Why the National AI Framework is a Win for Schools and EdTech

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.
