Children in 20,000 schools across the UK are being invited by Sir Richard Branson to share how technology is supporting their learning and helping to shape futures.
Generation Tech, a state-of-the-nation review of the role that technology plays in education, is being launched today by Virgin Media Business.
The company is calling for submissions from pupils and teachers across the country to answer the Big Digital Question - how schools today are embracing the 21st century classroom and how it can continue to enhance learning tomorrow.
The final study aims to show the deep and long lasting impact technology is already having on the education of our young people, and what the future holds.
Generation Tech will also include the hunt for members for a Digital Youth Council through nominations made by schools. The Council will be a forum for young people to engage directly with leading influencers in education. The students chosen as members will lead The Big Debate in the autumn - the first meeting of the Council - where they will have an opportunity to highlight the issues of greatest importance to them.
Branson said: "As children, we didn't have to tackle the digitalised world but we also didn't have the opportunities that it brings to today's younger generation. We need to embrace technology at every step and make it a force for good as we educate the next generation."
Education Minister Elizabeth Truss said: "Technology is everywhere and it's vital that children understand how to make it work for them. This is why we are introducing rigorous new curricula in maths and computing which will teach children skills like coding and programming along with the maths which underpins computer science. Students need to be confident in both to understand the basis of the modern world and be able to contribute to the future.
"I look forward to seeing the results of the Big Question - who better to ask about what works in the classroom than children themselves."
Mario Di Mascio, executive sales director, Virgin Media Business, added: "Schools across the country are doing a brilliant job in adapting to the digitalisation of our world in classrooms and new teaching methods. Pupils and teachers know better than anyone what is working and where the use of digital technologies can be improved, so it's time that someone stopped to listen and learn from them.
"In the UK, we have a bigger digital economy than any other developed nation and our children will be vital in helping us stay in pole position. We have a duty as a country to help schools achieve great things through technology to make sure we sustain this powerful advantage."
