According to a new report from Michigan State University’s Quello

Center, slow internet connections or limited access from homes in


rural areas can contribute to the students falling behind academically
(Bauer, Brooks, & Hampton, 2020). A lack of reliable, high-speed
internet will only make the so-called achievement gap wider. Now low-
income and minority students may also have to fight against the gap
between students with internet access and those without (Lynch,
2017)

The use of technology is highly dynamic,


especially in the methods currently in place,
involving work at all academic institutions
that require significant advancements in the
teaching and learning process. Educational
institutions have been heavily invested in
setting up fast and reliable network
connection services in schools. Internet and
mobile network services have had a major
impact, even in organizations, in the context
education, and especially in the methods of
education and learning. The unstable
internet and mobile services has made it
difficult for the online learners to
interconnect with their teachers and fellow
students.
Truth be told, our country is an internet-challenged country. A
problem that had caused delays implementing remote
learning in general. Although internet plans exist; they are
not, however, created equal. Hence, in online classes, there
was never a day when a student hasn’t voiced out complaints
such as “Can someone tell the professor I/he/she got
disconnected?”, “I have unstable Wifi”, “Do you guys see/hear
me?”. We are in the city and yet we experience such mishaps.
What more are those students who are stuck in remote places
where signal isn’t as strong as what we city dwellers have?
They are forced to “move mountains” just to get a bar or two
