The Scottish Government recognise the importance of harnessing technology in ways that enhance learning and teaching, ensuring it complements the wider ambitions of Scottish education.

Scotland’s National Performance Framework provides the broader context for this work. It sets out a national vision focused on wellbeing, equality and improving outcomes for people and communities, guiding how public services, including education, contribute to a fairer and more successful Scotland.  

The Scottish Government’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Schools: Guidelines and Guardrails sets national expectations for the safe, ethical and responsible use of AI in education, ensuring that children’s rights, privacy and the central role of human relationships in learning are protected.

Together, these frameworks reflect Scotland’s evolving direction for digital and AI in education, centred on safe, equitable and purposeful use of technology that supports high‑quality learning.
