Outdated digital Skills (Knowledge Building Channel of the Hub, 29.04.2026)

Join the debate: Are outdated digital skills a dealbreaker for educators?

Should professional development in digital skills be mandatory, or could requiring it undermine educators’ professional autonomy?

The motion will be:

This House believes that educators who do not regularly update their digital skills should not be allowed to continue teaching.
