A comment before I read through fully but... I'm pretty skeptical about that chart.
What was the criteria, who made the numbers? Experts in each field?
Just using my own background experience, I find it highly unlikely that Education could be effectively automated any more than parenting could. I'd argue education is one of the more robust careers against automation.
Any teacher will know that being a teacher involves a ton of human connection, relationship building, social adaptation, things that are inherently impossible to automate. In many cases a teacher spends more time with students than their own parents, and within that contains a huge responsibility in partially raising those kids with the right values, virtues and strengths (While also not impeding on the diverse range of parents' views).
I mean, you could technically get all the paperwork BS organized and out the way perhaps a bit more efficiently, but I don't consider that element 'education'.
'Library' though, sure. We had an entirely automated one in a previous school like 8 years ago. Nothing new there.
Education is driven by administration, not just classroom teaching. How many support staff are affected in the education system? This is generative AI, not just the practical classroom teaching. It is largely codified work.
So, while I agree that it might be a while before AI takes teaching jobs, there is a massive amount of "back office" work involved.
Yeah, I touched on that, but I just don't think that should count as 'education' but under 'admin', 'management', or the big 'administration' section at the top. If you lump the finance office into 'education' because they largely work with schools, then the creator of the chart needs to make clear that there is severe overlap between each category.
I mean, 'office and admin support' doesn't exist for the sake of existing. It's inherently attached to everything on that list. I dunno, just stinks of somebody arbitrarily making a chart based on what they think is probably about right.
I get the bigger point though anyway
I think it says that represented in that chart are 900 jobs. Not sure if there is more granularity in the read more report on the linked site
