Finland supports 4IR education and reducing the digital divide in Southern Africa

Local Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) laboratory and education facility Forge Academy on April 28 said Finland has reiterated its intention to help narrow the digital divide in Southern Africa by focusing on skills development in the technology sector. “The global digital divide poses a challenge to the realisation of building inclusive economies where all individuals have access to education, freedom of association and equal opportunities. Citizens of poorer nations have fewer opportunities to access the global digital economy and bridging the digital divide is therefore important to ensure the human rights of all citizens both online and offline,” said Forge Academy CEO Arthur Wade Anderson.
