The launch of the AiEd Certified framework gives schools and colleges in England a clear, structured roadmap for using artificial intelligence responsibly. Built around five pillars – AI literacy, ethics, tools, pedagogy, and collaboration – the framework helps educators reduce workload, build staff confidence, and reassure parents. For EdTech suppliers, it opens new opportunities: schools cutting costs through AI have more budget for resources, and growing demand for AI products creates a thriving market.

As UK schools adapt to rising pressures, from staff wellbeing to inclusive teaching, education suppliers and EdTech companies must evolve too. This blog explores how schools are changing and what opportunities this creates for those supporting the sector.
