  This paper presents a comprehensive examination of how multimodal artificial
intelligence (AI) approaches are paving the way towards the realization of
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) in educational contexts. It scrutinizes
the evolution and integration of AI in educational systems, emphasizing the
crucial role of multimodality, which encompasses auditory, visual, kinesthetic,
and linguistic modes of learning. This research delves deeply into the key
facets of AGI, including cognitive frameworks, advanced knowledge
representation, adaptive learning mechanisms, strategic planning, sophisticated
language processing, and the integration of diverse multimodal data sources. It
critically assesses AGI's transformative potential in reshaping educational
paradigms, focusing on enhancing teaching and learning effectiveness, filling
gaps in existing methodologies, and addressing ethical considerations and
responsible usage of AGI in educational settings. The paper also discusses the
implications of multimodal AI's role in education, offering insights into
future directions and challenges in AGI development. This exploration aims to
provide a nuanced understanding of the intersection between AI, multimodality,
and education, setting a foundation for future research and development in AGI.
