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.
