About UNESCO and its mobile learning programme
UNESCO is the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. It seeks to build peace through international cooperation in Education, the Sciences and Culture. UNESCO's programmes contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals defined in Agenda 2030, adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2015.
UNESCO’s mobile learning programme examines the ways connected, easily portable and increasingly affordable information and communication technology can improve education and accelerate the implementation of the Sustainable Development Agenda.
In the past decade, mobile technology has reached the furthest corners of the planet, opening new opportunities for teaching and learning, including in communities where traditional educational services are scarce.
UNESCO works to help governments understand and harness the power of this technology to make learning more inclusive, more accessible and more equitable across life. It puts forward policy recommendations and shares best practices, drawing on the careful analysis of mobile learning initiatives implemented around the world.
