Technology can help to tackle some of the main challenges faced by the education sector, including:
- reducing teacher workload
- increasing efficiency
- improving accessibility and inclusion
- supporting excellent teaching
- improving student outcomes
The education sector often faces barriers which prevent teachers, lecturers and education leaders benefiting from technology. The UK Education Technology (EdTech) industry also faces barriers to start-up and growth.
We’ve developed this strategy to support all stages of the education sector and the UK EdTech industry to:
- overcome these barriers
- work together to drive innovation, in line with the needs of the education system
