Do teachers and students need an AI that knows our syllabus?

Generic tools like ChatGPT were not built for TIE, NECTA, or Tanzanian classrooms. This survey asks whether you need an AI that is syllabus-aware, understands how education is organised here, and can follow national roadmaps such as Dira ya Taifa ya Elimu 2050.

Takes about 6 minutes. Your answers guide what we build.
