The Digital Divide
By: Kim Czaccei Dacanay
The digital divide exists in the Philippine education system for the longest time, but the Pandemic exposed just how bad it is. The digital divide is the barrier between those who have access to computers and the internet and those who don't.
 
Educational attainment is heavily affected by the digital divide, and this remains true to many countries in the world. Many provinces in the Philippines have a slim to none access to the internet connection. Students and teachers would have to climb high places to get internet access. Also, as reported by STAR last year, 13 million Filipino households don't have electricity.
 
Therefore, the transition to online classes will put certain Filipino student population at a stark disadvantage. If there's no internet
 
 
connection, how can the students do research work? How can they interact with their instructors? How can they learn?
Education must not be exclusive for people who are privileged enough to have a laptop and a stable internet connection.
Education is for everyone.
