Digital public service for education

In 2013, the Law of Refoundation of the School of the Republic created the «public service of digital education», to teach students the digital techniques for their civic and professional integration, improve pedagogy through the use of digital services and resources in the classroom, but also promote equal opportunities. The aim was also to modernise the management of the educational service by facilitating relations between teachers, pupils and parents. The connection of schools and schools is still insufficient and, in many cases, non-existent; strong inequalities in the equipment of classes and students remain between the territories; the supply of digital resources, abundant and often innovative, is not organised; without sufficient initial and in-service training, only a minority of teachers are comfortable with digital-based pedagogy.
