Millions of students struggle with digital learning because they don’t have quality internet connections or devices - an issue known as the homework gap. Through AT&T Connected Learning℠, we're investing in connectivity and technology, digital literacy, and digital learning solutions to help connect today’s learners with success – in and out of the classroom. It’s part of our $2 billion commitment to help bridge the digital divide and remove barriers to affordability, access and adoption of tech.
