Connecting every school in the world to the Internet  One in three people around the world still doesn’t have access to the Internet, including 1.3 billion children who can’t get online at home.  But many of these children can’t connect at school either, meaning they won’t learn digital skills that are desperately needed in an increasingly digital world.  Without them they stand little chance of lifting themselves out of poverty. A global initiative run by UNICEF and the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) aims to connect every single school in the world to the Internet by 2030.  But how will this be done?  How do you even find every school in the world? Will governments co-operate?  These questions and others are answered on this special edition of Somewhere on Earth: The Global Tech Podcast, by Chris Fabian, co-founder and co-leader of Giga – the initiative to give every young person access to information, opportunities and choice. The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell and the studio expert is Peter Guest.For new episodes, subscribe wherever you get your audio. If you like Somewhere on Earth rate and review it.   More on this week's stories: Giga: Connecting every school in the world to the internet https://giga.global/  Chris Fabian, Co-founder, Co-Lead Giga, UNICEF https://www.linkedin.com/in/hichrisfabian/?originalSubdomain=ch Salima Bah, Minister of Communication, Technology and Innovation, Government of Sierra Leone, West Africa https://www.linkedin.com/in/salima-bah-564800184/?originalSubdomain=sl   Ben Roberts, Group Chief CTO and Innovation Officer at Liquid Intelligent Technologies https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-roberts-9085592/   The Team Sound editor is Keziah Wenham-Kenyon Audio is by Callum Swingler Production Manager is Liz Tuohy Support the showEditor: Ania LichtarowiczProduction Manager: Liz Tuohy Recording and audio editing : Lansons | Team Farner For new episodes, subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.Follow us on all the socials: Join our Facebook group Instagram Twitter/X If you like Somewhere on Earth, please rate and review it on Apple PodcastsContact us by email: hello@somewhereonearth.coSend us a voice note: via WhatsApp: +44 7486 329 484Find a Story + Make it News = Change the World
