EU education policy must support digitalisation of education – CSC gave input to the interim evaluation of the European Education Area
Considering the importance of skills and competences for Europe’s future as well as the increasing role that digitalisation plays in teaching and learning, the work on the European Education Area (EEA) must continue and digital aspects must remain among its key priorities.
Attention must be paid e.g. to making use of remote learning and virtual mobility solutions to make learning more accessible as well as developing digital services for life-long learning. A key issue is to avoid fragmentation and ensure interoperability between the various solutions and services that are being developed.
EEA must continue to address the development of learning and guidance services based on learning data analytics by providing guidelines on GDPR-compliant use of learning data and supporting the development of trustworthy AI tools for teaching and learning. Development of digital skills and competences must also remain among the priorities of EEA.
