Read the following passage then answer the questions :

If you think of the jobs robots could never do, you would probably put doctors
and teachers at the top of the list. It's easy to imagine robot cleaners and
factory workers, but some jobs need human connection and creativity. But
are we underestimating what robots can do? In some cases, they already
perform better than doctors at diagnosing illness. Also, some patients might feel more comfortable
sharing personal information with a machine than a person. Could there be a place for robots in
education after all?
British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the
classroom: 2027. He predicts robots will do the main job of transferring information and teachers will be
like assistants. Intelligent robots will read students' faces, movements and maybe even brain signals.
Then they will adapt the information to each student. It's not a popular opinion and it's unlikely robots will
ever have empathy and the ability to really connect with humans like another human can.
Perhaps the question is not 'Will robots replace teachers?' but 'How can robots help teachers?' Of ce
workers can use software to do things like organise and answer emails, arrange meetings and update
calendars. Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work, including more than 11 hours a week
marking homework. If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports,
teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best.
