Education, E-Governance, and Inclusive Digital Ecosystems

The effect of digital age on education, government and the participation of individuals in the society is enormous in that digital identity has been created that acts as a platform of access, authentication and provision of services. The chapter is the philosophical reflection of the intersection of education, e-governance and encompassing digital ecosystems and opportunities and challenges of some effort to reach a compromise between efficiency and ethics. The chapter proves that it would need a synchrony of a sound technology infrastructure, fair policy structures and inclusion where communities would be incorporated to create privacy resilient and inclusive digital ecosystems. It is followed by recommendations of how these three concepts, the self-sovereign identity, blockchain and privacy-enhancing technologies may be combined to form powerful digital infrastructures that may safeguard the rights of individuals but, on the other hand, be universal.
