The lack of access to digital tools can hinder students’ success

Without access to technology, students fall behind in today’s interconnected world. Unfortunately, this is the reality for many students who are without critical resources such as mobile broadband, digital readers, interactive tools, and other essential educational technologies. 

This lack of access can stem from various socioeconomic factors. Students from low-income families may live in areas with limited internet infrastructure or their families may struggle to afford internet service and devices. Additionally, some schools may lack the funding to properly equip classrooms with the latest technology. These disparities can hamper students’ ability to learn effectively and participate or compete in a technology-driven world.

We empower individuals and educational institutions nationwide

As an education non-profit organization, Views on Learning provides essential technological resources to:

Accredited public schools

VOL prioritizes supporting accredited public schools, as these institutions often face budgetary constraints that limit their access to the latest technology and critical internet infrastructure.

Students in underserved communities

VOL indirectly targets students from low-income backgrounds who might not have access to reliable internet or advanced educational tools at home.

Educators

We equip educators with essential tools to create engaging and effective learning experiences. We also offer professional development opportunities so they can collaborate with colleagues across geographical limitations.

Rural schools

Schools in rural areas often have limited technological resources. VOL's programs directly address this issue by ensuring all students, regardless of background or location, have the same opportunities to excel academically.
