The ENT, by democratizing access to digital resources and facilitating communication among all stakeholders in education, embodies a true revolution in the school world. 
The impact of ENT on education and the educational community
The ENT has profoundly changed the educational dynamic in France. First and foremost, students must acquire digital skills from preschool through high school. Courses in computer science and digital technology such as SNT (Digital Sciences and Technology) and NSI (Digital and Computer Sciences) are now taught in high school, thus training a generation of students more comfortable with contemporary technological issues.
The ‘1 scientist, 1 class: challenge!’ program allows researchers to intervene in second-grade classes in SNT, thereby strengthening the link between research and teaching. Sixth-grade students benefit from a Pix digital awareness certificate generalized by the ministry responsible for national education, and a Pix certification is awarded at the end of cycle 4 and at the end of the terminal cycle to certify their digital skills.
The introduction of the ENT has also strengthened cybersecurity and helped combat cyberbullying through the Phare Program. The Media and Information Education (EMI), supported by the Center for Media and Information Education (CLEMI), combats misinformation and develops students’ critical thinking. The CNIL and Arcom are partners in these initiatives, contributing to increased awareness of privacy protection issues.
Parents play a fundamental role in supporting their children in using digital tools. Teachers, for their part, continuously develop their digital skills through Pix+Édu and Magistère. The Basic Digital Foundation equips schools and educational institutions with digital equipment, and an IT bonus is awarded annually to teachers for their equipment. The France 2030 program funds Educational Digital Territories (TNE), ensuring uniform digital coverage across the entire territory.
