In this digital era, access to education has become more important than ever. However, a persistent gap in access to education exists, known as education disparity. This gap between those who have access to education and those who do not show the unequal distribution of education resources, opportunities, and outcomes among different groups. This essay will explore the causes and the consequences of the education disparity and propose strategies from a digital perspective to bridge this gap and create a more equitable society. 

One of the most critical causes of educational disparities is schools' lack of technology. Every school should have at least one set of computers for their technology, of course with the Internet. Because with that computer, schools can do many things such as printing, searching, managing, and many other things that are related to learning. 

Education disparity leads to many consequences. Individuals from low educational backgrounds often face limited job opportunities, resulting in lower incomes and perpetuating poverty. This gap also affects health disparities and reduces social mobility. Ultimately, education disparity slows down economic growth, less educated workforce means a lack of innovation and productivity. 

This educational gap can be closed with access to technology. Schools and underprivileged communities should have access to computers, the Internet, and other learning-supporting technology from the federal government. Access to the best educational resources can be enhanced via digital instructional tools and online learning environments. To enhance student engagement, the Ministry of Education ought to introduce an improved curriculum that students truly enjoy. We can strive for more equitable access to education by utilizing digital tools.  

The causes, consequences and strategies of the education disparity have been outlined. Lack of access to technology in schools is the cause of educational disparities, preventing students from gaining essential digital skills and resources. This disparity results in limited job opportunities, lower incomes, and perpetuated poverty, further contributing to health disparities, reduced social mobility, and slower economic growth. To overcome these issues, easy access to technology and digital resources is a must. Government support is essential in providing the necessary technological infrastructure and developing an engaging curriculum. Ultimately, through the implementation of digital strategies, we can close the educational gap and make a more prosperous society.
