ARTICLE DETAILS ABSTRACT Research Paper Received: 18.06.25 Accepted:24.06. 25 Published: 30/06/25 Keywords: Elementary Teachers, Government Schools, Private Schools, Computer Proficiency . This study investigates the digital divide among educators in Durg (C.G.) India (C.G.) India, focusing on computer proficiency disparities between elementary school teachers in government and private schools. A survey design with a sample of 100 teachers reveals a significant difference, with private school teachers demonstrating a higher level of proficiency compared to their government school counterparts.This gap necessitates targeted interventions. The research proposes professional development programs specifically tailored to address skill gaps among government school teachers. Beyond teacher training, the study emphasises the importance of equitable access to technology resources, software, and internet connectivity for all schools. It highlights the need to ensure all students benefit from technology-integrated learning experiences.The research concludes by advocating for further exploration of these themes in broader contexts. By understanding these disparities and their solutions, we can develop effective strategies to equip all educators with the necessary technological skills for the future, ultimately ensuring equitable access to technology-integrated learning environments for all elementary school students. |
