Digital Divide --- COVID-19 has most likely also made the debate around the digital divide more prominent, especially when it comes to eduaction tools used in schools. On the one hand the digital divide or unequal distribution of access to the internet, also within societies, raises the concern of leaving children behind in education if they cannot access the internet or do not have privileged access at the other hand, connecting everyone to the internet in the name of providing education everywhere anytime increase vulnerabilities. I am very interested to know how this dichotomy is addressed by specialist in the development sector and teachers around the world.
