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
