Since the launch of the dialogue meetings between the Minister and representatives of local authorities, seven sessions have been held, two of which focused on digital issues.

The 4th Digital Symposium conducted a mid-term review of the strategy on 30 June 2025.

Between 2022 and 2026, 12 Digital Education Territories (TNE) provided a framework for experimentation and roll-out to support the digital transformation of schools, covering equipment, training, resources and parental involvement. A report by the IGÉSR has been submitted, and the ongoing evaluation is helping to document more precisely the effects of the scheme, particularly on regional governance arrangements.

The open data platform data.education.gouv.fr has gradually evolved into a fully-fledged digital services infrastructure, offering wider access to datasets of public interest, accompanied by interactive visualisations and services designed to make them accessible to everyone: local authorities (under agreements signed by the Ministry with associations of local authorities), researchers, journalists, NGOs, EdTech companies and members of the public.

Two further developments relating to performance data (closed data):

• Representatives from local authorities and central government have defined the initial indicators based on data regarding equipment, training, the use of digital resources and services, and pupils’ skills, as well as the visualisation of these indicators in a dashboard. The digital education dashboard went live in autumn 2025, following prototyping work with pilot users. It enables these indicators to be visualised on a dashboard, from the national level down to the school level, and allows the equipment inventory of lower and upper secondary schools to be viewed, where local authorities have shared this data.

• In 2023, the Ministerial Administrator for Data, Algorithms and Source Codes and Inria carried out a preliminary phase for the data platform, involving stakeholders in the education sector. The preliminary report has been published: https://inria.hal.science/hal-04443624. The State and local authorities produced a map of data of general interest to be exchanged in a simplified and secure manner. An agreement between the State and Régions de France was signed in November 2024 to structure data exchanges. The DOCTE² data exchange platform (closed-data) has been operational since January 2026.

Representatives from local authorities and central government met in the fourth quarter of 2024 to update the ‘core principles’ guidelines relating to the sensible use of screens and greater environmental responsibility. These were published in early 2025.

Consultations on a framework for individual equipment were launched in January 2026 to achieve the following objectives:

• To improve the exchange of directory data necessary for the precise and optimal management of access rights and the security of IT terminals connected to the network

• To extend the lifespan of equipment and minimise purchases

• Reduce the environmental footprint of equipment

• Automate the management, maintenance and reliability of this equipment

• Establish local governance with a medium-term perspective involving stakeholders, including schools and local education authorities, to anticipate needs

• Streamline the number of software programmes – and their versions – on IT terminals

• Optimise knowledge of the IT environment in each school and local education authority and standardise it within the same local authority

• Define a framework for eco-friendly individual equipment and implementation procedures based on educational use (secondary schools) by the start of the 2026 academic year.
