This divide means that some students have access to the internet, laptops, and online learning tools, while millions of others do not — especially in rural areas and low-income families. As a result, many children are falling behind simply because they don’t have the tools to learn.
To bridge this gap, we need to provide affordable internet, donate digital devices, and train teachers in digital skills

Absolutely! The digital divide is a serious barrier to equal education. When some students lack access to basic tech tools, they’re unfairly left behind. To bridge this gap, we must work together to ensure affordable internet, donate devices, and equip teachers with digital training. Equal access to technology means equal opportunities to learn, grow, and succeed—no matter where a child lives.

@Mariya-Rajpar Bridging the digital divide is not just about technology—it's about equity, access, and empowerment. If all children, regardless of where they live, can access digital tools and skills, we can ensure that education becomes a right, not a privilege.
