The DFC to launch Education Data Reality

The Digital Futures Commission (DFC) is launching its ‘Education data reality: The challenges for schools in managing children’s education data’ report on Wednesday, 29 June, 9-10 am BST. In this Breakfast Briefing to launch the report, Sarah Turner, the lead author, will reveal the answers to our overarching question: what are the problems to be addressed in realising the benefits of education data in children’s best interests, given the current EdTech landscape in schools? These answers reflect schools’ perspectives on Education technology (EdTech) procurement, usage, data protection and the steps required to enable schools to harness the potential of the technology and the resulting data in children’s best interests.
