connectivity & beyond: digitization of education
The ETNO/BCG report, Connectivity & Beyond found that the COVID-19 pandemic shone a bright spotlight on the shortcomings of the education system in countries around the world. Europe did not escape exposure. As schools were closed, administrators scrambled to mobilize alternative channels for remote learning. There were plenty of hurdles. For example:
- More than 60% of nine-year-olds in the EU are in schools that are not digitally equipped
- There are only three EU countries in which more than 50% of teachers used ICT tools in their lessons on a daily basis pre-COVID-19
- More than half of countries in which schools were closed during the pandemic had to create national education platforms
Against this backdrop, the EU’s existing Digital Education Action Plan (2021-2027), which includes such goals as enforcing strategic dialogue, improving connectivity in schools, encourage women in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), and having less than 15% of students underperforming in ICILS (International Computer and Information Literacy Study) by 2030, comes up short. It lacks tangible quantitative KPIs as well as a strong focus on the main protagonists—students, parents, and teachers.

Building Trust in the Digital Era: the eIDAS regulation
The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity issues technical guidance and recommendations on Electronic Identification and Trust Services helping Member States to implement the eIDAS regulation.
In this challenging period, the “EU digital ID scheme for online transactions across Europe” initiative will drive the revision of the eIDAS and will promote digital identities for all Europeans. ENISA in order to support the Commission has undertaken activities to explore the security considerations for trust service providers and remote identity proofing.

@vonderleyen on #AI: “We envisage mandatory rules applicable to all AI systems that pose a high risk to the rights or safety of people. In the case of applications that would be simply incompatible with fundamental rights, we may need to go further”
