THE DIGITAL DIVIDE AND ACCESS TO EDUCATION

THE DIGITAL DIVIDE AND ACCESS TO EDUCATION

The digital divide — uneven access to technology and the internet — has become a pressing issue in modern education, where technology is increasingly integral. According to the World Bank (2020), over 40 percent of the global population lacks reliable internet access, which creates significant obstacles for students in these areas to access educational resources.

For today’s youth, particularly those in marginalised communities, this gap translates to limited learning opportunities and restricted access to critical skills in an increasingly digital world (UNESCO, 2020).
