Job organizational context:

Prior to the COVID-19 crisis, UNICEF Viet Nam was addressing the digital divide by integrating digital literacy into the curriculum and teacher training, in particular targeting interventions for boys and girls from ethnic minorities. The crisis has accelerated that work and UNICEF increased its advocacy for investment in and prioritization of internet connectivity in rural and underserved areas. UNICEF Viet Nam is furthermore supporting: the provision of technology to disadvantaged communities; the development and promotion of child-friendly usage of digital tools by teachers and school managers; strengthening the digital skills base of children and youth and of parents/caregivers; and skills and knowledge transmission for protection of children and youth on-line.
