Challenges of the Digital Divide
The digital divide refers to inequalities in access to technology and the internet, which can hinder individuals’ ability to participate in remote learning and benefit from its opportunities. This divide affects the ability to demonstrate merit through educational achievements.
Learners in low-income regions may lack infrastructure or resources to access online education, limiting their ability to develop skills and knowledge despite their potential and efforts.
Addressing these challenges involves leveraging technology to bridge the gap and support equal opportunities for all learners.
