Abstract

The full impact of the 2020 pandemic is still emerging. Until this event, waves of ‘digital disruption’ also delivered widespread economic and social benefit. With Covid-19, we have been reminded that nature can be more disruptive. How should we respond? Harnessing digital technology for ‘emergency remote education’ has been an effective response for some; however, the gap of basic access to educational services has widened. We would not want to accept this as the ‘new normal’ and yet, returning to what was normal was not entirely satisfactory. Moreover, what happens if the next pandemic is digital, triggered by cyberwarfare? Meanwhile, innovation continues with advances in artificial intelligence, deployment of ‘smart’ systems, and the emergence of Industry 4.0. This paper considers these developments and questions arising such as, what choices must we make to recalibrate our education systems in ways to that align with the sustainable development goals articulated by UNESCO?
