Robots that offer tailored one-to-one learning will begin to replace teachers in the classroom within the next 10 years, said Sir Anthony Seldon, vice-chancellor at the University of Buckingham. The machines will eventually make teacher-led education redundant, he added. Teachers would transition to monitor the progress of individual pupils, offer non-academic activities and support students' well-being. Meanwhile, the improved efficiency offered by automated teaching will mean that just 30% of school time will be spent in class, said Seldon.
