The evolution of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has transformed education, providing resources such as the internet, computers, cell phones, tablets and virtual reality. The arrival of 5G technology has significant potential to improve these solutions, with emphasis on greater bandwidth, low latency and reliability. 5G’s remote interactivity allows for more realistic dialogues, bringing people together and facilitating discussions. The technology benefits the distance teaching of dynamic skills and psychomotor learning, extending the forms of communication to gestures, mimes and coordinated dynamics.

“Telepresence” offers an alternative to mass content on the internet, promoting discussion and critical thinking. 5G also boosts project-based learning, allowing interaction with complex objects and online co-creation. The concept of “tactile internet” highlights the rapid response to touch, promoting a virtual tactile experience. Despite the necessary investments in regulation and infrastructure, 5G opens up opportunities in education, eliminating the need to install fixed networks in schools and homes. The potential of 5G in education highlights the importance of educators and developers dedicating themselves to ubiquitous, fast and interactive communication, emphasizing the need for consistent methodologies and pedagogical and ethical considerations.
