EdTech can light up the next century of education – and I believe it will – but there are no guarantees.
So getting AI on the right track now is the most important challenge for global education in a generation.
And we have far to go to deliver the scale of progress that I know is possible.
Our evidence-base is too narrow, too shallow, too concentrated in certain parts of the world, too focused on certain parts of the system.
More research is needed; better research is needed.
On impact.
On value.
On sustainability.
And on safety.
We need to come together to grow a global, collective consensus – a suite of effective tools, built on top-class evidence.
That’s how, together, we can make sure EdTech and AI deliver the very best learning for children.
