Bridging the Technology Access Gap in Education

The learning gap is caused by differences in how we in and out of school access the use of technology to improve learning opportunities and outcomes. To help ensure powerful learning opportunities for all are supported by technology, we must understand and work to close this gap. And when it comes to building the gap between school and home, it's all about making the effort to align student success goals between the classroom and home. Challenges can crop up when families speak a language other than English at home.

People raised in different generations tend to hold different perspectives on topics because of the gap in cultural understanding between them. This gap needs to be bridged for different generations to understand one another, and for society to progress as a whole. To reduce the technology gap developing countries need to discover ways to extend or expand information infrastructure, increase access by improving markets, and reduce the cost of service, especially for Internet access.

We need stronger infrastructure to provide uninterrupted Internet connections and electronic devices to students if we are to narrow the digital divide. Learning’s from other countries can be useful and similar initiatives can be taken up depending on state capacity and collaboration with private service providers. We need to improve markets to ensure the required capital to build infrastructure. The market is necessary to increase capital. Reduce the cost of service so that labor can be employed in the infrastructure and market and their services can be hired more and development can be extended.

Bridging the technology access gap in education can improve the conditions of a country. In today's time, when Covid 19 pandemic situation is there, technology is used in education. Technology is really helpful in the field of education. Thus, gaps in education especially technological gaps should be bridged.
