Issues and challenges to the right to education in the digital age 2016, para. 131
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Civil society organizations and the intellectual community, as well as students, parents and community associations, should expose the negative effects of digital technologies on the right to education, underlining, in particular, the essential objectives laid down in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and international human rights conventions. They should voice their concerns about the need to safeguard human values in respect of the right to education in the face of digital modes of education. Their advocacy work to foster social justice and equity is valuable in countering market-based approaches promoting the use of technology in education. Research, events and expert consultations on the right to education in the digital age should be encouraged and supported.
