Why Unplugging Isn’t the Answer: The Basic Skills Europe Cannot Ignore

The past few years have been nothing short of tumultuous for education. Across the globe, schools responded to lockdowns with what can only be described as a "shock digitalization." Amid this upheaval, we’ve seen worrying trends: declining literacy, numeracy, and science results in PISA assessments, a growing wave of mobile phone bans across Europe, and now the ICILS report, which shatters the myth that young people, simply because they’ve grown up with smartphones and the internet, automatically possess strong digital skills. They do not.

Human-Centred Education: Actively shaping the future of AI in Education

On the 24th to 25th of October, the EEA helped facilitate the Council of Europe's second Working Conference on Regulating AI Systems in Education. The two-day event in Strasbourg gathered over a hundred experts and actors in AI and education to explore how we can create a legal instrument guiding the practice and development of AI systems.

The conference was attended by over 250 participants from 45 different countries, and all of these various points of views made the discussions incredibly interesting and productive. Throughout the two-day conference we heard from 13 keynote speakers and then organised the participants into smaller groups who all had an expert facilitator managing the discussions.
