out the previous post here!

🏫 The Limits of Standardized Classes and the Potential of AI Agents

First, let's think about the problems current school education faces. One teacher teaching 30 or 40 students all at once. When you think about it, that's an impossible game, isn't it?

Kids who can't keep up, kids who are bored

There are kids who can't keep up because the class moves too fast. Conversely, there are kids who are bored because they already know the material. Teachers are human, too. It's nearly impossible to grasp every single student's stumbling blocks in real-time.

This has been the limit of education until now. But AI agents might just break down this wall.

The Ultimate Personalized Tutoring: Your Own Private Tutor

AI agents are different from simple video materials or drill apps. They are your personal private tutors.

They know everything: where you made a mistake, what you're good at and what you struggle with, and even how many hours you slept last night. Then, they provide the optimal problems, offer encouragement, and walk alongside you based on your level of understanding and how you're feeling that day. With this, there's no need to compare yourself to others, and you can grow steadily at your own pace.

🎓 The Khan Academy Shock: An AI That Doesn't Give Answers

Let's look at a concrete example. There is an AI tool called Khanmigo, developed by the global educational non-profit Khan Academy. It is truly amazing.

Teaching How to Think, Not Just Giving Answers

If you ask a regular AI to give you the answer, it will provide it immediately. But Khanmigo is different. It uses the Socratic method, guiding students to reach the answer themselves by asking them questions.

How did you think about this part? Close! Try reviewing this section one more time. Wonderful! Now, what would happen if the conditions changed like this?

It's just like a skilled teacher gently talking to a student right beside them. Because of this, students can train their thinking skills themselves, rather than just cramming in knowledge.

Support for Truancy and Learning Disabilities

For children who find it difficult to go to school or those with learning disabilities in specific areas, AI agents can be a great salvation. AI doesn't get angry, and it never makes a sour face no matter how many times you ask the same thing. By creating an environment where high-quality education can be received while at home, we might realize an education that leaves no one behind.

👩‍🏫 How Will the Teacher's Role Change? The Importance of the Human Touch

So, will human teachers really become unnecessary? My answer is No. Rather, I think the role of the teacher will evolve to become even more important and more human.

From Teacher to Coach

Much of the role of a teacher as a provider of knowledge will likely be taken over by AI agents. Instead, teachers will shift into roles as coaches and mentors who manage student motivation, assist with goal setting, and provide emotional support.

AI will analyze student learning data and report to the teacher, 'Student A seems to have lost confidence in math recently.' The teacher will see this, reach out to Student A, listen to their concerns, and offer encouragement. Such teamwork is bound to become the standard in future classrooms.

Emotional Education That AI Cannot Provide

Morality, ethics, cooperation with others, and the wonder of having dreams—this kind of emotional education can only be provided by human teachers. After all, while AI can perform calculations, it cannot empathize with pain.

Teachers will be freed from administrative tasks and lesson preparation time, allowing them to spend more time looking into students' eyes and connecting with them on a personal level. Isn't that what education should truly be?

🚀 What We Should Learn Now (Reskilling)

Now, let's talk about us adults. In an era where AI teaches us knowledge, what should we be learning? Memorization? Calculation? No, we will need different skills.

The Ability to Face Questions Without Clear Answers

AI is incredibly strong at problems that have a correct answer. However, life and business are full of problems that have no single right answer.

The ability to define problems—deciding what needs to be solved. Critical thinking to determine if the answers provided by AI are truly correct. And the creativity to collaborate with people of different values to create something new.

These are privileges unique to humans that AI cannot replace. Future learning needs to shift from hoarding knowledge to refining how we use that knowledge and how we think.

Literacy for Mastering AI

And of course, the skill to master the most powerful tool—the AI agent—is essential. How to give instructions (prompt engineering). How to manage AI risks.

Learning these things is the modern equivalent of reading, writing, and arithmetic.

How was that? Were you able to get a better picture of the future of AI and education?

Changes that once seemed scary can turn into exciting hope once you understand what they are. For children and for us adults, AI can become the best partner to accelerate learning.

I want to know more! I want to see more concrete examples of use in educational settings! I want specific guidelines on how I should reskill!

For you, there is the perfect book.

A Practical Guide to the AI Agent Revolution: The Full Picture of Agentic AI Coming After LLMs — A Map of the Future of Artificial Intelligence, Covering Everything from Latest Tech Trends to Business Applications and Organizational Reform

This book is not just a technical manual. It is a guidebook to the future for educators, parents, and everyone who wants to keep learning.

The 'Future of Education' you can learn in this book:

• Detailed Case Studies of Khan Academy Beyond just Khanmigo, which I introduced today, this book explains how AI is changing education around the world based on the latest reports.

• Complete Understanding of How AI Agents Work It unravels the technical mechanisms behind how AI can teach according to a student's needs—such as memory and planning—in an easy-to-understand way without jargon.

• Skill sets needed for the coming era It presents a concrete roadmap for what we should teach children in the AI era, and how adults should relearn, to become AI strategists rather than AI operators.

• AI risks and ethics It also thoroughly covers risk management that parents and teachers should know, such as issues of information leakage and bias when using AI in educational settings.

The future of education has already begun. I hope that by reading this book, you and your loved ones will gain the new wings that are AI.

To learn is to change. And to change is to live.
