| | SEPTEMBER - OCTOBER 20256EUROPEEUROPETECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS THAT DRIVE EDUCATION SECTOREditorialOne of Europe's most profound technological shifts is reshaping Europe's education sector. For the first time, digital platforms are becoming central to how students learn, how schools manage holistic development and how institutions safeguard assessment integrity. This change is driven by the need to prepare citizens for an AI-driven economy while keeping education credible and inclusive.Practical AI skills platforms are moving beyond theory to focus on workplace-ready applications. Supported by EU initiatives such as the Digital Europe Programme, they integrate coding, ethics and sector-specific use cases into training. School co-curricular management platforms are helping institutions capture the value of student life outside the classroom. By digitising activities such as sports, arts and volunteering, they create a clear record of participation that supports university admissions and employability. Online exam proctoring platforms have matured into secure, trusted systems that go well beyond their pandemic origins. Combining AI monitoring with human oversight allows universities and certification bodies to scale remote assessment without sacrificing fairness. Market projections reflect this momentum. Europe's AI skills training market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 20 to 25 percent through 2030. The co-curricular and curriculum management software market is forecast to expand by a 15.5 percent CAGR through 2033. The online exam proctoring market is projected to grow at a 17 percent CAGR between 2025 and 2034.This edition highlights leaders and organisations driving Europe's education transformation.
