Turning educational data into ethical, actionable insights for schools across Europe.
European schools generate more data than ever before, yet many institutions still struggle with fragmented data practices, limited data literacy competencies and the growing complexity of ethical and regulatory requirements.
Without appropriate governance frameworks and institutional capacity, educational data often remains underutilised, limiting its potential to improve teaching quality, learning outcomes and school decision-making.
SCHOOLWISE addresses these challenges by developing practical frameworks, governance models and capacity-building resources that enable schools to use data responsibly, effectively and in line with European standards.
