UNESCO is supporting the Government of the Maldives in their review of Maldives’ Information and Communication Technology in Education Master Plan 2 for 2021-2024 and the creation of the next iteration of their national digital learning policy. The initiative utilized multiple platforms, including Public Service Media’s ‘YES TV’, Google Classroom, YouTube, and ‘TED-Ed’, to deliver lessons. The Satellite School initiative launched in 2022 enabled access to education to the students in remote island schools.
The use of digital learning in the Maldives offers a lifeline for all citizens to access equitable, inclusive and quality education. UNESCO’s continued support will equip the Maldives with the building blocks to transform its education through the integration of technology in a learner-centered lifelong learning approach for all.
