Abstract

The purpose of this research paper is to investigate the challenges of education that arose among learners of second chance schools, Greek inmates during the pandemic. Offenders lost their right to equal access to education because they could not even use a specialized digital interconnection facility with the eLearning Platform. Through open-source software, a specially encrypted platform has been created that enables distance learning while preventing access to any other part of the internet other than the learning process. The review's findings highlight the potential of educating and training socially excluded persons, such as inmates. Inmates at alternative schools can reclaim their inherent right to information and lifelong learning via the innovative, secure platform implemented. This study is unique in that it proposes a solution for educational access. The suggested Encrypted Distance Learning Platform can restore the human right lost in Greece during the pandemic, without the need to recruit people, while complying with safe protective measures (i.e., usage of a mask due to Covid-19).
