About the event
As technology evolves, so too do the challenges and opportunities for education and our young people. Together, we can tackle the digital divide, enhance accessibility and inclusion, innovate, and forge the future of learning and assessment.
Why you're invited
Inspired by the findings from our Pearson School Report 2023, we’re inviting educators, charities, industry leaders and experts to discuss how we break down barriers and embrace innovation when it comes to digital in schools.
Students' futures
91% of students agree that technology plays a big role in their lives now and will continue to do so.
Positives
1 in 3 teachers say that in the last two years, new technologies have aided student engagement and improved accessibility for learners with SEND.
Future of assessment
4 in 7 secondary teachers expect to see an increased use of onscreen high-stakes assessment in the next decade.
Digital divide
Just over half of schools have access to reliable Wi-Fi across their whole school.
Let’s unite our collective knowledge, passion and experience to help make embracing technology and reaping its rewards equitably a reality.
Agenda
From accessibility, inclusion and the digital divide, to the future of assessment innovations such as AI, there’ll be much to discuss. But two key questions will fuel our conversations:
- how we can further support schools in the now as students and educators pioneer change
- what are the next steps we can take collectively to make tech-enabled education reality for all?
Social sharing
Together, we can tackle the digital divide, enhance accessibility and inclusion, innovate, and forge the future of learning and assessment. Harness the power of social media and share your ideas and innovations with friends, family, colleagues and us at:
