Abstract

In recent decades, the widespread phenomenon of global digital transformation has instigated substantial alterations within various dimensions of human life, prominently among them being the realm of education. As society experiences an acceleration in the pace of life and the growing intricacies of social processes, it becomes indispensable to scrutinize the evolving landscape of human rights protection. This article undertakes a rigorous examination of the societal repercussions of digitalization on the right to education, with a particular focus on the implications for broader society. While the digital era holds the promise of augmenting educational accessibility, critical inquiries arise regarding its congruence with fundamental human rights principles. This study methodically dissects the societal ramifications of digitalization, elucidating both the opportunities and challenges it presents. Its primary objective is to provide a scientifically-grounded analysis that extends beyond the individual level, aiming to inform evidence-based strategies and policies conducive to fostering a more inclusive and equitable digital future within the broader societal context. This research underscores the vital importance of upholding human rights amidst the evolving societal landscapes shaped by the digital age.
