This paper presents a conceptual insight into the Design of the Metaverse to facilitate educational transformation in selected developing nations within the Global South regions, e.g., India. These regions are often afflicted with socio-economic challenges but rich in cultural diversity. By utilizing a socio-technical design approach, this study explores the specific needs and opportunities presented by these diverse settings. A rapid scoping review of the scant existing literature is conducted to provide fundamental insights. A novel design methodology was formulated that utilized ChatGPT for ideation, brainstorming, and literature survey query generation. This paper aims not only to shed light on the educational possibilities enabled by the Metaverse but also to highlight design considerations unique to the Global South.
