The new Global Education Monitoring Report which this year focuses on technology is now available. There are often bitter divisions in how the role of technology is viewed. These divisions are widening as the technology is evolving at breakneck speed. The 2023 GEM Report explores these debates, examining education challenges to which appropriate use of technology can offer solutions (access, equity and inclusion; quality; technology advancement; system management), while recognizing that many solutions proposed may also be detrimental. The report also explores three system-wide conditions (access to technology, governance regulation, and teacher preparation) that need to be met for any technology in education to reach its full potential. The report was launched on July 26 and a recording of the global launch event can be watched here. In addition, a south-south dialogue between Ministers of education in Latin America and Africa is available here.
