Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when the new EdTech Leadership Group will be convened; and how the leadership group will be selected.

The EdTech Leadership Group is due to convene for the first time before summer recess.

Members of the group have been selected on the basis of their experience and ability to influence either the education technology industry or the education sector to further the aims of the Government’s education technology strategy. Members were also selected to ensure a balance of experience between the technology industry and education sectors (ensuring representation across different age-phases of education).
