Digital revolution in the education system: Minister Hubig presents progress!

Rhineland-Palatinate is making great progress in the digitization of its schools. As [N-TV] reports, timetables and parent letters are now available digitally. The AI ​​learning platform "Fobizz" is used at almost all schools in the country, which is a significant leap in digital education.

A total of over 1,400 of the approximately 1,600 schools in Rhineland-Palatinate activated their access to "Fobizz". This platform, which has been available to all schools since the beginning of 2024, offers data protection-compliant access to various AI applications in the field of education. Minister of Education Stefanie Hubig (SPD) announced that more than 8,500 virtual classrooms have been created since the platform was introduced and over a million instructions, so -called "prompt".

training and investments

Digitization not only provides for the provision of technologies, but also the further training of the teachers. In Rhineland-Palatinate, more than 22,000 further training on digital topics started. These measures are part of the state government's strategy of introducing digital tools to support teachers in their pedagogical tasks. In order to secure the use of "fobizz", the license was recently extended, with an investment volume of almost 1.38 million euros.

The license for the AI ​​learning platform was originally valid until mid-2025. According to the state government, there have so far been no illegal attempts or security incidents, which means a high degree of security for the users of "Fobizz". The platform has defined processes for reporting data breakdowns and documentation of security incidents.

a step into a digitized future

The continuous promotion of digitization in the field of education is also supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. According to [Empirical Education Research BMBF], education is to be considered over the entire lifespan in order to counter the challenges of technological change. The strategy "educational offensive for the digital knowledge society" promotes interdisciplinary projects that are necessary to develop teach-learning processes in the digital environment.

With regard to progress in Rhineland-Palatinate, reference is made to the conceptual foundations of digitization. The fields of action include not only the design of educational processes in digital environments, but also the development of competencies for a digital world.

On March 12, 2025 at 1 p.m. Minister Stefanie Hubig will inform about further steps for digitization in Mainz. The progress in the digital school is a sign that Rhineland-Palatinate is on the right track to make teachers and students fit for the digital future.
