Connected kids deserve connected schools — and Mark Zuckerberg is determined to make that access a reality.
The Facebook co-founder announced on Thursday that he and his wife, Priscilla Chan, will give $20 million to the nonprofit EducationSuperHighway, which helps bring high-speed Internet to public school systems.
“In schools, The internet is critical for enabling something we know leads to better results: personalized learning,” Zuckerberg wrote in his Facebook post announcing the donation.
Many U.S. schools are connected to the Internet, but less than half have access to high-speed broadband, Zuckerberg wrote. And there’s research to support that.
In addition to the lack of high-quality connection, Internet access that does exist in public schools isn’t always available for student learning.
Zuckerberg and Chan previously donated $3 million to EducationSuperHighway in 2013.
