Digital technologies and AI are disrupting the way people live, work, and learn. At the same time, education systems need to become both a rapid producer and an avid consumer of digital and data skills at scale. There are enormous opportunities in using digital solutions to enhance teaching and learning, and to revolutionize educational processes. The related investment needs are substantial, evidence of effectiveness at scale is scarce and there are significant risks, both known and emerging.

Join us for a discussion on how countries can effectively navigate digital transitions in education at scale and systemically to achieve equitable, relevant, and resilient learning for all. Panelists will explore pioneering strategies, implementation challenges and lessons learnt, and the pathway forward. The report, Digital Pathways for Education: Enabling Greater Impact for All, seeks to offer a strategic approach to policymakers undertaking digital transformation reforms in education and skills development systems, with a focus on ‘how.’
