This abstract explores the impact of modern technology on education for Nigerian children, focusing on bridging the 
digital divide. It examines how access to technology influences educational outcomes, addressing factors such as 
infrastructure, affordability, and digital literacy. The paper investigates the role of government initiatives, private 
sector involvement, and community efforts in narrowing the gap. Through review of Relevant Literature and 
previous works similar to this, the paper delves into the challenges and opportunities presented by integrating 
technology into the Nigerian education system. It evaluates the effectiveness of various digital learning tools, online 
resources, and educational platforms in enhancing student engagement and academic performance. Additionally, it 
discusses the implications of unequal access to technology on socioeconomic disparities and suggests strategies for 
equitable access and inclusive education policies.
