AI and the surge of digital tools for teachers
This week we published a report on AI and the surge of digital tools for teachers. The report covers teacher shortages across Europe, teacher workloads and the make-up of their schedules, and an insight into key opportunities in the space.
The EdTech Garage (a Brighteye partner project) interviews founders & players supporting early-stage Edtech startups from across Europe in the Edtech Founders podcast. The latest podcast episode features Michaela Horvathova, co-founder and Chief Education Officer at Beyond Education, a startup at the forefront of deploying soft skills programs and assessments to schools.
