The #1 influencer for World Economic Forum/United Nations is resurrected in order to promote "#digitalization for all" as the #FourthIndustrialRevolution brings civil society into it's fold. "Access to #digital #education" prioritized over nutrition, water, & sanitation. #WEF

"Amply, an online attendance-taking system [] to track “impact,” is being piloted through #SmartStart a S. #Africa pre-school franchise.

"The tone they use when talking about this lack of “#trust” in the development aid space is steeped in a racist, colonial mindset. The “trust” issue provides cover for their real agenda. Pen & paper methods don’t capture enough #data, & digitized data is what they most desire."

The New York Department of #Education has paid $269M for #iPads to ensure students can transition to online "learning" is response to the the #COVID19 lockdown.

"The iPads are being "loaned" to kids, not given for free. A #tracking #device is installed."

"DOE spokeswoman Miranda Barbot called it a 'cost effective long-term investment in our kids that will be used as an educational tool long after the #COVID crisis passes.'"

"DOE chose #iPads because Apple could commit to producing devices on a large scale in a short time frame."

“Until we have a vaccine or a cure the last thing we want to do is have #schools become a source of recontamination,”

"The Department of #Education shuttered the nation’s largest school system in March and transitioned more than 1 million kids to remote learning."

#COVID19 as the conduit to #4IR #digitalization rollout.

NYC #schools report students that do not participate in online "learning" to "child neglect hotline"

"... Mayor Bill de Blasio declared “flexibility” the key to working w/ families in the struggle to keep students connected w/ #school via #laptops, #tablets, #WiFi & hotspots."

"... in the first weeks of remote learning, which began on March 23, some city #schools staff reported some parents to the state child neglect & abuse hotline after kids failed to sign on for online classes, say attorneys & other advocates who work with #lowincome families."

"Depart. of Education personnel called authorities in their capacity as mandated reporters, obligated by law to alert state officials to signs of child neglect or abuse."

"Investigations by the Administration for Children’s Services ensued, as must happen within 24 hours once calls come in — bringing child protective workers to families’ homes, parents and their advocates say."

"..when he was marked out for 3 days in a row in early April, the #school staff still made a call [] reporting suspected child neglect...

When the investigator showed up [], the woman thought #ACS was coming to take away her child."

#COVID19 as a weapon of compliance.

This thread is breaking my heart.

"Under special #COVID precautions, #ACS said, its child protective workers must still show up at a home to lay eyes on a child but can now see children in doorways and may conduct other parts of the #investigation by #video or #phone."

Joyce McMillan, family advocate [] says mothers she works w/ in #homeless #shelters have been threatened by children’s school staff with a call to the child neglect hotline — even as they struggled to get diapers, much less share internet limited shelter hotspots."

“why are you using #informants if you know [families] can’t comply?”

"If the investigation substantiates child neglect, that mark goes on a parent’s record when seeking employment."

‘This is bad.’ They have the authority to still come in to remove children.”

"Either way, remote learning has a big downside. A study released earlier this week showed a 500 percent jump in the number of kids who looked at screens for more than six hours a day."

This is not a spoof.

From the UNESCO "Global #Education Coalition" (partnered w/ World Bank, #Facebook, #Microsoft, #Google, #BBC, etc.)) resource section:

"Teach your child MIL (Media and Information Literacy)"

#Microsoft joins Global #Education Coalition by Satya Nadella, CEO

Microsoft, April 30, 2020: "It is undeniable that the current global economy has entered the fourth stage of the industrial revolution or Industry 4.0..."

The Global #Education Coalition - announced Mar 26 2020 w/ 90 partners.

Built on premise that virtual "learning" would be long-term. That #lockdowns would not be short-term.

Who will fight for #children against a future of dystopian misery?
