Secondary Education Teachers

← The GenAI exposure gradient

On the International Labour Organization's 2025 global study, the 11 task statements that define Secondary Education Teachers (ISCO-08 2330) score an average of 0.30 on a 0–1 exposure scale — more exposed than about 56% of the 427 placed occupations. Roughly 0% of its tasks fall somewhere on the exposed part of the gradient, and the typical task lands in the Not exposed band.

Exposure is task overlap, not a verdict. A high score means a generative-AI model can do part of the content of these tasks — it says nothing about whether the work is automated, whether anyone uses AI for it today, or whether jobs are lost. The gradient is scored on the international ISCO-08 system; the rest of Singulariki is U.S. O*NET/SOC, bridged below by an approximate, many-to-many crosswalk.

How its tasks split across the gradient

Each of the 11 scored tasks for this occupation, sorted into the six exposure bands — cool (human ground) to hot (almost fully assistable).

The most-exposed task

“Designing and modifying curricula and preparing educational courses of study in accordance with curriculum guidelines;”

Scores 0.47 on the 2025 scale. The task of designing and modifying curricula and preparing educational courses requires a combination of structured content generation, strategy, and an understanding of pedagogy that aligns with educational standards and student needs. Generative AI can substantially assist with the automation of certain repetitive and data-driven components of the task, such as drafting and arranging curricular frameworks or generating educational materials, akin to the task of "Developing methodological materials and textbooks" which received a score of 0.58. However, similar to other educational and strategic planning tasks, such as "Deciding on the methods and ways of implementing the core curriculum" with a score of 0.35, the strategic oversight, adaptability, and nuanced judgment required in curriculum development remain essential roles for human educators. Given the necessity of customizing course content to specific educational settings and goals, the automation potential remains moderate. Additionally, the task shares similarities with "Undertaking actions aimed at improving the scope, content of programs and teaching methods" and "Managing the quality of education and scientific research," both hovering around moderate automation scores, indicating the necessity for human expert involvement. This consideration, in the context of a high-income country like Poland with extensive digital infrastructure, results in an adjusted score of 0.38, reflecting AI's supportive role yet acknowledging the indispensable human insight in educational design.

“Participating in meetings concerning the school's educational or organizational policies;”

Model capability on this task changed by +0.15 in two years — the gradient is not static, it is filling in.

Secondary Education Teachers sit at the 56th percentile of the global GenAI exposure gradient

• Across 427 international occupations scored by the ILO, Secondary Education Teachers rank in the 56th percentile for GenAI task exposure — overlap with what generative AI can attempt, not a projection of displacement. (ILO / Gmyrek et al. (2025) GenAI exposure gradient)
• About 0% of this occupation's tasks fall into an exposed gradient band. (ILO / Gmyrek et al. (2025))
• Mean task exposure fell by 0.03 between the 2023 and 2025 model-capability snapshots. (ILO / Gmyrek et al. (2025), 2023→2025)
• Its most-exposed task: "Designing and modifying curricula and preparing educational courses of study in accordance with curriculum guidelines;". (ILO / Gmyrek et al. (2025))
