he youth edition of the 2023 GEM Report on technology in education, released last week during Digital Learning Week in Paris, calls for governments to ensure that decisions about technology in education place learners’ best interests at the center.  

The event brought together young people from Canada, Denmark, France, South Sudan, Saudi Arabia and Zimbabwe to discuss what technology in their terms would look like. Moderated by Restless Development and with a keynote presentation from Rémy Buisine from Brut., a French online news platform  targeting young people, the event concluded with a call to action from the Executive Director of the Global Student Forum inviting youth and students to support the campaign #TechOnOurTerms.
