The Center of Urban and Regional Planning for Postgraduate Studies at the University of Baghdad discussed a master’s thesis entitled (Planning Educational Services in light of the digital impact – a case study of Baghdad – Cairo district), under the supervision of Assistant Professor Dr. Nadia Abdel Majeed Al Salam.
The thesis aimed to determine the impact of the digital revolution and the challenges of the modern era on planning the educational system’s services.
The research tackled education, historical sequence, and the emergence and development of educational services, and discussed the challenges it faces and their relationship to the digital revolution by addressing the concept of that revolution and its mechanisms, leading to targeting an urban entity familiar with all social, technological, environmental, and economic transformations.
The thesis concluded that this digital revolution has greatly affected the educational system. Developments in information and communications technology have led to the emergence of numerous new methods and approaches that have made the educational system flexible in nature and not strictly bound to a specific time and place. Technological development has led to the adoption of education centered around the student and the need to strive to provide him/her with lifelong learning skills through interaction, intellectual analysis, innovation and creativity, as the community school came as a place-based civilized entity that seeks to establish partnerships with the local community and stakeholders to meet the requirements and challenges facing education.
