DfE is already working to improve the evidence base around EdTech products and services for schools, working with industry and educational experts. Since the committee’s report was published, we have appointed the Chartered College of Teaching (CCT) to develop criteria for evaluating EdTech evidence based on its effectiveness for teaching and learning. Setting standards and piloting their use in assessing products is the first stage in any process of using evidence to evaluate and communicate—via a quality mark—the efficacy of EdTech products. DfE has published a big-tech backed set of AI safety expectations, outlining capabilities and features GenAI systems and tools should aim towards to be considered safe for users in education. DfE does not actively back or mandate individual products, because we believe that it is up to educational establishments to decide what technology they need to meet their requirements in relation to their educational contexts and circumstances.
