UNESCO, UNICEF and ITU Charter for Public Digital Learning Platforms
Seven principles to steer the development of public digital learning platforms
Highlights
Education is a fundamental human right and a public good. As a human right, education must be free, universal, non-discriminatory, and directed towards the full development of individuals and their societies. As a public good, education must serve public purposes, be organized in public spaces, and be accountable to the public. In a digital and AI age, education is increasingly supported and complemented in digital environments. This Charter calls on governments to be attentive to these digital environments. It encourages them to establish, improve, and sustain digital learning platforms that uphold and support education as a human right and a public good, in concert with schools and other essential institutions and infrastructures dedicated to education.
