Thanks to the support of our research and funding partners we are able to support parents to understand digital technologies in schools in Ireland.
PEDL bridges the digital gap, equipping parents with the skills to engage in their children's digital learning and monitor academic progress.
By training parents in modern educational tools, PEDL ensures a digitally skilled school community prepared for today’s learning environment.
PEDL helps disadvantaged families, ensuring all students, regardless of background, receive essential support for academic success.
Research shows that parental involvement is a key factor in student success. PEDL helps bridge the digital divide by equipping parents with the knowledge and confidence to support their children's learning in a digital environment.
PEDL provides hands-on training to parents, helping them use the same platforms their children rely on for learning. This contributes to a digitally skilled school community, better prepared for modern educational challenges.
PEDL is specifically tailored to address the needs of families that may be at risk of educational disadvantage due to limited access to or skills with digital technologies.
One of the unique benefits of PEDL is its focus on improving the relationship between parents and schools. By inviting parents to participate in the programme, schools open their doors to the community, fostering a sense of belonging and shared responsibility.
Ireland's Digital Strategy for Schools 2027 recognises the importance of integrating digital technologies in education and the critical role parents play in supporting this process. PEDL aligns with these national goals.
