US states lack a sufficient understanding of the importance of data interoperability in education technology, according to a report from the Every Student Succeeds Act. The report profiled the ways in which different states manage their education data, highlighting how it can be effective for applications including feedback for students and personalised learning. Problems it found included inconsistency of standards and lack of access to usable data, and the report recommended improvements such as implementing a data governance structure in each state department of education.
