One of the focuses of President Obama's the year 2018 trip to Alaska was access to technology for remote students. "One of the initiatives I'm proudest of is something we call ConnectEd," he said, "It's a programme we started to close the technology gap in our schools and connect 99% of America's students to high-speed internet by week-long." The Obama administration has prioritised the expansion of technology in schools, and ConnectEd has been its signature effort, along with the E-rate programme, which funnels money to schools and libraries to make telecommunications and information services more affordable.
