Abstract:
This report is the first-ever look across four key areas to see whether Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is helping children 1) improve educational achievement, 2) lead healthier lives, 3) increase economic opportunity, and 4) participate in their communities. The year-long study also reveals the disparities that have resulted in an "opportunity gap" for millions of low-income and ethnic minority children.
