Digitalisation in education

The interaction between the Flemish policy agendas for Artificial Intelligence and Cyber Security (with 1.66 m euros of public funding to create stimuli for the development of stronger digital competences in secondary education), Agoria’s “School of the Future” project and the related public-private network and the new educational attainment levels for “digital competences and media literacy” which are to be implemented in secondary education from 1 September 2019 onwards, are creating a unique momentum for achieving breakthroughs in the digitalisation of education. IDEA is developing a broad-based vision and action programme for achieving the “digital school” transformation as a framework for the deployment of resources within the AI and CS policy agendas. The emphasis is on the professionalisation of teachers and other education professionals.
