Welcome to the official Reddit community for Giga, a joint ITU/UNICEF initiative that supports governments in the mission to connect all schools in the world to the internet. The foundation of this effort is innovation, co-creation and knowledge sharing across four main activities: school location mapping, infrastructure modeling and cost analysis, and guidance in financing and contracting.

Giga is possible thanks to collaboration with governments, communities, international organizations, internet service providers and mobile network operators, multilateral development banks and other funders — and all those who care about digital equity. We're glad you're here — let’s make this space a catalyst for open discussion, collaboration and innovation around the goal of universal school connectivity.

When it comes to the policy and regulatory choices in your country to advance school connectivity, share what is contributing to progress and what needs to be improved.

The priority skills in a newly connected school are foundational digital literacy, online safety, and effective use of digital tools for teaching and learning. Are these being implemented in your school/community/country? What challenges have you encountered?
