Children who grow up in disadvantaged households may receive fewer social benefits from their intelligence in adulthood than those raised in more advantaged environments, according to new research from the University of Bath.

A new study published in ECNU Review of Education explores how AI-enhanced project-based learning can bridge educational gaps in resource-limited STEM classrooms across Africa. Researchers trained educators from five nations using low-cost tools like smartphone coding and speech-to-text-to-image AI. The findings demonstrate that these accessible technologies empower teachers to transition from rote instruction to competency-based learning, fostering inclusive innovation and providing a scalable model for sustainable education reform in developing contexts.
