Evidence snapshot for Macau
Macau has implemented a multifaceted AI-education strategy spanning workforce and school-level initiatives. The government mandated AI content in primary and secondary curricula with fixed annual teaching hours (17h20m in primary, 19h20m in Years 7–9, and 18h40m in Years 10–12) and committed MOP 15 million to smart classrooms for 2025–2026, though independent reporting documents real resource gaps including teacher shortages. For middle-aged and elderly residents, Macau's Labour Affairs Bureau ran over 40 AI-literacy training sessions in 2025 reaching over 800 participants through its Digital Skills Upgrading and Certification Programme. Future plans include funding AI experimental classrooms from 2026/27 and developing a smart teaching platform with an AI question bank and automated marking, though classroom outcomes remain unmeasured at this stage.
