Education in the Digital Era | Recommendation
Reshape the educational system to equip citizens with skills to address challenges caused by digital disruption, including disinformation, digital threats, and ethical challenges. This should be achieved by incentivising youth participation and critical thinking from an early age, equipping them with the tools to recognise threats, including the ability to access and analyse messages in social and mass media and adapt to evolving societies to improve accessibility for quality education.
1.2 Eliminate technological barriers and reduce the digital divide by promoting lifelong learning in digital literacy, financing access to digital devices that facilitate youth education, and increasing digital infrastructure by ensuring governments provide broadband internet connectivity by 2025. This process must be fostered through the participation of G7 members and partner countries in the EDISON Alliance (WEF) 1 Billion Lives challenge. 1.3 To increase youth participation in collaborative processes to tackle societal challenges, educational institutions in G7 members and partner countries should incentivise project- based and collaborative learning in entrepreneurial, financial and sustainability practices, with a focus on internships, international exchange opportunities and civic volunteering. This will empower students to take ownership of real-world problems.
1.1 Strengthen critical thinking, the ability to assess the validity and appropriateness
of statements, to navigate the overwhelming consumption of
information. To foster critical thinking, independent decision-making, and structured argumentation, we ask G7 members and their partners to actively support educators to rework teaching practices to follow OECD principles . Educational practices for children from age six should be updated in formal and non-formal education with an innovative and inclusive approach.
