Educator insights survey 2025

I’m delighted to share Kami’s latest research report which dives into core teaching tools, trends, and techniques.

Based on an exclusive survey of over 2,000 educators, the report’s findings serve as a timely temperature check of both sentiment and strategy across the education sector, and in particular amongst teachers (who constituted 66% of all respondents).

Room to grow

Overall, the results paint a mixed picture of ambitions, challenges and opportunities. Student engagement emerged as one of the core areas needing improvement, with nearly half of all respondents (45%) rating it as ‘Moderate’. 

Five years on from the pandemic outbreak, nearly 1 in 3 respondents (26%) told us that they believed COVID-19 had had a significant, detrimental effect on learning outcomes.

Professional development needed 

From a technology perspective, the survey unveiled a combination of curiosity, concerns and constraints. 

Despite 93% of those surveyed reporting that they felt comfortable using technology in their teaching, nearly half revealed that they hadn’t received any professional development on tech integration in the past year. For educators reading this, it won’t come as a surprise to know that a lack of time and funding pressures were cited as common obstacles to accessing development opportunities.

AI: intrigue and caution

In a sign of the times, the survey also explored educator attitudes towards AI and emerging technologies. Despite a lot of AI -related value being identified by respondents, their optimism was firmly counterbalanced by a raft of concerns, ranging from ethics to accuracy.

Tellingly, those concerns haven’t dampened educators’ appetite for, and frequent use of, technology more broadly. A noticeable 84% of respondents said they were interested in receiving training on how to integrate AI (and similar) into their teaching. Meanwhile, 60% cited ‘Gamification tools’ as the emerging technology that piqued their interest the most.

In many ways, the survey findings corroborate what we do here at Kami, where our evidence-based results paint a compelling picture of how technology is redefining modern-day teaching and learning methods.

We hope that you enjoy reading the report, and our sincere thanks go to all of the survey respondents who gave us their valuable time: You can access the report here.
