Information and communications technologies have the potential to provide new solutions to development challenges, particularly in the context of globalization, and can foster economic growth, competitiveness, access to information and knowledge, poverty eradication, and social inclusion that will help to expedite the integration of all countries, especially developing countries, in particular the least developed countries, into the global economy. In this podcast, we find out how Indigenous Peoples fit into this picture.

On the International Day of Education 2026, we recognize that Indigenous children carry generations of knowledge, language, and resilience into every classroom. Yet too many still face barriers to quality, culturally respectful education that honors who they are and where they come from. When education systems value Indigenous identities, languages, and ways of learning, children don’t have to choose between success and belonging. Investing in Indigenous children’s education is not just about access-it’s about justice, dignity, and a shared future rooted in respect.
