How will you make sure children in underserved communities get access to computers and digital skills?
I will integrate digital literacy into the primary school curriculum and build solar-powered ICT laboratories in public schools through partnerships with private technology companies. Alongside this, I will treat digital infrastructure as a basic public service, expanding internet access nationwide and working to make data affordable so no child is priced out. I'll also launch large-scale reskilling programmes to prepare the next generation for the age of AI. No community will be left behind.
