[1st-mile-nm] Education Superhighway State of the States Report

[Richard Lowenberg]

 From the Benton Foundation’s synopsis of the new Education Superhighway 
report on high-speed connections for the nation’s schools:

>> More than 39 million students in America now have access to high-speed 
>> Internet at school, a 5.1 million student increase over last year. 
>> This research shows that 94 percent of school districts nationwide now 
>> meet the minimum 100 kilobits per second (kbps) per student goal set 
>> by the Federal Communications Commission in 2014. The report confirms 
>> that America continues to make extraordinary progress in narrowing the 
>> K-12 digital divide. Overall, 39.2 million students, 2.6 million 
>> teachers, and 74,000 schools are now achieving the minimum 
>> connectivity goal that gives students equal access to digital learning 
>> opportunities. However, 6.5 million students are on the other side of 
>> the digital divide without access to high-speed Internet. A divide 
>> that is particularly wide in the 1,587 rural K-12 schools that don’t 
>> yet have the infrastructure necessary to revolutionize the way 
>> teachers teach and students learn.<<
