The monitoring promoted by the Ministry of Education and Merit on the use of digital technology in secondary schools, carried out in the school year 2025/2026 also in order to define support and accompanying measures, shows a largely positive picture. Schools are reinforcing both rules and educational actions to promote a conscious use of technologies.

Data

The data show a very broad uptake of the measures on banning mobile phone use in the classroom: more than 90% of schools have already included it in their acts and regulations. Alongside the rules, a strong educational investment emerges: more than two out of three schools have activated dedicated civic education modules and organised seminars with experts, while more than half are promoting specific projects on smartphones and social networking. Also on the content side, more than two thirds of schools work on the safe use of digital devices and more than half address the issue of fake news.

 

The families

The commitment to involving and informing families is also very significant. On the innovation front, almost 97% of schools have already adopted or are in the process of adopting Artificial Intelligence Guidelines. Moreover, among the tools considered most useful by schools, about 80% indicate educational paths for students, over 70% teacher training and about two out of three schools provide information materials for students and families.


The Minister

 "The monitoring returns very encouraging results and confirms that the school system is tackling the digital challenge with seriousness and maturity," says the Minister for Education and Merit, Giuseppe Valditara. "Schools have embraced the new rules and at the same time are building educational paths based on responsibility, prevention and awareness. This is how what we have defined as a constitutional school is being realised: the school that has the person of the student at its centre".
"The monitoring bears witness to the work done and the consequent commitment of educational institutions in guiding students and families towards a balanced, safe and responsible use of new technologies. Very positive," Valditara continues, "is also the implementation of the Artificial Intelligence Guidelines, which shows attention to innovation and the ability to govern its effects, which is also the result of the many investments of resources made and dedicated to innovation and digitalisation. Suffice it to recall the investment of 2.1 billion for the transformation of classrooms into innovative learning environments and the large-scale 800 million training plan for school staff on digitalisation, including the latest announcement for specific training on Artificial Intelligence," concludes Minister Valditara.

 

Training courses soon

Specific training courses for teachers will also start shortly with Indire to better implement the new Guidelines on Civic Education, which envisage teaching proper smartphone and social media management. The aim is to provide students with a greater awareness of the problems, risks and opportunities of digital tools and Artificial Intelligence.
