It surveys across a broad typology of technologies in the information and communication domain, discussing their scope and affordances in traditional and non-traditional learning, curriculum design and instruction. With an overview of trends, benefits, and risks posed by recent technological advances in education, the aim of the chapter is to present a balanced view of the education technology (EdTech) field, highlighting the relevant and necessary concerns within the different spheres of EdTech. Specifically, the chapter discusses critical issues of the digital divide, equitable access to EdTech, privacy and security concerns, the role of teachers and real-world classrooms in an increasingly digitized education setting, and debates concerning the ethical use of artificial intelligence, big data analytics and machine learning. The assessment supports an optimistic but cautionary role for EdTech in addressing education challenges when coupled with continued social and cultural context-driven research. With respect to policy, the assessment concludes that it is worthwhile to encourage innovations and implementations of EdTech globally, accompanied by sensible regulatory guidelines on data sharing, breach of privacy, security, misuse and misrepresentation of claims about what EdTech can and cannot do.

This is because education is one of the vital indicies used in the measurement and categorization of nations as developed or developing. The Universal Basic Education (UBE) Scheme was planned to bring about positive change in the educational system through quality, functional, and free education, but this dream has met bottlenecks, barriers through high enrollment with inadequate classroom space, lack of laboratories, dilapidated infrastructure, employment of unqualified teachers, lack of fund, these have among others hindered the good implementation of the programme. The article assessed the effectiveness and implementation of UBE Policy for Education Development in Nigeria by reviewing past research/literature to determine the efficacy of UBE programme in student enrollment, financing strategies, government and institutional involvement program, school facilities provision and management, and teacher involvement. Conclusion was given based on the literature reviewed. Lastly, the article added to the recommendation that, for effective management and implementation of the UBE, there is need of full participation and cooperation from the public, professionals, and the government.

The experiment involves 12 international masters' students reading the course based on the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), their professor Michael Peters, visiting professor Petar Jandri c, and a mix of senior Chinese and Western scholars. To successfully complete the course, the students were required to produce a 3000-word paper of publishable quality. As part of this writing process we decided to engage in the experiment of collective writing where we aimed to produce a single paper consisting of the abstracts. This collective paper was developed in 7 steps. (1) Students submitted their 250word abstracts. (2) Students were introduced into the methodology of collective writing, and 2 student-editors-Ogunniran Moses Oladele and Benjamin Greenvolunteered to work on the paper. (3) Michael Peters wrote the introduction. (4) Abstracts were expanded to 500 words and integrated into a single document. (5) Petar Jandri c began to edit the paper and write a conclusion. (6) Students presented their abstracts in the class, where Michael Peters and Petar Jandri c provided direct feedback. (6) Revised abstracts were again integrated into a single document by student editors, and proofread / copy-edited in several exchanges with the instructors (7) The paper was subject to the process of open review, and the reviewer's comments were included in the paper. Resulting from months of collective work, the final paper provides a wide range of views ad perspectives to the question of education as a part of the BRI initiative.

The available classrooms are either dilapidated, uncompleted or with dusty floors that show holes of rodents and ant lion larvae. The study was a descriptive survey design of ex-post facto type. The population for the study was all principals and teachers. The Pearson Product Moment Correlation was used to test hypotheses at 0.05 level of significant. However, it was shown that both school facilities were not statistically significant in relating to graduates from upper basic education. Conclusions were made that School facilities are very strong predictors of enrollment into JSS1. There are supply of school facilities for UBE implementation but not adequate.

Generally, the article accessed the impact of these IOs in higher education (HE) system of Nigerian and Cambodia. The major key goals of IO in both nations is to develop education policy, enhance quality of HE, prepare equity of accessing for HE, provide ideas of conducting researches, and provide plenty scholarship opportunities, but for several years, this goals are yet to be accomplished in both nations. In Nigeria context, the major reason for the frequent academic and non-academic strike as result of inadequate funding. While in Cambodia context, the major course of HE slow growth, poor infrastructure, and inadequate manpower, unemployment is as a result of weak intervention of IO in HE. Using secondary data, the paper reviews literatures in accessing the role of IO in financing HE system of both countries. The paper ended with recommendations that all IO should collaborate with the World Bank to impact HE in both countries. We also suggested that more attention should be withdrawn from basic education to HE into other to enhance rapid development of human capital.

Variables and indicators of resilient leadership were reviewed. It also focuses on related models and theories under resilient leadership. Three models of resilient leadership: the compensatory model, challenge model, and the protective factor model were examined. Constructivist self-determination theory serves as a guiding principle for this paper. This theory was derived from social learning theory, which integrates psychoanalytic theory, constructivist thinking, and cognitive development theory.
