Schools are increasingly adopting internal digital tools to improve their operations. These tools facilitate administrative management, communication between staff and students, as well as educational monitoring. Thanks to these technologies, coordination becomes smoother and information is centralized, allowing for increased efficiency.
By integrating management platforms, mobile applications, and performance tracking systems, schools can better meet the needs of their educational communities. Teachers can share online resources, organize interactive classes, and track student progress in real time. Parents, for their part, can more easily access information regarding their children’s schooling.

The Flagship Program, implemented by the ministry, relies on these technologies to raise awareness and train students.
Enhanced interaction with parents
Parents, often seeking transparency, also benefit from these tools. They can consult academic results, receive notifications, and actively participate in their children’s school life. Collaborations with entities like CLEMI and CNIL ensure data protection while optimizing the user experience.
The Circular of January 24, 2022 emphasizes the importance of integrating these tools into the Digital Educational Territories (TNE). The goal: a more inclusive and connected education, addressing the challenges of France 2030. 
How to effectively integrate digital tools in schools
The integration of digital tools in schools does not happen without a well-structured plan. The Ministry of National Education plays a key role in implementing various initiatives to facilitate this transition. The Circular of January 24, 2022 is an example, reminding the priorities for the Digital Educational Territories (TNE).
Training of educational stakeholders
For successful integration, training for teachers and administrative staff is essential. The ministry, in collaboration with Inria and other partners, organizes ongoing training sessions. These sessions cover:
- Mastery of digital tools
- Data management
- New teaching methods
These trainings allow teachers to familiarize themselves with modules like SNT and NSI, which are essential for developing students’ digital skills.
Collaboration with specialized entities
The implementation of digital tools requires close collaboration with specialized entities. The ministry collaborates with CLEMI, CNIL, and Arcom to ensure:
- Protection of personal data
- Awareness of media education
- Promotion of responsible digital use
These collaborations aim to provide a secure and educational environment for students.
Adoption of innovative programs
Integration also involves the adoption of innovative programs. The Flagship Program and the 1 scientific program, 1 class: challenge! are concrete examples. They aim to raise awareness and train students on the challenges of digital technology and sciences.
The Flagship Program, for example, focuses on preventing school bullying, using digital tools to quickly detect and address incidents. These initiatives promote a more inclusive and connected education, in line with the objectives of France 2030.
