The EdTech Demonstrator programme, launched in April 2020, provided peer-to-peer support on making the best use of technology to support remote teaching during the COVID-19 outbreak. Over 4,000 schools and further education colleges received support as part of Phase 1 of the EdTech Demonstrator Programme, with over 11,000 accessing live weekly webinars and tutorials.

891 schools and further education colleges have now registered for Phase 2 of the EdTech Demonstrator Programme, which aims to bridge the gap from crisis response to long-term sustained use of technology.
