The Dhaka Times Desk With the education system in today's world where internet technology is of utmost importance, the Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates Foundation will work together to ensure high speed internet services for students across schools.
Remote education is of great importance in the current education system, at the same time remote education has various school related subjects which depend on the internet as a result very few schools are able to provide high speed internet technology for the students.
A joint effort by Mark Zuckerberg's Education initiative and Bill Gates' Gates' Foundation will ensure high-speed Internet connectivity in all schools across the United States. Education SuperHighway Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates' new joint fund, which has contributed $9 million so far, will operate as a completely non-profit foundation.
Mark Zuckerberg said in this regard, "When schools and teachers use advanced high-speed Internet, students will have the opportunity to know and learn more."
Earlier, US President Barack Obama said at the beginning of the year, "At present, 80% schools in the country do not have high-quality Internet connections. I want 99% schools to be covered by high-quality Internet connections by the end of this year." However, although this is good to hear, it has not been implemented yet.
There are still many schools in America where there is no internet connection, in those schools some people like Mark Zuckerberg or Bill Gates must come forward.
