END THE DIGITAL DIVIDE With the increased reliance on digital connectivity, the pandemic shone a light on the barriers of digital exclusion. That’s why we will provide every primary and

secondary school child in Scotland with a laptop or tablet to get online – including a free internet connection and the support to use it. And we will establish a National Digital Academy

which will allow learners to access the full higher curriculum – any day, any place, any age. This new approach would end the postcode lottery of subject choice, and enable people to study

for their Highers whilst also being in work or fulfilling caring commitments.
