KMK President Confident in Digital Education Funding Agreement
Despite political challenges, efforts to secure a new Digital Pact for schools continue with optimism.
- Negotiations between the federal government and states over school digitalization funding have been ongoing for months.
- The previous Digital Pact, which expired in May, saw the federal government cover 90% of digitalization costs.
- Current proposals suggest the federal government will only finance up to 50%, a point of contention for the states.
- KMK President Christine Streichert-Clivot remains hopeful for a resolution, emphasizing the importance of continued investment.
- The digital divide in education is a key concern, with efforts focused on ensuring equitable access for all students.
