Monaco

1. Extended Monaco (EM) is the digital strategy launched in 2019. It is a governmental strategy deployed in all sectors of the Public Administration to introduce ICT in all the aspects of government actions. According to the national authorities in the survey, while EM is indeed an essential partner and support, it cannot be considered as the initiator of any initiative in favour of a digital education policy. DCE as such is not clearly defined in the Monaco context and is not referred as such. In Monaco, DCE is implemented as part of two distinct frameworks: 
2. The Law n° 1.334 of the 12/07/2022 on education that sets digital education as one of the primary goals of the education system in Monaco. 
3. DCE is part of the Cooperation Agreement on learning between Monaco and France, which stipulates that public and private under contract schools in Monaco will follow the education programmes set by the French Ministry of Education and Youth

Not applicable (no DCE strategy in Monaco).

According to the national authorities responding to the survey, there are no known written frameworks. Usually the technological sector and Monaco Digital tend to impose their norms to the education world which is asked to create the content. Nevertheless, the Government of the Principality of Monaco, and more specifically the Department of Education, Youth and Sport, remain very attentive to giving digital technology for education and the appropriate use of new technologies, in learning the place it deserves, while respecting the needs of pupils and the pedagogical expectations linked to the different levels of learning
