Summary/Abstract: The idea of “Education for All” is already explained in detail in the corresponding UNESCO World Declaration in the form of a “Framework for Action to Meet Basic Learning Needs” in 1990. Interestingly, challenges for global access to education are being worked out that are still relevant today: Universalising access and promoting equity, focusing on leaning acquisition, broadening the means and scope of basic education, enhancing the environment of learning, strengthening partnerships. Since then, many things have been turned to good, much remains to be done. However, today's omnipresent digitization offers completely new opportunities to live up to this vision. Serious changes and disruptive innovations are pushed by digital transformations. (UNESCO, 1990)
