Abstract

This paper examines the impact of the digital divide on educational justice in Indonesian schools, particularly in light of the growing integration of digital technologies in education. While the digital revolution has the potential to enhance educational outcomes, significant disparities in access to technology and digital literacy persist, particularly in rural and remote regions. The research investigates how these disparities affect students' learning opportunities, both in terms of access to online resources and the ability to develop essential digital skills. Through surveys and interviews with educators, students, and policymakers, the study highlights the challenges faced by schools in bridging the digital divide, such as inadequate infrastructure, limited teacher training in digital tools, and socio-economic barriers. The paper argues that closing the digital divide is crucial for ensuring educational equity and justice, particularly in a rapidly digitizing world. It concludes with recommendations for policy interventions, including increased investment in digital infrastructure, teacher training in technology integration, and efforts to promote digital literacy among students from all socio-economic backgrounds.
