Join us for an event in collaboration with Winning Scotland.

What are educational stakeholders’ views on whether AI-based teaching and learning tools can help address current challenges facing Scotland’s education system? Does Scotland have the right conditions for responsible and effective implementation of AI in schools? What are stakeholders’ views on both benefits and risks from AI use in Scottish schools?

Join us for the public launch of a research report commissioned by Winning Scotland and conducted by the University of Edinburgh, Educate Ventures Research, and the dots. Drawing on evidence gathered across eight Scottish local authorities — including perspectives from school leaders, teachers, parents, and learners — the report examines Scotland’s preparedness to adopt AI tools across governance, infrastructure, and classroom practice. Hear from Winning Scotland’s leadership, lead researchers from each partner organisation, and a Scottish Government official who will contextualise the findings against the recently published Scottish Government Guidelines and Guardrails on AI in Schools.

Whether you are a teacher, school leader, parent, or education officer supporting the schools locally or nationally, this webinar provides current evidence, stakeholder perspectives and critical insights to inform Scotland’s educational future with AI. We also invite you to share your experiences and insights on the way forward.
