K-12 Classrooms and Digital Curriculum

The US K-12 classroom is the largest and most politically exposed education-technology market in the world. Roughly 49 million public-school students in about 13,000 districts use software chosen by teachers, curriculum directors and procurement offices and paid for mostly with public money. Between 2020 and 2024 the market went through a once-in-a-generation shock: emergency remote learning, near-universal one-to-one devices and about $190 billion of federal relief. When the relief expired, vendors learned how much of their revenue had been one-time money.
