🧠 At our #WSIS20 session masterfully moderated by @TimUnwin, powerful brainstorming led to 5 urgent priorities for making digital tech truly inclusive.
The session closed with a shared commitment:
👉 Do things differently — for the poorest and most marginalised.
For #YouthIGF, that means building sustainable skills modules so young people can propose and lead real solutions — not just show up for visibility. @WSISprocess #globalyouthigf @tlamanauskas
It’s time to move from talk to action.

Despite efforts to improve access to education, 251M children & youth remain out of school, with only a 1% reduction since 2015.
This highlights the urgent need for targeted actions to ensure #EducationForAll.

“Technology cannot replace a teacher, but in the hands of a teacher it can work miracles”
On #WorldTeachersDay, let's remember that strong leadership empowers others. With only 43% of teachers feeling prepared to use tech, effective school leaders are key.
