'The global problem of digital divide was further highlighted during the pandemic. As educators, we faced a lot of issues when it came to teaching and learning.' 'Lack of skills has worsened the situation. Many teachers and students do not know how to operate computers and use internet for teaching and learning. Most parents on the other end did not know how to use computer or phones for education either so were completely unable to assist their children in online learning. Understanding and proper use of technology is a very critical issue.' - Nusrat, Secondary school teacher from Pakistan. Last week, we released a new research report, ‘Addressing the Deepening Digital Divide’, which is based on research with teachers 1,557 teachers across 92 countries, and looks at the digital divide in education. Teachers from across the world told us about the barriers they faced to effective teaching and learning, and how they witnessed first-hand the impact that the divide had on learners’ long-term development.

'When reviewing the language evidence, 'vax' stood out as an obvious choice. The word’s dramatic spike in usage caught our attention first. Then we ran the analysis and a story started to emerge, revealing how vax sat at the centre of our preoccupations this year. The evidence was everywhere, from dating apps (vax 4 vax) and pent-up frustrations (hot vax summer) to academic calendars (vaxx to school) and bureaucratic operations (vax pass). In monopolizing our discourse, it’s clear the language of vaccines is changing how we talk—and think—about public health, community, and ourselves.' Today, Oxford Languages announced its 2021 Word of the Year, and the publication of the language report, 'VAX, a Report into the language of vaccines'. Casper, President of Oxford Languages, explains how the word was selected, and why it was important to explore the wider language of vaccines in non English-speaking parts of the world too. #OUPlife #people #mission #purpose #WOTY #WOTY2021 #vax #vocabulary #COVID19 #oxfordlanguages #OED #language #dictionary #lexicography

'The digital divide is nothing new; it wasn’t a side effect of the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic just shed a harsh light on the reality that many people do not have equal opportunities because of their access or lack thereof to the internet and/or appropriate devices.' 'The need for distance learning only widened the gap between children living in poverty and their peers. Those on a lower income have to be frugal with their earnings, but before, there were other options—the library or an Internet café. All this changed, however, when we were plunged into the unforeseeable lockdowns. ' - Amber, Mathematics Subject Lead from Dorset, UK.

'The COVID-19 pandemic has forced students to change how they learn. There is more ownership of their learning as they must be organized, resilient, able to develop their time management skills, and often self-direct the duration and extent of how hard they work. I found the move to digital learning forced me to reconsider how to deliver contemporary lessons, and this renewal was refreshing, and at times, exciting. To address the digital divide, we must all acknowledge that we teach in a new, online world. Then, like students, we can change how we teach and strive to narrow the digital divide.' - Kirk, Humanities & Maths Teacher in Australia. Our latest report, ‘Addressing the Deepening Digital Divide’, explores the worrying impact of the digital divide on education and offers recommendations to ensure education is future-proof for everyone. Teachers from across the world contributed to the research, offering their own perspectives on the challenges that they had experienced.

'In wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, students in India were forced to shift to a virtual model of education. While the transition was quite smooth for the privileged, the underprivileged ones are in a pitfall, even today, because of a lack of access to internet and electronic devices to view online content, leading to inequality in educational services.' 'If the digital divide is left unaddressed, the gap between the under-connected and the hyper-digitalized will widen, aggravating existing inequalities. We need a coordinated multi-lateral response to deal with the challenge of digitalization. Can we take what we’ve learned and create strategies that will help to heal the digital divide before it worsens further? This is the big question!' - Sonu, PGT English teacher from Uttar Pradesh, India. Today, we launch a new research report, ‘Addressing the Deepening Digital Divide’, which is based on research with teachers 1,557 teachers across 92 countries, and looks at the impact that the digital divide has had on education. We asked teachers what barriers they have faced to effective teaching and learning, and how the divide has affected learners’ long-term development.
