The UNESCO AI Competency Framework for Students offers a global educational roadmap to equip learners with 12 essential AI competencies across four domains—human‑centered mindset, ethics of AI, AI techniques & applications, and AI system design—spanning three progression levels: Understand, Apply, and Create. Grounded in a vision of students as responsible co‑creators, the framework emphasizes critical thinking, ethical awareness, sustainable design, and digital citizenship. It aims to guide curriculum developers, policy makers, and educators in integrating AI literacy into school systems to empower young people as informed, creative, and ethically grounded agents in an AI-driven world.
