Consultation on governance, procurement and influence for the 2023 GEM Report convened by NORRAG
This closed consultation on the 2023 GEM Report, convened by will focus on the role, impact and influence of corporations and philanthropies in the development of education technology. It will look into issues related to procurement, governance, and influence, outlining the processes by which governments roll-out technology in education systems and in classrooms.
The consultation will focus on the power and influence of technology corporations and technology philanthropists, and of the platforms and products they offer – and potential implications for education governance and systems of public education. As such, it will explore the linkages between the 2021/2 GEM Report on non-state actors and education and the 2023 GEM Report on technology and education.
The consultation will be virtual and will last 2 hours. It will include a presentation of the and the work of NORRAG on technology and education followed by two panel discussions, one focusing on governance and procurement and a second one focusing on influence. Following this panel introduction, all participants will be invited to share their thoughts during a workshop. We will use the tool as an online notice board to gather feedback and comments from the audience. These are written and anonymous (unless you write your name) points of feedback.
A short output report summarizing the key contributions that may inform the development of the 2023 GEM Report will be published after the event.
