WORKING IT OUT 

The state of AI in education 2026

AI is now part of everyday life for most teachers, but has it delivered on its biggest promise? Based on an exclusive survey of more than 1,000 UK teachers, Working it out, in partnership with Lenovo, explores how AI is being used in schools, where it’s making a difference, and where challenges remain. From workload and policy to assessment and classroom practice, the report provides fresh evidence to help education leaders make informed decisions about AI’s role in teaching and learning.

Why this report matters

Three years after AI entered the mainstream, the conversation is shifting. Whether you're a school leader shaping strategy, a policymaker developing guidance, or an EdTech provider building the next generation of AI tools, this report provides the evidence, insight and practical context needed to understand where education stands today and where it goes next.

Inside the report:

  • 80% of UK teachers now use AI in their work, with weekly usage doubling in the last year.
  • Only 35% of AI users say they're working fewer hours, despite over half saying AI has eased their workload.
  • 76% of teachers using AI rely on it to create lesson plans, worksheets and learning resources.
  • Teacher confidence is cooling, with only 47% expecting to increase their AI use next year, down from 68% a year ago.
  • 41% of teachers have received no AI training from their school.
