In response, governments are introducing key policies like the 2024 National Educational Technology Plan to bridge these gaps and strengthen classroom AI readiness.

BYD's quarterly EV sales grew from 264,647 in Q1 2023 to 416,388 in Q1 2025, surpassing Tesla's 336,681 units in the same period. This trend signifies BYD's increasing dominance, driven by factors like Chinese government subsidies enabling affordable pricing and access to raw materials for production. Europe poses a challenge for Chinese EV makers with tariffs,pose whereas Tesla and other US EV makers pose a threat to local carmakers. Both Tesla and BYD are in competition to enter key markets like India for both production and sales amid national policy battles.
