DIGITAL DIVIDE IN THE PROVISION OF ETHICAL AND VALUES EDUCATION: RE-ENGINEERING FOR SUSTAINABLE NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

Digital divide remains a significant challenge in ensuring equal access to ethical and values in 
education. It significantly impacts in the teaching and learning of science, especially in 
developing regions like Nigeria. This divide hampers access to quality education, affecting 
both students and educators, addressing this issue is crucial for sustainable national 
development.  As technology continues to revolutionize education, disparities in digital access 
create inequalities in the moral development of individuals, which in turn affects national 
growth and stability. This paper examines the implications of the digital divide on the provision 
of ethics and values education. It advocates for re-engineering of national strategies to bridge 
this gap and foster inclusive, sustainable development. By leveraging technology equitably and 
responsibly, nations can empower citizens with the moral compass necessary to navigate 
modern challenges and contribute meaningfully to national growth
