Maine ranks fifth nationally in quality Internet connections in schools
A new report places Maine fifth nationally in equipping its schools with quality Internet connections.
A 2015 report on the state of broadband connections at K-12 schools across America puts Maine behind Wyoming, Hawaii, South Dakota and Connecticut.
“Digital learning has the power to transform education in this country, but that can’t happen without first connecting all of our students to high-speed internet,” Evan Marwell, CEO of EducationSuperHighway, the advocacy nonprofit that prepared the study, told the Bangor Daily News.
The study found that in Maine 97% of school districts meet the U.S. Federal Communications Commission’s recommendation for schools to have 100 kilobits per second data transfer speeds available to each student. The BDN noted that measurement helped Maine and several other states benefit in the rankings because their school sizes are small.
