Fairness in AI
Principles, Practice & Policy for Educational Institutions
The only programme designed specifically for the five stakeholder groups who share accountability for educational AI governance. Built on the Eight-Domain AI Fairness Framework — equipping school leaders, teachers, IT teams, and policymakers with governance tools they can use immediately.
Course Modules
10 structured modules progressing from foundational awareness to capstone governance planning. Core Track (Modules 1-5 + Capstone) or Full Track (all modules).
Why AI fairness is a leadership obligation, governance priority, and civil rights responsibility for every school.
Topics Covered
- AI fairness as a civil rights obligation in education
- 6 documented AI harms in schools (predictive discipline bias, AI grading bias, plagiarism detection bias, adaptive learning underperformance, culturally exclusionary AI content, grade prediction bias)
- Checkbox compliance vs. compliance as practice
- Institutional accountability: schools bear accountability, not vendors
- 8 regulatory frameworks: EU AI Act, GDPR, UK Equality Act, COPPA, FERPA, UAE PDPL, Saudi PDPL, WCAG 2.1 AA
- Evidence principles: Specific, Attributable, Dated, Proportionate, Accessible, Continuous
