The AI Era in Guidance Services: Athena Assistant

The Importance of Digitalisation in Guidance

Guidance teachers spend much of their working day on paperwork, manually compiling mock exam results and routine parent updates. This limits the time available for in-depth, one-to-one psychological and academic consultations with students.

How Does Athena Work?

The **Athena AI Module**, developed within AktEdu, jointly analyses a student's historical: 1. Performance curve across their last 10 mock exams, 2. Weekly goal completion rates, 3. Educational keywords in guidance consultation notes, 4. Frequency of absences and study session attendance

A Human-Centred Approach to AI

Athena is an **analytical assistant** that supports guidance teachers, rather than a decision-maker.

It provides teachers with early warnings and suggestions such as: > *"The student's Geometry net scores have fallen by 35% across their last 3 mock exams. At the same time, the time allocated to Geometry in their weekly plan has decreased by 50%. We recommend reviewing similarity in triangles during the next consultation."*

Security and Ethical Boundaries

Athena uses Anthropic Claude enterprise API infrastructure for academic decision support. Under enterprise data protection commitments, student and exam data are never used to train or fine-tune any publicly available AI model. Data is processed solely for immediate analysis in an institution-isolated workspace, protected by least-privilege access and enterprise security controls.
