@MothannaGh: We are now at 90% smart phones in Jordan. To bridge that gap, the government decided that education is not a luxury, and being connected is not a luxury. It’s not a privilege, it’s a must. If you go digital, you need to be inclusive and use digitalization for justice, and as a tool for enablement and not a tool for exclusion.

@MothannaGh: Social protection includes laptops and connectivity. We have done our homework and relied on different data sources to cover the gap this year. Every vulnerable and poor house in Jordan will have a connective device for students.

Having realized that there is so much of digital divide not only in the least developed countries, but even in highly developed country like the USA, what is the role of World Bank in this challenging situation of COVID-19?
