At Econocom, we believe there is secondary value in everything. As the world has gone through a massive change with the pandemic, what becomes clear is that the COVID-19 crisis has shown the effects of the digital divide in the education sector.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><span style=\"font-family: Montserrat;font-size: 14px\">Thousands of young people lost a significant amount of contact with school, with those digitally excluded being impacted most unfavourably with little or no access to computer equipment. Students, but also teachers, felt out of the loop due to the lack of sufficient technological resources and digital skills. The most adversely impacted families were those who suffered from a loss of income and in turn struggled to support their children with the new normal of home online learning. At Econocom, we think it\u2019s possible to bridge the global digital divide if we promote innovative ways of doing business and this great partnership is one way of achieving this.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What if companies were able to take the \u201cfarm to table\u201d approach from the food sector to the tech bubble to fight against digital exclusion and e-waste?
