Pepe Di’Iasio, General Secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, comments on a report from AQA looking at ways to improve digital literacy in schools.
“Digital literacy is so important in helping young people navigate a world in which technology continues to evolve at an extraordinary pace. Schools have a key role to play in preparing students for this, and the opportunities and risks it brings.
“AQA’s report is therefore particularly timely, and clearly demonstrates how digital literacy could be embedded across the curriculum. The report not only makes a persuasive case for why digital literacy is important, but offers a roadmap for implementing it effectively. We hope policymakers will give it careful consideration.”
