It's considered a basic human right, therefor, the fourth sustainable development goal in the united nations blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all, calls for access to quality education and lifelong learning opportunities by 2030. However, given the rapid expansion of information and communications technologies (ICTs) applications and the internet, the traditional education view will soon be outdated and replaced by a new world order. The recent COVID pandemic exposed major limitations in the traditional education view and it's rigid dependence on physical presence and facilities, nevertheless, it also shed the light on the potentials of utilizing information and communication technologies and Internet of things (IoT) concepts to revamp the educational sector.
