Digital literacy is about education and
workforce preparedness in a competitive global
economy. It is also key to a full and successful
life in the 21st Century. Children, youth, young
adults, workers, and families, each require an
understanding and mastery of basic digital
literacy skills to effectively participate in a
global knowledge-based society. The importance
of addressing digital literacy for children in
schools, the community and workforce at large,
along with individuals at home, cannot be
understated. Basic digital literacy is becoming
more integrated into all aspects of our daily
lives - such as access to educational
opportunities, health and medical services,
banking and consumer services, e-government
services, and for
applying Green ICT solutions to global
environmental challenges.
The
“digital divide” in ICT literacy remains a
global reality. This reality has prompted the
partners involved in this effort to collaborate
on actions at the national and international
level for bridging the digital divide. They have
recognized a priority need to achieve ICT
literacy worldwide - thus fostering “digital
opportunity” for the children and the workforce
of the new millennium.
