Yasira Waqar, Sumera Rashid, Faisal Anis, Yaar Muhammad · 2024 · Journal of Social & Organizational Matters

Summary. Rural Pakistan faces severe digital divides that exclude learners from quality education. The paper compares urban and rural areas, finding stark disparities in technology infrastructure, internet access, and computer literacy. Government policies have failed to close these gaps. The authors recommend expanding digital infrastructure in rural regions, training teachers in technology use, and implementing equitable resource policies to ensure all Pakistani students can access educational technology.
