A/HRC/44/39 sustainability of economic and financial models behind education systems, including the consequences of poorly funding public educational institutions; scrutiny of the role of private actors in education; an evaluation of the adequacy of social protection provided for education workers, including in the private sector; and scrutiny of the lack of cooperation between State administrations, educational institutions, teachers, learners, parents and communities. Furthermore, the Special Rapporteur stresses that the deployment of online distance learning (together with radio and television), should be seen only as a temporary solution aimed at addressing a crisis. The digitization of education should never replace on-site schooling with teachers, and the massive arrival of private actors through digital technology should be considered as a major danger for education systems and the right to education for all in the long term. A thorough debate needs to take place on the place that should be given to such learning in the future, keeping in mind not only possible opportunities but also the deleterious effect screens have on children and youth, including their right to health and education. 2
