As the COVID-19 pandemic has shown, technology can be a powerful tool to facilitate access, quality, and innovation in education, but it can also pose significant challenges and risks, such as digital divide, cyberbullying, privacy, and ethical issues.

According to the World Bank, technology can support education in four main ways: (1) expanding access and inclusion; (2) improving teaching and learning processes; (3) strengthening education system management; and (4) fostering skills for the digital economy 1.

Some of the benefits of technology for education include:

Enabling personalized and adaptive learning that meets the diverse needs and preferences of learners
Providing interactive and engaging learning experiences that foster motivation, collaboration, and creativity
Enhancing teacher professional development and support through online platforms and communities of practice
Improving data collection and analysis for evidence-based decisionmaking and accountability
Developing digital literacy and competencies that are essential for the 21st century workforce and society
Some of the challenges of technology for education include:

Ensuring equitable and affordable access to quality digital devices, infrastructure, and content for all learners and teachers
Protecting the safety, security, and well-being of learners and teachers from online harms and threats
Promoting the ethical and responsible use of technology that respects human rights and values
Balancing the role of technology with the human and social aspects of education
Evaluating the impact and effectiveness of technology for education
