The COVID-19 pandemic has brought attention to the stark inequities in public education worldwide, with the United Nations sharing these statistics: Schools closed in 191 countries, affecting 1.5 billion students and 63 million primary and secondary school teachers. Half of students did not have access to a computer, and 40% did not have internet access. A total of 56 million children live in areas that are not served by mobile networks - for example, in sub-Saharan Africa. In the United States, about 7 million school-aged children are in homes without home internet service.
新冠疫情使全球公共教育领域存在的严重不平等问题受到关注,联合国公布了以下统计数据:191个国家的学校关闭,影响了15亿学生和6300万中小学教师。一半的学生没有电脑,40%的学生无法上网。共有5600万儿童生活在没有移动网络覆盖的地区,例如撒哈拉以南非洲地区。在美国,约700万学龄儿童家中没有家庭互联网服务。
