Farida Shaheed, UN special rapporteur on the right to education

Brings strong evidence of the detrimental impact of the digitalization of education on the right to education. Its forceful voice amplifies the chorus of voices opposing the digitalization of education as a replacement to on-site schooling with teachers.

Justin Reich, professor and author

This book offers an important argument that educational technology was a force multiplier for inequality during the pandemic. �� It will take many years to reckon with the consequences of the pandemic and this work will be essential in this endeavour.

Beeban Kidron, member of the House of Lords and chair of 5Rights Foundation

Thoughtful, fair and frightening, this is a book that exposes the folly of outsourcing education provision on the shiny �C and unsupported �C promises of new technology rather than investing in the long-term health of buildings, teachers and families.

Dan Wagner, professor and author

Like the best histories, 'An Ed-Tech Tragedy?' shows us how we have arrived at our present moment, and how we can learn lessons from our past to achieve more equitable and inclusive futures.

Sonia Livingstone, professor and leader of the UK Digital Futures Commission

It is indeed a tragedy that during a global emergency, big tech chose profit over children��s best interests and that governments failed in their commitment to human rights. This timely book sets out a clear path to avoid such problems in the future.

Neil Selwyn, professor and author

This unflinching analysis should be read by policymakers, IT executives and developers, school leaders, teachers, parents and anyone else in a position to ensure that we do not find ourselves enduring the same mistakes again.

Michael Trucano, global lead for innovation in education at the World Bank

While technologies new and old certainly have important roles to play in supporting teaching and learning, 'An Ed-Tech Tragedy?' reminds us that education remains a fundamentally human endeavour.

Halla Holmarsdottir, president of the Comparative & International Education Society

Points us towards more equitable and desirable paths ahead for digital learning.

Setting the scene

Organization

An Ed-Tech Tragedy? borrows the structure of a theatrical play to document and analyse the impacts and repercussions of the pivot from school-based education to remote distance learning with technology.

Act 1 details the ambition that often marked the initial transition from schools to ed-tech as the pandemic took hold.
Act 2 explains the many ways the promises of ed-tech were challenged when technology was deployed globally as a primary solution to maintain education during widespread and prolonged school closures. It reveals the harm and unintended consequences that resulted from endeavours to transition from in-person and school-based education to technology-reliant distance learning.
The Inter-Act questions dominant narratives emerging from the technology-centric experiences of the pandemic period.
Act 3 puts forward principles and recommendations to guide future efforts to leverage technology for education, while keeping schools and humans at the centre of teaching and learning.
