Benchmark yourself with the AIGN Education Framework – the global certifiable standard for trustworthy, safe, and inclusive AI in schools and universities.
100% privacy by design – no data leaves your device.
1. Governance & Accountability
1. Are clear roles (leadership, IT, teaching, data, ethics) for AI use in your institution documented? E.g., RACI matrix, nominated AI governance leads, clear responsibilities for AI oversight.
2. Are escalation and reporting paths for technical, ethical, or legal AI incidents defined and regularly tested? E.g., stop-the-line, redline register, crisis drills for AI grading/data incidents.
3. Is there a cross-functional AI committee or board (e.g., with teachers, IT, students, parents) overseeing AI governance? E.g., regular meetings, review of AI policies and new tools, inclusive oversight structure.
2. Technical Governance
4. Are all AI tools inventoried and regularly audited for technical reliability, security, and explainability? E.g., list of all EdTech/AI applications, audit logs, technical due diligence.
5. Do all AI systems used in teaching or administration provide explainability dashboards for teachers and students? E.g., understandable logic for grading, recommendations, or personalized learning paths.
6. Are there technical controls in place to enforce “red lines” (e.g., ban on surveillance, profiling, emotion detection) in all AI? E.g., contract clauses, technical restrictions, automated alerts for forbidden AI use.
3. Data Governance & Privacy
7. Is the consent lifecycle (collection, management, withdrawal) for all student/parent data systematically managed? E.g., GDPR/COPPA compliant, clear dashboards, opt-out process, periodic consent review.
8. Are bias and fairness audits of AI data sets and outcomes performed (e.g., language, gender, disability, region)? E.g., bias detection tools, demographic analysis, independent audits of grading, placement, feedback.
9. Are there formal data stewardship roles and documented data governance policies in place? E.g., appointed data steward, regular training, clear policies for data sharing and third-party EdTech use.
4. Ethical Alignment & Red Lines
10. Are redline policies (e.g., “no profiling of minors”, “no surveillance in classrooms”) clearly defined and enforced? E.g., public policy, contract clauses, technical/organizational enforcement in all AI deployments.
11. Are students’ rights to appeal, human review, and contest AI decisions documented and accessible? E.g., clear appeals process for grading, feedback, admissions, behavioral scoring, etc.
12. Are ethical audits and student voice reviews part of routine AI governance? E.g., regular surveys, ethics reviews, inclusion of students in AI evaluation.
5. Stakeholder & Student Voice
13. Are students, parents/guardians, and teachers actively involved in AI policy decisions? E.g., feedback rounds, co-design, transparent communication on new AI deployments.
14. Are concerns and complaints from students/parents visibly tracked and responded to (with change logs)? E.g., open issue tracker, transparent reporting, documented action on feedback.
15. Are inclusive participation methods (for marginalized, disabled, or minority groups) used in AI governance? E.g., translated materials, accessible feedback tools, outreach for diverse groups.
6. Sustainability & Digital Inclusion
16. Are AI tools selected or designed to ensure equal access for all student groups (e.g., hardware, internet, disabilities)? E.g., inclusion programs, offline/low-resource support, universal design.
17. Are sustainability criteria (ecological, technical, social) considered in the selection and deployment of AI systems? E.g., energy-efficient cloud, long-term technical support, open content, low-bandwidth compatibility.
18. Are there programs or policies to close digital divides and support low-resource learners (devices, connectivity, literacy)? E.g., device access programs, training for teachers/parents, community outreach.
7. Compliance, Incident & Procurement Governance
19. Are legal compliance requirements (EU AI Act, GDPR, COPPA, country law) documented and mapped for all AI uses? E.g., compliance toolkit, contract clauses, regular legal reviews.
20. Are AI procurement, vendor assessment and contract processes aligned with governance and ethical standards? E.g., vendor risk checklist, DPA (Data Processing Agreements), red line clauses in contracts.
21. Are there incident response plans, reporting protocols, and learning loops for AI-related failures? E.g., logs, escalation roles, communication templates, post-incident review, vendor notification.
8. Parental & Guardian Engagement
22. Are parents and guardians actively informed about and able to consent to AI use involving their children? E.g., consent forms, info packs, opt-out options, regular updates before new AI deployment.
23. Do parents/guardians have feedback channels and escalation rights in AI incidents affecting their children? E.g., feedback portal, complaint forms, parent seats in governance board, escalation policy for complaints.
24. Are parents or guardians included in the design, review or policy update processes for AI in the institution? E.g., involvement in committees, survey participation, review of new AI tools, co-signing of red lines.
