Abstract

As democratic values increasingly come under strain globally, education systems are quietly entering a new era—one marked not by open civic participation, but by algorithmic oversight, technocratic governance, and controlled narratives. This chapter explores the contours of education in a post-democratic context, where the promises of digital transformation coexist with subtle forms of surveillance and behavioral standardization. It interrogates the evolving relationship between learners and power, showing how technologies once celebrated for democratizing knowledge may now reinforce hierarchical structures and limit dissent. At the same time, it examines how educational institutions can either reproduce systems of compliance or become sites of critical resistance. Through an interdisciplinary lens that weaves together political theory, technology ethics, and educational praxis, the chapter advocates for a reimagining of ICT-driven education—one that safeguards human agency, nurtures ethical awareness, and resists reductionist narratives.
