Abstract:
Recently, globe has tried to transform populace activities to digital platform, wherefrom all stakeholders can attain their basic information. However, education sector cannot be excluded from this debate. Since, the pandemic mostly most economies have utilized digital transformation in different aspects of life, but digital education becomes more prominent. Therefore, this empirical research focuses on digital writing specifically to English education in G-7 economies between the time frame spanning from January 2000 to April 2022. This study considers urbanization, income, renewable energy, information & communication technology, renewable energy, English education, and pandemic as the key environmental determinants. To address the challenges posed by panel data, this study utilized an advanced set of estimators such as AMG stands for Augmented Mean Group. The estimate of urbanization and income per capita is positively significant, confirming that urbanization and economic development cannot protect the green economy by minimizing environmental pollution. Likewise, the estimated coefficient of English Education and internet use is negative and significant, implying that English Education and ICT can protect the green economy by reducing emissions. Conversely, renewable energy consumption (REC) is an element that can increase economic activity and therefore decline the environmental damages to secure a green economy. Likewise, the growth in cases of Covid-19 also reduces the usage of resources like land, water, and forests and subsequently decreases carbon emissions, promoting the green economy. The results also indicate that interaction term of English Education and ICT have adverse impact on Carbon emission (CO2). The outcomes suggest that internet usage (ICT) in English Education (EE) can deal efficiently with environmental issues for the green economy; therefore, EE and ICT should be part of green policies across the international level.
摘要:
最近,Global试图将大众活动转变为数字平台,所有利益相关者都可以从中获得他们的基本信息。然而,教育界不能被排除在这场辩论之外。因为,大多数经济体都在生活的不同方面利用了数字转型,但是数字教育变得更加突出。因此,这项实证研究的重点是2000年1月至2022年4月期间,七国集团经济体中专门针对英语教育的数字写作。这项研究认为城市化,收入,可再生能源,信息和通信技术,可再生能源,英语教育,和大流行是关键的环境决定因素。为了应对面板数据带来的挑战,这项研究利用了一组先进的估计器,如AMG代表增强均值组。城市化和人均收入的估计是正显著的,确认城市化和经济发展不能通过最大限度地减少环境污染来保护绿色经济。同样,英语教育和互联网使用的估计系数是负的和显著的,这意味着英语教育和ICT可以通过减少排放来保护绿色经济。相反,可再生能源消费(REC)是可以增加经济活动并因此减少环境破坏以确保绿色经济的要素。同样,新冠肺炎病例的增长也减少了土地等资源的使用,水,和森林,然后减少碳排放,推动绿色经济。结果还表明,英语教育和ICT的交互术语对碳排放(CO2)产生不利影响。结果表明,英语教育(EE)中的互联网使用(ICT)可以有效地处理绿色经济的环境问题;因此,EE和ICT应成为整个国际绿色政策的一部分。
