Traditionally education is centered on sources such as schools, teachers and print media. The learners reached the information sources by enrolling with schools, teachers and libraries. Prior to the digital era, information was not accessible by the majority of people, and even those accessed were unable to obtain current information with respect to today's context. The modern society wants to know the information as it happens and when it happens, and the world is moving from an information society to a knowledge society. Thus education is given the highest priority and brainpower is becoming the most valuable asset of an organisation. Advances in digital technology have opened up many avenues of learning. Technology has made information accessible / transmittable from anywhere and by / to all groups of people. The higher education landscape is changing rapidly, challenging academic professionals to think critically about their roles in the field.

This thesis examines the newfound digital empowerment of disadvantaged youth in India. Currently, the digital divide prevents many of the poor in India from participating as equals within Indian society. Throughout India, several programs meant to foster economic development through digital literacy work to bridge the digital divide. Looking at the Pratham InfoTech Foundation as my prime example, I argue that these purely economic programs are helping to advance equality in India but this is being achieved through digital empowerment and not with economic development. The ability of the poor to now harness the power of technology, especially through the Internet and social media, means that the digital realm is no longer the exclusive domain of the urban elite. Insight into how this may impact Indian society may be gained from exploring the ways in which the urban elite use digital media today. As the poor become more adept at utilizing digital resources to suit their own needs, I conclude that this newfound digital equality will eventually translate into greater equality and participation within Indian public life.

We live in a society largely driven by science and technology. As more scientific and technological issues dominate public debates at national and international levels, it is important to ensure that our students become global citizens who are scientifically literate. However, many students have poor attitudes and low engagement levels toward the learning of science. This book puts forward an argument that we should capitalise on the affordances that digital technologies offer in enabling better science learning, the general technological interest and knowledge of young people and the motivating influence of technology for learning, to foster the development of scientific literacy in students.

This book addresses the changes in education practices, especially basic education, necessitated by the global challenges of climate change and sustainable development and in a context characterized by increasing poverty and inequality, migration and refugees. Written by a range of international scholars, scientists and grassroots practitioners from Africa, Latin America, Asia (India, China, Malaysia) and Europe, the individual contributions focus on education policies and child development in various social contexts. Case-based experiences from both developed and developing countries provide inspiration and shed new light on the fundamental changes needed to adapt existing school systems and teacher training to face the challenges of the future. In this regard, the need to empower children themselves is emphasized. All contributions are based on a Workshop hosted in November 2015 by the Pontifical Academy of Sciences at the Vatican entitled “Children and Sustainable Development: A Challenge for Education” and follow three other significant events on sustainable development in 2015, namely the publication of Laudato Si’, the Encyclical Letter from Pope Francis, the release of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and the COP21 Conference in Paris.
