Topic: Legal Frameworks Governing Digital Learning and its Relation to Educational Inequity
Digital literacy and training impose significant barriers to effective digital learning. Students and educators in underserved communities often receive inadequate and faulty resources necessary for better understanding our digital world. A UNESCO report highlights that digital literacy is essential for students to fully engage with digital learning and for teachers to effectively integrate technology into their teaching practices. Effective training programs for teachers and digital literacy initiatives for students are essential to bridge this gap and ensure equitable access to digital education. Delegates in the Legal Committee will proactively work toward legal global solutions in spreading digital learning and reducing educational inequity.
