Education Analytics calls on K-12 systems to adopt open-source tools and data standards to harness generative AI and transform public education
"Open-source tools create a foundation where AI can thrive in education, enabling districts to integrate advanced analytics while maintaining control and transparency over their data."— Andrew Rice
MADISON, WI, UNITED STATES, December 13, 2024 /

Education Analytics (EA), a nonprofit leader in advancing data-driven education solutions, has issued a call to action for K-12 education systems to embrace
open-source tools and interoperable data standards as essential pathways to enable the power of generative AI to transform public education. EA CEO, Andrew Rice, explores how these technologies empower educators and administrators to break free from siloed, disconnected data systems and better serve students nationwide.
His blog, “The Path Forward in Public Education is Open-Source and Interoperable,” underscores the importance of integrating data systems to make
generative AI in education a reality. By investing in and building publicly owned, locally controlled and operated, interoperable infrastructure, education systems can bring compatible AI algorithms and tools to school systems themselves, rather than shipping schools’ data out to proprietary companies who can provide those algorithms and tools.
For education technology professionals, district leaders, and policymakers, Dr. Rice’s blog offers actionable insights and a compelling case for embracing open-source solutions.
