Close the "digital divide"
Low-income students - especially primary school students - are at a significant disadvantage in the digital era due to lack of access to both the hardware itself (computers) and the Internet (broadband access). In every generation, children are the future of the workforce, but in the 21st century, computers are indispensable for success in - and even understanding of - the working world around us. If kids don't have access, they fall exponentially behind those who do. What discoveries won't be made (or might be delayed significantly) because the child who might grow up to make them couldn't advance due to lack of access stemming from his or her family's income level?
