• Abstract: Extended Reality (XR), encompassing Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR), is revolutionizing education by creating immersive, interactive learning environments. This article explores the potential of XR to enhance student engagement, experiential learning, and skill development while addressing the challenges of widespread adoption. High implementation costs, technical complexities, and ethical concerns especially regarding student privacy and biometric data protection still possess significant barriers to integration. The discussion also highlights regulatory compliance with GDPR and FERPA and the importance of cybersecurity frameworks to safeguard sensitive learner data. Ultimately, the article provides insights into balancing innovation with accessibility and ethics in the evolution of XR based education
