In the recent past, the world has experienced unprecedented economic growth. Indicatively, in the last 50 years, the global GDP has increased six times. However, the relevant achievements have been made with a strong negative environmental and social impact which threatens social stability and growth prospects. The above impact, which experts say is the current pandemic of the COVID-19 corona, imposes significant and aggressive restrictions on growth and development prospects.
Sustainable Development Goals are out of the question, people around the world are taking to the streets to protest against rising living costs and real injustice or how they perceive it. Focusing only on development, regardless of the real cost and consequences, leads to climate change, loss of confidence in institutions, and a lack of confidence in the future.
With the advent of the Covid-19, everything was overturned. So let's see how the previous human data became demanded. So our data. Or rather, what we take for granted for an inexplicable reason. What we were excited about when we got them or when they were generously given to us, but then became part of our daily lives. They got involved with our obligations, hid behind our accounts, and lost their glamor.
And so as we run at a crazy pace to catch up, it doesn't even cross our busy minds that we can lose any of our data at any time. Because with all this crisis, it's not hard to be left without a job all of a sudden. Because one moment is enough for our world to turn around and we are in the hospital.
Because life is the biggest school, and its exercises are infinitely more difficult than the ones that forced us in our student years. Because this life has no data but only questions. Our job, our people, our health, everything is required!
So immediate action can be taken, as our planet is borrowing from our descendants, so taking action by all actors in society needs special attention.
A fundamental measure is the consolidation of healthy lifelong learning, which will be accessible to all societies, whether they are developed and have the most futuristic means, or whether they are developing and their technology is not so advanced.
So after this outbreak of the virus, states need to redefine more things in terms of simplicity and quality of life. This, after all, is achieved by a deep education, as it is strengthened in this way:
• The spiritual development of the individual and leads him to the necessary maturation,
• The development of political consciousness,
• The stabilization of the individual's moral background and
• The cultivation of the aesthetic and mental sense of the individual.
This mentality will create future engineers who can work globally and with the skills and understanding to address the challenges of global poverty. All this process must be done through the use of technology accessible to all.
Because the mobile phone, even in developing ones, is one of the first materials that every person aims at, information and communication should be direct and continuous, either through simple messages or through the use of various new innovative methods, such as educational platforms. Over the past decade, mobile technology has reached the most remote corners of the globe, opening up new opportunities for teaching and learning, including in communities where traditional educational services are rare.
As human beings, we are in a position to manage many things, so we need to be in a constant state of learning, first with ourselves and then with the prevailing social and evolutionary conditions.
Thus, the “A World Away” challenge can be linked to other challenges to make optimal preparation for the remote. So we can say that these two challenges could work together closely, linking this to the goals of sustainable development.
Using the UNESCO mobile learning program as an idea, we can build a learning ΙΤ MOBILE platform that will aim at three aspects of man to become strong again and able to chart new horizons.
We need to look at ways in which easily portable and increasingly accessible information and communication technologies can improve education and accelerate the implementation of the sustainable development program. Promote policy recommendations and share best practices, drawing on careful analysis of new mobile learning initiatives.
The absence of books - either in developed or developing countries - is an obstacle to literacy. Despite the developments in the publications, the books remain inaccessible to a large number of people. A study in 16 sub-Saharan African countries found that the majority of primary schools have few or no books. This lack of text slows down the acquisition of reading and then learning in all school subjects.
Book shortages affect middle-income countries and the rich as well as developing countries. In South Africa, 51% of households do not have leisure books and only 7% of schools have libraries. In poor neighborhoods in the United States, the ratio of children to books is 300 to 1. Although many parts of the world are poor in books, these same places are increasingly rich in mobile phones. Today, the United Nations estimates that 6 billion people have access to a mobile phone that operates and more than 90% of the population is covered by a mobile phone network.
The suggested learning triptych is:
1. "Mobile learning for our self": each person must understand significantly the human condition and what he needs to seek from life and everyday life.
2. "Mobile learning for the environment": every person, and everyone en masse, need to redefine the way we deal with the environment, improve and aim at basic things without being a sign of greed. There should also be an alternative redefinition at the level of environmental protection, and hygiene improvement not only in countries with a high standard of living but also in countries where the concept of basic requirements is non-existent!
3. "Mobile learning for development education": education and technology are running, so what we need to do is keep up to date and up to date, so that we can do our best for each case.
For these reasons, we need to shed light on strategies for expanding mobile reading and, consequently, the educational and socio-economic benefits associated with increased reading.
This whole logical and holistic approach is also meant to help the people of space, as they do not have space and time to understand evolutionary progress, so we must contribute to their training so that it can help them as soon as possible. Their integration into our terrestrial world through the Mobile - (Space) Learning Platform. These platforms can be implemented to make the future better.
