Do I need permission from students, and so from parents, to use Ed.ai?

📍 For schools in France. This article covers a system that only schools in France use.

❌ No, no permission is needed.

Using Ed.ai is part of a teaching project approved at the school level, as one of the school’s digital resources.

Access goes through the ENT and the GAR (Gestionnaire d’Accès aux Ressources), which guarantee compliance with the data protection requirements of the French Ministry of Education (ministère de l’Éducation nationale).

💬 That said, it helps to support the project with clear communication.

We provide several ready-to-use materials (in French) to help you present the Ed.ai project and answer questions from students and families:

👩‍🏫 For students

• Practical tips for presenting the Ed.ai project in class

• Information notice for students

👨‍👩‍👧 For parents

• Practical tips for talking about the project with families

• Information notice for parents and legal guardians

These documents give you concrete pointers to explain the approach, answer common questions (from students, parents and colleagues) and clarify where Ed.ai fits in your teaching.
