AI mentor now available in informatics lessons in over 5,000 Ukrainian schools
Diia.Education has launched an AI assistant for pupils in grades 1–11 that explains material and suggests the next step, but does not solve tasks for the child.
What the AI mentor is
As part of the IT Studios module on the Diia.Education platform, an interactive AI mentor has been launched for pupils in grades 1–11. It is built directly into the learning materials and helps children learn programming and digital literacy.
The key difference is that the mentor does not give ready-made answers. It works as a personal tutor: it explains unfamiliar terms and suggests the logic of a solution or the needed commands, for example when students program games in grades 7–9. The child still completes the task.
How it works in class
Pupils can ask questions in their own words or use ready-made hints. The mentor answers only on the topic of the current lesson and does not get distracted by unrelated questions.
While a teacher works with one pupil, others can quickly get a hint from the mentor and keep working.
How to join
To use the AI mentor, schools and parents need to register on the platform at it-osvita.diia.gov.ua. The steps are:
The teacher creates an online class in their account and receives a unique code.
Parents register an account, add their child, and enter the class code from the teacher.
The pupil logs in with their own details and gets access to lessons with the AI mentor.
What else is on the platform
The IT Studios platform includes 355 interactive lessons. Instead of dry theory, children create 3D models, draw with code, and learn digital safety.
Why it matters
According to a 2025 study, 70% of teenagers in Ukraine already actively use AI, and for 44% it has become a study helper. Also, more than 75% of schoolchildren get their own internet-connected device by age 8 or earlier, and they start using social networks at ages 6–10.
Ruslana Korenchuk, CEO of Diia.Education, explains the goal: to make AI help children develop their thinking rather than doing the work for them.
