Question 15445 — teaching

Summary

Ms. Laure de La Raudière draws the attention of the Minister of National Education and Youth to the supervision of data protection when using educational applications in the school setting. The digital strategy “digital at the service of the school of trust”, presented on August 21, 2018, describes the tools and methods aimed at making digital a real lever for modernization and evolution of teaching. Taking up the recommendation of MP Cédric Villani's report, the Government intends to promote and develop the use of innovative applications using artificial intelligence, in order to develop teaching practices. Many Ed-tech players are developing tools to achieve this objective, by creating educational software aimed at meeting the expectations of teachers and support students in their learning by facilitating differentiated, individualized and autonomous teaching. Thus fighting concretely against dropping out of school and by offering the teaching community educational support for individualized monitoring and supporting the acquisition of fundamental knowledge. Aware of the risks inherent in the development of new technologies and their uses, particularly in the field school, being aimed at a young audience, Ed-tech players pay particular attention to guaranteeing data protection. However, the supervision of data protection during the use of educational applications in the school context is a source of legal uncertainties: what authorizations must a teacher have to authorize students in the school context to use educational software which collection of personal data? Should the software provider retrieve these permissions? What happens when the student's legal guardian does not give authorization? Also, she asks him to please specify the obligations of software suppliers in this area, which constitutes an essential prerequisite for the deployment of technological innovations in school education.
