Education & EdTech Hub

Education & EdTech 2025: Shaping the Future of Technology in Education

Welcome to the Education & EdTech programme hub. In 2024 techUK launched a programme of work to replicate the success of our sister market initiatives such as our Local public services and Health and social care programmes. The Education and EdTech programme aims to secure the economic promise and transformative power of education technology in the UK. By addressing systemic challenges facing our schools, trusts, colleges, and higher education institutes as well as uniting stakeholders across all providers and regions, we aim to support the UK's education sector in it's journey to technical and operational excellence. 

This programme is built on three interconnected pillars, each focusing on a key area of impact. Explore the pillars below to discover how we are driving change across schools, higher education institutions, and the EdTech ecosystem.
