Teaching science through a second language goes far beyond vocabulary and content. In primary Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) classrooms, which are widely implemented across Europe, teachers must balance subject learning, language development, and competence-based education. This article examines the challenges and practical strategies that help make bilingual science learning meaningful, accessible, and effective for young learners.
In a world where skills evolve as fast as careers, lifelong learning is essential. Yet despite decades of reform, participation in continuing education remains stagnant. A new OECD report calls for a rethink: what makes the difference is not just access to opportunities, but the ability to stay curious, build skills and access the right levers. Real-world examples tell the story.
As artificial intelligence becomes an everyday presence in schools, EdCan Network is inviting educators to join a new series of virtual roundtable discussions on how AI is shaping education. Organized with L’École branchée (EngagED Learning) and The Dais, the sessions will explore practical, ethical and future-focused questions for classrooms and schools, in both English and French, starting in January 2026. Read on to learn more about the topics and how to participate.
