The challenge

Teachers face high workload pressures, managing time-consuming tasks like marking, lesson planning, and administrative work. While AI offers promising solutions, current tools often fall short. A major limitation is their lack of access to high-quality, reliable educational data, which limited effectiveness and reduces trust among educators.

The solution

A centralised content store is being developed to consolidate government educational resources. It brings together curriculum guidance, lesson plans, and anonymised pupil assessments. This repository is designed to support the training of AI models, enabling the development of accurate, high-quality, and legally compliant educational tools tailored for schools.

The results

• Early tests by the Department for Education (DfE) show that supplying generative AI models with targeted educational data can increase accuracy to 92%, compared to 67% without such data.
• 16 education technology providers are using the content store to develop AI-powered tools for teachers, supported by £1 million in Innovate UK funding.
