Spotlight Session: No One Left Behind: Bridging Digital Divides and Education Inequities
Technology enables connection, education, health, and economic growth—but not for everyone. The divide between those who have access to technology and quality education and those who don’t remains a global challenge and has potential to widen further with increasing natural disasters and conflicts, and as advances in AI impact workforces around the globe. Extending access to technology and digital upskilling on the continent of Africa, where a rapidly growing youth population must be able to participate fully in the economy and society, is particularly urgent. This session will explore innovative solutions and strategies for bridging the digital divide and addressing education inequities, especially in underserved communities. Addressing these challenges will require concerted efforts from governments, businesses, non-profit organizations, and communities, so we can all reap the benefits of unlocking technology’s full potential to empower individuals, reduce poverty, promote social inclusion, and foster innovation.

Children & Youth Affairs Minister James Reilly publishes major report on childcare
Minister Reilly with Kaya Scanlon (2) from Sligo
Minister for Children and Youth Affairs James Reilly has today published a major report which proposes how best to invest in childcare services over the coming years.
The report puts forward options to enhance affordability for parents, improve the quality of services and outcomes for children, and promote greater accessibility in the sector.
Commenting on the report, Minister Reilly said:
Affordability, quality and accessibility are the big concerns for us all. This document offers a clear vision for future investment in early years and school-age services. It represents the most ambitious, detailed and costed plan for childcare ever produced by Government, and it follows a period of very productive consultation with parents, providers and the general public.
Some of the key recommendations in the report include:
A longer period of parental leave to enhance outcomes in the first year of a child’s life;
An enhanced ECCE provision (currently the ‘free pre-school year’) which would be extended to the point at which primary school starts;
and
A new, single subsidy scheme for pre-school and school-going children with simplified eligibility based on income.
At today’s launch Minister Reilly said:
I am pleased that the Group has looked in depth at the international evidence. It has pointed to the shortfalls in the current provision in Ireland and has put forward costed options which can be of real benefit to children, parents, families and society. As the economy improves, we now have opportunity for strategic investment that will help achieve better outcomes for children, offer greater supports to parents, improve quality, and upskill the sector.

Meredith Gudsell, Sustainability Manager at Natural Pet Food Group
When it comes to climate change, we have the opportunity now to fix things for the future. At Natural Pet Food Group, we’re proud to be investing and upskilling in this space.
Combining only the best wholefoods ingredients from New Zealand, we create high-meat diets packed with energy and nutrients that cats and dogs thrive on.
As a global premium pet food business, it is no question we take from nature. My role as Global Sustainability Manager seeks to understand how we can give back more than we take. Key priorities for us includes the reduction and eventual removal, of emissions across our network, giving back to our community in meaningful ways and implementing more circular operating practices.
Sustainability is not achieved in isolation. To be successful, it requires a commitment by the whole team. Change, at times, can be a little uncomfortable. I was proud to play hockey for Aotearoa in the Black Sticks in my younger years. I see a lot of parallels between high performance sport and sustainability; being comfortable in the uncomfortable, striving for progress not perfection, and consistently looking for ways to be better.
Wearing the Silver Fern is a huge privilege. For me, that privilege came with the acute awareness that my time playing on the world stage was limited. One day you hang up the shirt with the hope you left the team that little bit better for the next generation. When it comes to climate change, our time is also limited. We must continue to invest, educate, and advocate for the future of our world.

Businesses are facing the steepest labor shortages in a generation with over 11 million open jobs in the U.S. One solution: the rise of Design Apprentice programs across public and private sector organizations. This new reskilling and upskilling mechanism is creating more inclusive and equitable pathways to the global workforce by combining kinesthetic and action learning methods in product, service, fashion, sound and user experience design.

As the impacts of climate change remains a growing concern for local communities in PNG, it is crucial that, the country’s approach to climate change is clearly understood by all key stakeholders to collectively address it. A four-day media training in the West New Britain Province was aimed at empowering local media participants to upskill their reporting on forestry and climate change developments in PNG. The training hosted by the Climate Change and Development Authority (CCDA) with technical and funding support from Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF) through UNDP was highly commended by participating journalists.
