How this fits into EU education policy

Supporting teachers is essential to a thriving digital education ecosystem. These guidelines are a flagship initiative of the Digital Education Action Plan (2021–2027)which aims to support the digital transformation of education systems across Europe.

This work also aligns directly with the Union of Skills commitment. By providing you with these practical, hands-on tools, the EU ensures that you have everything you need to cultivate the competent, adaptable, and digitally literate workforce that Europe requires.

Later this year, the Commission will also adopt a broader Education Package to further modernise schools and support your work through cross-border collaboration. It will also aim to empower learners and advance digital learning through the 2030 Roadmap on the future of digital education and skills.

The guidelines were developed with the support of dedicated expert groups. These groups bring together various profiles from academia, teacher training, civil society, broadcasting, and the European Commission. Two sets of guidelines were updated by working groups of the European Digital Education Hub.
