According to UNESCO, there are globally over 263 million children, over a quarter of them pre-adolescent, that are not attending any type of education. The majority of these children live in areas of the world where access to the Internet is non-existent, or if available, unaffordable. If online education could somehow be made available, these children would still have no digital smart device, such as a tablet or a laptop, to access it.
