Title: How to Reduce the Digital Divide in School Education
Title: Как сократить цифровое неравенство в школьном образовании
Abstract: In order to combat the spread of coronavirus infection, the educational process in schools is periodically carried out remotely using online platforms and electronic educational resources. Despite the set of measures taken, the education system faced significant difficulties in transferring the educational process to a remote mode. To a lesser extent, rural educational organizations turned out to be ready for distance learning; there was regional differentiation in terms of access to broadband Internet, the availability of computers and their use for educational purposes. The issues of organizing online learning, including ensuring equal opportunities in access to digital educational infrastructure, remain relevant.
