- Abstract
The necessity of providing all people with an affordable, high-quality education is underscored by the fact that the right to education is a fundamental human right that is universally recognised. Blended learning has become a potential strategy to improve educational possibilities and address numerous issues in the education sector in recent years. Blended learning incorporates technology and digital resources into the learning process by combining traditional face-to-face training with online learning techniques. This paper investigates the link between social justice and blended learning in higher education. It examines how access, equity, and inclusive participation could enhance learning outcomes through blended learning in higher education. Blended learning also allows customised interactive learning experiences that increase learner motivation and engagement. Technology in blended learning makes the utilisation of multimedia resources, interactive exercises, and collaborative tools possible, improving the caliber and efficacy of instruction. Issues, including the digital divide, infrastructure restrictions, and training requirements, must be addressed to guarantee social justice in higher education. In summary, incorporating social justice in higher education blended learning can significantly advance the realisation of the right to education.
