The Government’s Education Technology (EdTech) strategy identifies five areas of opportunity where technology can be used to bring about a step change in education, and has a delivery target date of 2021.
The Government sets out its aim as follows:
‘We will support and enable the education sector in England to help develop and embed technology in a way that cuts workload, fosters effciencies, removes barriers to education and ultimately drives improvements in educational outcomes. In parallel, we will support the development of a vibrant EdTech business sector in the UK to provide proven, high-quality products that meet the needs of educators and foster a pipeline of fresh ideas.’
and identifies the following areas of opportunity:
administration processes –  reducing the burden of ‘non-teaching’ tasks.
assessment processes –Â making assessment more effective and effcient
teaching practices –Â supporting access, inclusion, and improved educational outcomes for all
continuing professional development –Â supporting teachers, lecturers andeducation leaders so they can develop more flexibly
learning throughout life –Â supporting decisions about work or further study andhelping those who are not in the formal education system gain new skills.
The strategy document provides a selection of case studies where Technology is currently being used to support these areas, including examples of good practice from the FE sector.
