A/HRC/47/32: Right to education: the cultural dimensions of the right to
education, or the right to education as a cultural right Report of the Special
Rapporteur on the right to education


SUMMARY

In this report, the Special Rapporteur on the right to education addresses the
risks and opportunities of the digitalization of education for the right to
education.

She calls for discussions relating to the introduction of digital technologies
in education to be framed around the right of every person to public, free,
quality education and the commitments of States in this regard both under
international human rights law and Sustainable Development Goal 4.

In particular, the implementation of the right to education must respond to the
needs of all persons to access, master and use technology as an empowering tool
for being active members of society.

The digitalization of education should be geared towards a better implementation
of the right to education for all, where it is demonstrated that it brings a
significant added value. In this regard, it is important to understand the
profit-driven agenda of digital technology lobbyists and companies. In addition,
the digitalization of education should not increase inequalities and benefit
already privileged segments of societies only, nor lead to violations of other
human rights within education, in particular the right to privacy.


METHODOLOGY

The Special Rapporteur organized, in cooperation with the Network for
international policies and cooperation in education and training from the Geneva
Graduate Institute (NORRAG), six online experts’ meetings to discuss various
aspects of the impact of the digitalization of education on the right to
education. Experts from various backgrounds and parts of the world, including
from UNESCO, participated in these meetings.

 1. The role of technology in face-to-face and/or distance education. 6 May 2021
 2. The health impacts of the digitalization of education. 3 June 2021
 3. Citizenship: what should be the scope of a true digital education? 5 July
    2021
 4. Data and the digitalization of education: datafication, evaluation and the
    issue of surveillance. 14 September 2021
 5. Privatisation and the digitalisation of education. 12 October 2021
 6. Diversity and the digitalisation of education. 9 November 2021
