"Lifelong learning" through technology
One contemporary focus in educational policy is the integration of technology in classrooms to enhance learning and engagement. A quote from UNESCO's 2021 report emphasizes this need: “It’s time to transform education...We must ensure the right to lifelong learning by providing all learners the knowledge and skills they need to realize their full potential and live with dignity.” This message reflects the urgency of adapting education to modern challenges like the digital revolution and growing global inequalities [oai_citation:3,The turning point: Why we must transform education now | UNESCO](https://www.unesco.org/en/articles/turning-point-why-we-must-transform-education-now). The substance of this text highlights a commitment to inclusive education that leverages technology, aiming to address learning gaps exacerbated by events like the COVID-19 pandemic. The goal is not just to provide access to digital tools, but to foster environments where technology aids in meaningful learning experiences. This aligns with a transformative approach that seeks to adapt teaching methods to meet the needs of diverse learners [oai_citation:2,Realizing the promise: How can education technology improve learning for all?](https://www.brookings.edu/articles/realizing-the-promise-how-can-education-technology-improve-learning-for-all/). A standout idea here is the emphasis on "lifelong learning" through technology—not merely adding devices into classrooms, but creating a new educational framework where learning becomes a continuous, adaptive process. This approach resonates with the principles of technology-mediated learning, which positions itself between traditional didactic methods and more transformative practices by using digital tools to engage and empower students throughout their educational journey [oai_citation:1,20 Popular Technology in Education Quotes – EdTechReview](https://www.edtechreview.in/news/technology-in-education-quotes/).
