2024 GEM Youth Report- Technology In Education: A tool On Our Terms!

Listen to voices of youth from around the world on the use of technology in education.

The 2024 Youth Report on technology in education is the result of an extensive consultation process, in partnership with UNESCO and Restless Development, involving +1500 youth and students across 8 regions from our Youth Collective Education Chapter. The consultations invited participants to reflect on the key challenges and opportunities for the use of technology in education in their regions, through the lenses of the recommendations in the global 2023 Global Education Monitoring Report on technology in education: Technology on our terms. The discussions centred on the need for the use of technology in education to be appropriate for national and local contexts and to be equitable and leave no one behind. These discussions were guided by the recommendations from the 2023 Global Education Monitoring Report on Technology in Education: Technology on Our Terms

The report advocates for decisions about technology in education to put learners first—ensuring its use is effective, appropriate, equitable, evidence-based and sustainable. Through this collaborative effort, young people have outlined their vision and painted a clear picture of what “technology on our terms” should look like.

In the report, young people worldwide are advocating for technology that enhances, not controls, the learning experience.
