AI and digital tools are transforming education — but they also bring dilemmas: how to ensure technology serves learning, how to protect well-being, and how to keep the human connection at the center.
No teacher should face these challenges alone. Collaboration is vital — from initial training to lifelong learning. By co-designing lessons, mentoring peers, and building professional communities, teachers can turn technology into meaningful learning.
Yet too many teachers lack access to training and continuing development. This leaves them isolated just when cooperation matters most. UNESCO works with countries to change this, so teachers can lead the digital transformation together — and ensure education remains human at its core.

Webinar: Beyond GDP Learning Tool
As the push intensifies for countries to go “beyond GDP” when measuring progress, IISD and partners will launch an e-course to explore the alternatives.
The limitations of GDP as a metric of prosperity and economic success are well documented. It fails to measure the environmental impacts of economic activity. It is unable to measure work and labour that isn’t conducted through a market transaction. It prioritizes questions of income and expenditure over those of well-being.
The webinar will also launch a new learning tool. IISD has developed an e-course that presents different measures for assessing national progress, which address sustainability concerns better than GDP does. The e-course is designed in four modules, introducing the limitations of GDP, an overview of alternative and complementary measures to GDP, and an in-depth dive into the Comprehensive Wealth Index components and their policy implications. It is a self-paced course that takes about 4 hours to complete, and guides learners through this content with interactive questions and scenarios.
Designed for policymakers and economics students alike, the Beyond GDP Learning Tool offers practical guidance on using non-GDP indicators to gauge progress. To join the first cohort of learners on the course, we recommend attending this webinar.
