Digital Technology for Inclusive and Equitable Quality Education

One of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by the United Nations is Quality Education, specifically aiming to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all (SDG 4). This goal emphasizes the provision of education that is accessible, fair, and of high quality to individuals regardless of their background or circumstances. Innovative technologies, such as Generative Al, offer new prospects for enhancing both the access to and quality of education. However, they also introduce new challenges that could potentially have negative impacts. This panel aims to provide a platform for sharing international perspectives, with panellists from different countries, and for exchanging ideas, experiences, and practices towards achieving SDG 4. The discussion will focus on three main areas: 1) global challenges in achieving inclusive and equitable quality education; 2) good practices in promoting inclusive and equitable education with digital technology; 3) the impact of innovative technologies, such as Generative Al in promoting access to quality education. The goal of this panel is to promote research in inclusive and equitable education within APSCE by highlighting the significance of digital technology as a catalyst for change and exploring strategies to realize quality education for all.
