Keynote
This year's Schools White Paper sets out the ambition for our schools to use highly effective edtech tools in a widespread and safe way. This will be supported by standards for AI tools, a digitally enabled curriculum, and a data spine to ensure that trusts have access to and control of their data. Four months on, Kath shares the next steps in the Department for Education's thinking and sets out what we can do as trust leaders to support these aims.
