The digital revolution has not been an equalizer but has instead exacerbated the pre-existing social inequality, creating what is known as the “digital divide.” This chasm separates those with easy access to computers and the internet from those without. The consequences are profound. Individuals on the wrong side of the divide face significant disadvantages in education, as vast repositories of knowledge are now online.

Bridging this gap requires concerted efforts from governments and educational institutions to provide infrastructure and training, ensuring that technological progress does not leave a segment of the population behind.
