INTERVIEW<\/strong> \ud83c\udf99\ufe0f The Digital Strategy for Education 2023-2027 is based on a series of measures aimed at enhancing students\u2019 digital skills and promoting the use of digital tools to improve academic success. These measures were presented by the then-Minister of National Education and Youth, Pap Ndiaye, on Friday, January 27, 2023.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For almost two years now, all stakeholders in the sector have been working together to build a solid, efficient, and trustworthy foundation, giving educational technology the chance it deserves within a complex ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A status update and discussion were held with Audran Le Baron (who had been interviewed a year earlier) at the Educatech Expo in Paris-Porte de Versailles in November 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

This strategy represents significant progress, as it has finally allowed all those working on educational technology to agree on a collective vision.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

However, developments over the months have introduced new elements to the strategy’s landscape, such as the rapid growth of generative AI in 2024 and the work of the \u00ab\u00a0Screen Commission.\u00a0\u00bb Both must be considered to adapt the initial strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are assessing what has changed since last year and determining to what extent these changes necessitate adjustments to certain aspects of the Strategy,\u201d explains Le Baron. He adds, \u201cIt\u2019s not a complete overhaul; we are maintaining the four key pillars of the Strategy.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Incorporating the Omnipresence of Generative AI into the Strategy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Audran Le Baron notes that nearly 90% of high school students now use AI to assist with learning. \u201cHowever, we lack an institutional discourse addressing teachers, students, and parents about whether generative AI can be used and, if so, under what conditions<\/em>.\u201d he points out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Advancing the Technical Doctrine of the Strategy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The technical doctrine is one of the deliverables of the strategy’s implementation to organize digital education. In the first year, efforts focused on building the doctrine’s structure, with the initial version published in 2023. \u201cThis year, we reached a maturity level with interoperability and responsible digital guidelines,\u201d Audran Le Baron states. The goal for the third year is to operationalize the doctrine, providing concrete tools for stakeholders, such as local authorities and EdTech companies, to implement it within their platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Training: A Key Focus of the Strategy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNot all teachers are trained in digital tools and AI yet, but progress is being made,\u201d emphasizes Le Baron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Programs like Pix+ \u00c9du help teachers develop digital competencies specific to their teaching roles, beyond basic digital literacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modernizing the Magist\u00e8re ecosystem and creating the CREIA (Community for Reflection on Education and Artificial Intelligence) are also part of addressing these training needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the current budgetary context, it is reasonable to question the future of digital education. Despite a strategy that stays on course, how can stakeholders and the educational community be reassured about the months ahead?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur approach remains balanced; we don\u2019t claim that digital education will magically solve all educational challenges. While convinced of the value digital tools bring to learning and student performance\u2014backed by research and impact studies\u2014we are not blind to the broader budget constraints, which will require adjustments to certain programs,\u201d explains Audran Le Baron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are exploring ways to do as much, if not more, with fewer resources,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, shared resources like the ENT (Digital Work Environment) between the Brittany and Pays de la Loire regions demonstrate effective cost-saving collaborations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the resource accounts project, which is under consideration for feasibility in the current financial context, Audran Le Baron highlights ongoing efforts to ensure the sustainability of EdTech’s educational digital resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although resource accounts are no longer an immediate priority due to financial limitations, the Ministry is exploring alternative solutions to maintain the promised longevity of digital resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
