Digital Inclusion

In recent years, Taiwan‘s urban-rural gap continues to widen and children residing in remote areas lack the access to decent learning environment. With the arrival of the digital age, the importance of lifelong learning in digital technology has been emphasized. In order to ensure the diversity and fairness of education quality, FET uses its core business capabilities to respond to UN SDGs Quality Education (SDG 4) and Reduce Inequality (SDG 10) in order to improve the overall quality of education for children in Taiwan, and continue to improve social inequality. Launching the “Revolutionize Education, Spread Love Far” project, FET focuses on the development of a series of activities on bridging the urban-rural educational gap via digital technology to improve the quality of education and social inequality.
