homework gap
Connectivity access disparity
The homework gap is the disadvantage faced by students who lack reliable internet access at home, making it difficult to complete assignments that require online resources.
The term emerged as schools increasingly assigned digital homework, leaving students without broadband—often in rural or low-income households—struggling to keep up: The pandemic exposed the homework gap when millions of students couldn't access remote learning.
