Abstract
One of the fundamental components of the United Nations’ sustainable development 2030 agenda is quality education. It aims to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education for all. Digital technologies have emerged as an essential tool to achieve this goal. These technologies are simple to detect emissions sources, prevent additional damage through improved energy efficiency and lower-carbon alternatives to fossil fuels, and even remove surplus greenhouse gases from the environment. Digital technologies strive to decrease or eliminate pollution and waste while increasing production and efficiency. These technologies have shown a powerful impact on the education system. The recent COVID-19 Pandemic has further institutionalised the applications of digital technologies in education. These digital technologies have made a paradigm shift in the entire education system. It is not only a knowledge provider but also a co-creator of information, a mentor, and an assessor. Technological improvements in education have made life easier for students. Instead of using pen and paper, students nowadays use various software and tools to create presentations and projects. When compared to a stack of notebooks, an iPad is relatively light. When opposed to a weighty book, surfing an E-book is easier. These methods aid in increasing interest in research. This paper is brief about the need for digital technologies in education and discusses major applications and challenges in education.

This abstratct is not well written. I fail to see the connection bwtween Quality Education (a definiton coud help here) and, "These technologies are simple to detect emissions sources, prevent additional damage through improved energy efficiency and lower-carbon alternatives to fossil fuels, and even remove surplus greenhouse gases from the environment. Digital technologies strive to decrease or eliminate pollution and waste while increasing production and efficiency." These technologies are simple to detect... very poor sentence structure So I went to the whole article in search of a defintion of Quality Education They way I found it by using a Google Lens serach. It is, Quality education is a goal of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which were established in 2015. The SDG 4 targets include:
Free primary and secondary education
Equal access to quality pre-primary education
Affordable technical, vocational, and higher education
Elimination of discrimination in education
Universal literacy and numeracy
Education for sustainable development and global citizenship
Quality Education | Close the Gap Foundation
Quality Education is one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by the United Nations in 2015.
Now perhaps an intellegent dialogue can happen.
