- Digital Natives are the future, but how future-ready are digital natives?
- Does today’s formal education provide young people with the required skills and competencies for an increasingly digital world?
- Is technology going to amplify digital divides rather than closing them?
- What is the importance of appropriate tech and data governance policies in fostering trust and driving better engagement?
