19.09.2017 09:17 "Agro Perspectiva" (Kyiv) —
A «stark divide» has emerged over digital skills throughout the world, and more education is key to closing the gap, UN Radio says referring to the Broadband Commission for Sustainable Development (UN entity that promotes global connectivity) report.
The report points to factors including gender, class, geography and age as determinants of a person’s ability to access and benefit from digital technology.
The report highlights how so-called «technological socialization» is imperative to an individual success in terms of education and career.
Within the report, Broadband Commission members recommend ways in which the public and private sector can work together, to ensure digital competence is a priority within education systems everywhere.
