Technology improves access to education for all learners

Today, March 19, marks the second International Day for Digital Learning. This day is celebrated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to honor the impact of technology on education. Technology has changed the way people learn. Affordable internet and digital tools have made education more accessible to many. These advancements have helped busy adults earn degrees while managing work and family life. Institutions like Western Governors University (WGU) are leading this change. They have redefined education delivery, making digital skills essential in our connected world. WGU also offers an Online Access Scholarship, which provides students with technology like laptops and internet hotspots. This helps remove barriers to online learning. On this special day, we are reminded of the power of technology in creating education opportunities for everyone, regardless of their situation. It's a call to continue fostering innovation and ensuring that access to education becomes a reality for all.
