AI in schools presents enormous opportunities for learning, lesson planning, and personalised education. Yet at the same time, it places high demands on data security, student safety, and GDPR compliance. With thoughtful AI support built directly into Skolon, harnessing this potential becomes simple. Use our safety checklist to ensure safe, educational, and controlled AI usage across your MAT or school.

Introducing AI into teaching isn’t just about adopting new technology; it’s fundamentally about providing teachers with the right tools to ease their daily workload, while empowering students to develop critical thinking and digital literacy. Developed in the Nordics and specifically tailored to the needs of schools and trusts, this solution offers a unique combination of pedagogy, technology, and high data security.

Pedagogy, technology, and security hand in hand

“Skolup is the safest way to work with AI in schools – supporting teacher planning, instruction, and follow-up, as well as collaborative classroom activities with students. It delivers a unique combination of pedagogy, technology, and security – built specifically for the needs of schools.”

Feel free to use the checklist below to ensure that your school’s AI implementation aligns with current legal requirements, official guidelines, and educational goals:

Safety and data security in focus:

  • [x] Complies with national legislation: Continuously updated in line with official authority guidelines for AI in education.
  • [x] GDPR-compliant: Makes it easy to work with AI in full compliance with GDPR requirements.
  • [x] Nordic development & Swedish hosting: Developed by Skolon in the Nordics and securely hosted in Sweden.
  • [x] EU-hosting: Offers the option to use AI models running exclusively within the EU (with zero third-country data transfers).
  • [x] Automated privacy protection: Safeguards personal data with built-in, automated security features.
  • [x] No history or data storage: Stores no personal user data and does not construct personal user profiles or history.
  • [x] Automatic anonymisation: Automatically anonymises personal data mentioned in chats right at the moment of entry.
  • [x] No model training on your data: Never uses your entered text to train underlying AI models.
  • [x] No filter bubbles: Free from algorithms that create filter bubbles or echo chambers.

Your school maintains full control:

  • [x] Manage access: Control and customise which AI features are accessible to teachers versus students.
  • [x] Select AI models: Choose exactly which AI models are made available for instructional use.
  • [x] Built-in smart moderation: Moderate chats using integrated safety features that automatically block and flag inappropriate content (such as violence or pornography).
  • [x] Customisable rules: Adapt moderation settings to match curriculum requirements and define allowed or restricted topics.
  • [x] Strengthen critical thinking: Utilise features that boost students’ critical thinking skills and facilitate natural classroom discussions about AI and information evaluation.
  • [x] Personalisation & language: Use AI to support differentiated learning pathways and language instruction.
  • [x] Inspiring planning: Create structured lesson plans and instructional materials quickly with AI assistance.
  • [x] Compare models: Evaluate different AI models side-by-side to assess their respective strengths and weaknesses across subjects.
  • [x] Child safety first: Identify AI models featuring dedicated child safety settings for enhanced protection in schools.

Smart AI support that makes a real difference in the classroom

SSkolup is packed with intelligent tools for both teachers and students. Integrated directly into Skolon’s main toolbar, these features are ready to use instantly without complex setups or prior technical expertise:

  • Practical relief for teachers: Create quiz materials, lesson inspiration, adapted exercises, or quick substitute plans in seconds. You can also illustrate complex concepts using text or image generation.
  • Interactive learning for students: Set up subject-specific bots – like an Algebra Bot or Periodic Table Bot – or upload documents to chat directly with content for faster comprehension.
  • Critical thinking in practice: Compare answers from different AI models side-by-side with the side by side feature, or challenge responses by fact-checking against web sources with a single click.
