ONLINE UNIVERSITY
The DPoA proposes the creation of an online university dedicated to providing graduate and post-graduate studies in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) in LDCs and recently graduated countries. Online learning has the potential to democratize access to education around the world and keep education systems running even during global crises. Thus, the online university will utilize the potential of digitalization to advance quality education in the LDCs, bridging global educational gaps and overcoming some of the challenges to provide quality education to LDCs and beyond. The goal of the university is to achieve a 50/50 gender balance at all levels while guaranteeing special access for the poorest people and those in vulnerable situations.

HOW?
- By filling gaps in access to quality education, access, research and development, specialized teachers, and physical infrastructure in a more cost-effective manner.
- By developing online educational infrastructure to reduce accessibility gaps in high-level STEM education in hard-to-reach areas.
- By assisting in course design and curriculum development for technology-enabled education and learning with high academic excellence, global recognition, and accreditation to international standards.
OTHER SDGs BENEFITED
Improving the skills of youth in the LDCs provides better prospects for future participation in labour markets. offers greater opportunities to escape poverty and is vital to achieve progress in other sustainable development goals. Easier access to high-level studies will encourage creative and technological innovations, which in turn will be able to increase productivity and facilitate long-term sustained economic growth. Likewise, the provision of digital education services will aid in reducing global educational disparities and gender inequalities in access to education. The DPoA requests the Secretary- General to submit a report exploring the modalities, resource requirements, accreditation and sustainable funding sources to the General Assembly at its seventy-eighth session. This deliverable opens tremendous opportunities for academic cooperation to advance mutual recognition of standards and accreditation systems.
