Digital Learning Initiatives

We must harness the power of the digital revolution to ensure quality education is provided as a public good and a human right, with a particular focus on the most marginalised. This has been affirmed by the Secretary General’s Our Common Agenda, the United Nations Secretary-General’s Roadmap for Digital Cooperation, the Sustainable Development Agenda, the Transforming Education Summit process, the Global RewirEd Declaration on Connectivity for Education, and the International Commission on the Futures of Education.

We must marshal the strengths of digital technology to advance our national and international aspirations for education and lifelong learning. Such action will help catalyze beneficial transformations to various aspects of education, including pedagogy, curriculum, assessment, social caring and the organization of learning, both in and outside of formal educational institutions. It will further help improve student learning outcomes, thereby better ensuring that all those who access education, whether children, youth, or adults, acquire foundational literacy skills, develop knowledge and competencies relevant to their lives and livelihoods, and contribute to more sustainable futures.
