We’re thrilled to have contributed to BESA’s latest report!
In September 2020, the EdTech APPG (All Party Parliamentary Group) was formed by a group of MPs and Peers with the support of BESA (the British Educational Suppliers Association), as a forum for parliamentarians and policy-makers, the education sector and service suppliers.
The group believes that edtech can:
- enhance learning
- ease teacher workloads
- improve back-of-house processes
- augment support for students with specific learning needs
- facilitate parental engagement
- open up access to lifelong learning
- support international development.
Edtech use in schools had been growing dramatically for some time, but the pandemic brought a step-change in deployment, meaning things are unlikely to return to how they were before. Therefore, considering what the ‘Lessons from Lockdown’ are will help schools see how well various initiatives have worked and will inform their future edtech decisions.
