The Price of the Gap: Calculate, Prioritize and Invest in LAC's Digital Learning

Governments across Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) are investing in digital education, yet many decisions are made without a clear understanding of the full costs involved. The Digital Learning Cost Calculator is a decision‑support tool designed to help bridge this gap by providing evidence‑based, ballpark cost estimates for digital learning investments.

This launch event will introduce the Calculator and showcase how it supports investment planning across five key dimensions of digital transformation for education: meaningful connectivity, devices, teacher training, digital platforms, and governance. Through a live demonstration and policy dialogue with government representatives and international partners, the event will explore how countries can use the tool to prioritize investments, assess trade‑offs, and advance a more systemic and coordinated approach to digital education.
