As education leaders look ahead to 2025, they predict schools will focus on tools that serve clear purposes and show measurable impact. Technology that supports teaching while meeting school safety needs will be essential, particularly as budgets tighten and districts evaluate their tech investments. Instructional audio systems represent this shift, as highlighted in new predictions for the education sector. These systems support classroom instruction while adding vital safety features for school-wide communication and emergency response. According to Lightspeed Technologies SVP of Product Shaun Fagan in “50 Edtech Predictions for 2025,” instructional audio systems for classrooms will help schools manage both daily teaching needs and crisis situations through features like mobile alerts and two-way communication. His insights show how single-purpose classroom tools are evolving to address multiple school priorities in one integrated solution.
