Words from Our Special Guests

"Internet connectivity can create transformative pathways for education and employment and improve access to information and services, leaving no one behind means leaving no one offline."

Let's work together as a global community to translate these three words into real investments in digital inclusion and ensure that within this decade, our promise to be the first generation in history where every single child has schooling, is finally delivered"
