Why it matters
The availability of connectivity, devices, and remote/online learning provision for students. A continuing factor whose importance surged with COVID-19 school closures, when over 400 million of the 1.6 billion affected learners could not access any distance learning.

Welfare indicators this driver moves, strongest first. Each mini chart shares the timeline above.
Mandating AI and media literacy in curriculum frameworks builds the skills students need to use digital and AI-based learning tools effectively, strengthening meaningful digital-learning access.
Removing the subscription cost widened educators' access to AI-based digital learning tools at national scale.
The abaya ban is a school dress-code and secularism measure with no clear, evidenced effect on access to or quality of learning; recorded as a near-neutral link pending review rather than a substantive education-driver change.
An AI tutor aimed at low or zero cost broadens access to individualised digital instruction, though real-world learning gains remain under study.
Broad early-learning access expansion modestly widens the on-ramp to schooling, though the package was not primarily a digital-access measure.
The closures forced a rapid global scale-up of remote/online learning, sharply raising the salience and intensity of the digital-learning-access driver (while exposing deep access gaps).
