In today's digital age, technology is essential for accessing educational resources and preparing students for future careers. However, a digital divide persists, particularly affecting students aged 14 to 19 from underprivileged backgrounds who lack access to vital tools like smartphones. This gap hinders their engagement with modern educational resources and their ability to develop necessary digital skills. The COVID-19 pandemic further highlighted the importance of digital access for continuous learning. To bridge this divide and provide equal educational opportunities, it is crucial to equip these students with smartphones, enabling them to access digital learning resources and prepare for a technology-driven future.
