About the Event
Many students in higher and further education are experiencing digital poverty, and therefore they cannot fully interact in the digital world how and when they need to. Due to financial or geographical factors, students may lack access to appropriate digital devices, data and internet connection and services, to develop the digital capabilities they need to succeed in their studies and thrive in their career.
