An AI Literacy Framework for Primary and Secondary Education

This is the May 2025 review draft of Empowering Learners for the Age of AI: An AI Literacy Framework for Primary and Secondary Education, developed jointly by the European Commission and OECD with support from Code.org and international experts. The framework outlines essential AI literacy knowledge, skills, and attitudes for learners, structured into four domains—Engaging with AI, Creating with AI, Managing AI, and Designing AI. It includes competences, learning scenarios for primary and secondary education, and guidance for educators, aiming to prepare young people to use AI ethically, critically, and creatively. The draft invites feedback from stakeholders before the final version’s release in 2026.
