Which challenge does the increase of digital learning environments present to primary schools?

Question

Options

• ASchools are not deploying enough wired and wireless IoT devices for the digital learning
• BSchools often have too large of an IT department, which can result in a network that is too
• CSchools lack the budget to obtain a reliable wired and wireless network that can handle the
• DSchools have focused primarily on cloud solutions for the past decade, so switching back to an on-

• A
  18% (5)
• B
  7% (2)
• C
  71% (20)
• D
  4% (1)

Explanation

Option C is correct because primary schools typically operate on tight budgets, making it difficult to build and maintain the robust wired and wireless infrastructure needed to support the high device density and bandwidth demands of digital learning environments.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is backwards - the challenge is under-deployment of infrastructure to support IoT/digital devices, not a shortage of the devices themselves.
• B is incorrect because primary schools generally have small or understaffed IT departments, not oversized ones; a larger IT team would typically be an advantage.
• D is a fabricated scenario - primary schools haven't predominantly used on-premises solutions for a decade that they'd need to "switch back to"; cloud adoption and on-premises needs coexist.

Memory tip: Think of the acronym Budget → Bandwidth → Barrier. The core challenge in school digitalization is almost always financial - schools want reliable connectivity but can't afford to build or upgrade the network infrastructure to handle it. When in doubt, money is the limiting factor in public education technology questions.
