Hong Kong's primary schools will begin teaching a new subject called Information and Innovation Technology (IIT) from September 2028, with a focus on artificial intelligence (AI) and digital literacy. Students as young as seven will learn to interact with AI systems through simple prompts and commands. The curriculum framework, announced by the Education Bureau, aims to foster students' curiosity, creativity, and digital skills.
Each class will include a 35-minute IIT lesson, with a total of 168 lessons spread across six years. The subject will be introduced gradually, starting with Primary One and Primary Four in the 2028-29 school year. Key strands of the curriculum include information technology concepts, computational thinking, AI, and technology's societal impact.
Students will learn about AI's applications, basic AI concepts, and prompt writing, while also exploring connections between AI, computing power, and data. The new subject will not be part of the Primary Five and Six internal assessments.
