Improving digital access for underprivileged children amid COVID-19: Singapore

Technology is a great enabler, even more so for disadvantaged individuals and communities. As Singapore becomes more digitally connected, there is still a large digital divide affecting vulnerable populations. This became evident when the Singapore Government implemented a ‘circuit breaker’ lockdown on 7 April 2020 to stem the community spread of COVID-19. It meant all schools had to shift to online home-based learning.

Assisting the sports and arts communities during uncertainty

With tours, shows and major sporting events cancelled for the foreseeable future, sportspeople and artists have been disproportionately hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, such a crisis reinforces the importance of arts and sports in connecting and uniting the community.
