Imagine reclaiming a whole day of your work week. That’s exactly what educators at St Francis College experienced during their Microsoft 365 Copilot trial, with participants reporting an average time savings of 9.3 hours weekly<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time savings is especially significant in a profession where burnout is all too common. As St Francis College Principal John Marinucci observed, Copilot transforms education by expediting those administrative tasks that often overwhelm educators. The result? Teachers have more energy and time to focus on what brought them to education in the first place\u2014helping students learn and grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
