Tuesday, 7 July 2026 — What’s really shaping education this week
The Italian Ministry has pledged a major investment in AI for schools, stressing it will back up teachers rather than take their place. It’s a smart move recognising the right role for AI in education.
Mario Pittoni from the Lega party is pushing for a double channel approach to teacher recruitment, a hot topic as staffing shortages linger. This shows the ongoing struggle to find practical solutions for attracting and keeping teachers.
56% of students say their schools have dirty toilets and poor Wi-Fi, highlighting a big gap in the learning environment. This is a wake-up call for school leaders who know the physical space matters as much as teaching quality.
OPIT’s new free online summer course offers a practical intro to AI, cloud computing and cybersecurity. Great for upskilling educators or students looking to get ahead with tech skills.
