Abstract
In light of the increasing consensus that digital competence and digital literacy are important lifelong skills in the global and knowledge economy of the twenty-first century, this book examines the causes and consequences of digital inclusion and exclusion for students in secondary education. In this concluding chapter, we summarize the major findings of our empirical analyses and discuss their implications. The discussion highlights the challenges faced by policymakers and educators when addressing digital divides and the important questions scholars may consider when exploring the solutions for this persistent form of social inequality. We then provide policy recommendations for educators and governments to improve e-learning home environments and to integrate digital and internet technologies into education.
