Abstract: The use of technology in education has the potential to reduce workload, increase inclusivity and support students to develop digital skills needed for opportunity and growth. The Department for Education (DfE) wants all schools to have access to the reliable and safe technology they need for their students to achieve and thrive and for their organisations to run efficiently. This is why they have set the ambition for every school to meet the six core digital and technology standards by 2030. In late 2022, IFF Research was commissioned to conduct a five-wave biennial Technology in Schools Survey (TiSS) to help the DfE to understand how best to support schools to embed and use technology in ways that support cost savings, workload efficiencies and improved pupil outcomes. The TiSS was commissioned to better understand a range of objectives which can be broadly grouped as: (1) Schools' decision-making and planning around the use of technology, including who makes these decisions and what information they use; (2) What technology is being used for and how effective it is; (3) The advantages of and barriers to effective technology implementation and use; (4) The quality of the technology (hardware/software) being used, and the extent to which schools are meeting the DfE standards for digital and technology; and (5) Schools' use and experience of DfE digital services. It is intended that the findings will also be used to help the education technology sector understand the technology landscape of the school sector. The first wave of the biennial TiSS research was conducted in 2022-2023, with this research building on the Education Technology (EdTech) survey previously conducted in 2020-21. The second wave of the TiSS research was conducted in 2024-25, and this report details the findings from this study, highlighting changes in the use and application of EdTech across the last 2 years. As with the 2023 research, the 2025 fieldwork focused on primary and secondary schools in England, including Local Authority-maintained schools and academies. Independent schools and special schools were not in scope of this research. Due to the broad range of topics covered, there were separate questionnaires for school leaders, teachers, and school information technology (IT) leads.
