ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses the Groupe Speciale Mobile Association (GSMA) defines mEducation as "the use of individual, portable devices which make use of mobile networks in mainstream education settings, aligning with curriculum objectives or used for high-stakes assessment. Overall, these two key nodal sites GSMA and United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) offer numerous synergies. We do this by looking at a specific instantiation of global governance networks structured around what has been referred as mEducation, or mobile education, with particular attention to key nodal sites that work to fusion and channel these narratives. The United States U.S. Ed-Tech market makes the interdependence between policy and business very apparent.
