The UK trade body UKIE is starting a campaign encouraging the games industry to donate laptops and computing equipment to help close the digital divide.
The new initiative, Devices For All, will ask UK games companies to commit to helping schools and families that lack the resources to provide children with technological resources a problem that has been exacerbated with the need to educate children from home during the pandemic. There s a need right now for devices in schools across the UK, but the digital divide is huge, existed before the pandemic and requires real, long-term solutions, said Shahneila Saeed, head of education at UKIE and director of the Digital Schoolhouse national education programme.
