EduFix: AI-Powered Governance for Reviving Public Education and Beyond

Around the world, public education systems are under pressure and facing underfunding, infrastructure decay, and deepening inequities in access and quality. Yet in this challenge lies an opportunity for transformation. At GovAI Summit, the session EduFix: AI-Powered Governance for Reviving Public Education and Beyond introduces an inspiring case study from Telangana, India, that demonstrates how AI in government can be harnessed not only to solve administrative problems but to rebuild public trust and social impact.

The story begins with the crisis in Telangana’s public schools, where closures due to infrastructure and funding challenges threatened to leave thousands of students without access to basic education. Dr. Hemachandran, Director of the AI Research Centre at Woxsen University, and his team developed EduFix, an AI-driven governance platform designed to bring transparency, accountability, and efficiency to school management. The platform uses artificial intelligence to streamline infrastructure reporting, track budget utilization, and optimize resource allocation, enabling faster, data-informed decision-making for education administrators.

EduFix’s impact extends beyond analytics. By integrating community engagement into the platform, it empowers parents, teachers, and local leaders to report issues in real time from broken facilities to supply shortages, creating a feedback loop that strengthens trust in the education system. As explored in Trust and Transparency in Government AI Systems, public participation is essential to any responsible AI initiative, particularly when it affects the lives of children and communities. EduFix exemplifies how transparency and technology can work hand-in-hand to restore confidence in public institutions.

This model also resonates with the priorities outlined in the 2025 American AI Action Plan, which calls for secure, equitable, and socially beneficial applications of artificial intelligence across sectors. As Dr. Hemachandran will discuss, the success of EduFix offers valuable lessons for U.S. policymakers and educators looking to modernize public-sector AI governance. The platform’s principles, like data integrity, ethical oversight, and measurable impact, align closely with the frameworks described in previous blog posts. Both demonstrate that the key to effective governance lies not in limiting innovation, but in guiding it responsibly.

Scaling models like EduFix to address U.S. challenges could transform how agencies manage everything from education and housing to environmental monitoring. As highlighted in From White House to Workflows: Making Policy Practical, the next frontier for AI in the public sector is operationalizing policy like turning strategic mandates into systems that deliver measurable results for citizens. EduFix shows how that’s possible: by embedding AI into everyday governance processes, governments can create more responsive, transparent, and equitable institutions.

Perhaps most importantly, EduFix reinforces that technology alone cannot drive reform. As with the City of Phoenix’s approach to AI training and workforce empowerment detailed in Growing into AI at the Nation’s 5th Largest City, the platform’s success depends on investing in people and the administrators, educators, and citizens who sustain change over time.

EduFix: AI-Powered Governance for Reviving Public Education and Beyond is more than a case study. It’s a blueprint for how artificial intelligence, when guided by sound governance and community partnership, can deliver tangible social outcomes. Whether applied to education reform or other civic priorities, the lesson is clear: the future of AI in government depends on aligning technology, policy, and trust to create systems that work for everyone.

Join us at GovAI Summit to explore how innovations like EduFix are redefining what’s possible for AI in education, public-sector transformation, and responsible AI policy. Learn directly from leaders shaping the frameworks that ensure artificial intelligence delivers not just efficiency, but equity.
