PersonaPath is a new benchmark for knowledge‑centric personalized learning path planning, pairing 2,000 learner personas with a hierarchical knowledge graph of 347 textbooks, 1,751 units, and 4,092 concepts across 77 subjects. The study evaluates large language models on this benchmark, finding that even the best model achieves only a 29.5% final pass rate in Basic Education and fails to exceed 44.7% in tailoring paths to individual learners, highlighting a significant adaptivity gap. This work underscores the challenge of moving beyond exercise‑centric recommendation toward goal‑oriented, curriculum‑scale guidance.
