A significant internet outage impacted 115 public schools in Brooklyn and Queens on Monday, as a damaged fiber optic cable disrupted connectivity. Education and union officials confirmed that the loss of internet service forced schools to revert to traditional, non-technology-based learning methods for the day.
Teachers and students faced challenges as they adapted to lessons without the usual online resources and digital tools. Many educators had to rely on printed materials and face-to-face instruction, which highlighted the reliance on technology in modern classrooms.
Officials are currently investigating the cause of the cable damage and working to restore service as quickly as possible. In the meantime, schools are implementing contingency plans to ensure that students can continue their education with minimal disruption. The incident serves as a reminder of the vulnerabilities in the infrastructure that supports digital learning in urban education systems.
