The Data Education in Schools programme is supporting teachers and learners to develop their data, digital and AI literacy skills. Our work includes development and delivery of professional learning, creation of classroom resources and the creation of an online knowledge sharing community that is supporting each other in data education.

Supporting teachers and learners is at the heart of what we do. The team is here to provide data, digital and AI education expertise to support teachers and young people to access a wide range of learning tailored to their needs and setting.
