The DfE, alongside the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, have today (21 March 2025) launched a consultation on their plans to make digital standards a requirement for all schools, alongside £45 million investment to improve connectivity. The press release states:
“Schools across the country are being supported by the government to close the digital divide in classrooms with a £45 million investment to improve connectivity and further plans to make digital standards a requirement for all schools.
The boost for schools will mean no learner is left behind in a modernised education system – as the government delivers on its Plan for Change to break the link between children’s background and their success.”
