Citing evidence of a connection between excessive mobile phone usage and diminished educational outcomes, UNESCO highlighted the negative impact of prolonged screen time on children's emotional well-being.
The report cautioned against an uncritical adoption of digital technology in education and emphasized the importance of considering the "social dimension of education." While acknowledging the vast potential of the digital revolution, the agency stressed that a human-centered approach to education should always take precedence over technology-centered learning. The report warned against viewing technology as a panacea and emphasized that progress should be evaluated based on its benefits to students and teachers rather than simply on what can be technologically achieved.
