for Education

EdTech Hub, UNESCO, AT4 Members

The meeting is a deep dive into the recommendation of the Digital Learning

TES background paper on the need for free, high quality digital learning

resources. The main objective of the meeting is to determine the way forward

for a ‘Coalition for Action’ on Digital Public Resources for Education: moving

from policy and plans to implementation, and addressing key bottlenecks that

have hindered progress thus far.

This meeting is a deep dive into the recommendation of the Digital Learning

TES background paper on the need for free, high quality digital learning

resources. The main objective of the meeting is to determine the way forward

for a ‘Coalition for Action’ on Digital Public Resources for Education, moving

from policy and plans to implementation, and addressing key bottlenecks that

have hindered progress thus far. Digital technologies in education can

contribute to wider systemic efforts to improve learning for all and help address

the learning crisis, which has been greatly exacerbated by the pandemic.

Digital public resources for education in particular can decrease the cost of

education, and catalyse more equitable, collaborative and effective approaches

to teaching and learning. However, while much progress has been made over

the past 20 years towards advancing this agenda, huge gaps remain - for

example, the dearth of freely accessible, public educational resources such as

reading books or videos in most of the world’s languages, and tools which

promote more active and collaborative teaching, learning and problem-solving.

Objectives

Establish a Coalition for Action on Digital Public Resources for Education,

to move from policy to action and implementation, and address the key

bottlenecks that have hindered progress. This Coalition will include

Champion Countries, as well as international organisations and experts

working in this area.

Reflect on progress to date, and discuss how the key bottlenecks can be

addressed. This would build upon previous work including the international

standard-setting instruments adopted by UN agencies and Member States.

Identify a set of realistic goals for Digital Public Resources. How can we

collaborate to address the gap in availability of openly licensed, high

quality literacy, numeracy and science resources across different

languages, as well as collaborative learning and teaching tools?
