This article marks Education Technology Day by arguing that it should be used as a moment to confront the growing problem of prison education and digital exclusion. It highlights how organisations working in prison tech and education are warning that many inmates are still being left without adequate access to digital learning tools, making it harder for them to build skills needed for life after release. The piece focuses on the idea that education, especially digital education, can play a key role in reducing reoffending and improving rehabilitation outcomes. It also reflects broader calls for more coordinated action between government and education providers to ensure prisoners are not excluded from the digital world, both during and after their sentences.
