MWITA-EL-2026-006 · Evidence B · P1
A 2025 mixed-methods deployment study of Shiksha Copilot with 1,043 Karnataka government-school teachers and 23 curators found that most teachers completed mandated lesson-plan documentation in under 15 minutes versus a reported prior 45–90 minutes; Kannada plans required extensive linguistic editing despite higher reliability in English.
What this does not establish
Reduced documentation time is not evidence of better student learning or autonomous lesson-plan quality.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
Observational deployment confined to Karnataka; prior time and stress measures include self-report and institutional mandates shaped use.
What would change the reading
Seek randomized comparisons, classroom observation and student outcomes by language.
