In what way does the IEA address the digital divide in education?

The IEA addresses the digital divide in education by analyzing access to technology and its impact on learning outcomes. This approach allows for a comprehensive understanding of how disparities in technology access can influence educational performance and opportunities. By investigating both the availability and usage of technology in educational settings, the IEA can identify areas where students may be at a disadvantage due to insufficient resources.

Through this analysis, the IEA can provide valuable insights and recommendations for policymakers and educators on how to bridge these gaps, ensuring that all students have equal opportunities to succeed in an increasingly digital world. This focus on data-driven evaluation is crucial for creating effective strategies to enhance educational equity and improve learning outcomes across different demographics and regions.
