A new political agenda for education in Europe
“43% of the EU population has low levels of digital education, and 17% are
lacking any digital skills, which puts them at serious risk of exclusion.
Expanding digital education opportunities is a priority. […]
The main goal of all our efforts, however, needs to be to equip the young
generations with strong digital skills. We can help achieve this for example
through focusing on digital literacy, computer science and informatics for all, so
that children and young people understand and deal critically with digital
technology – both in terms of its promises but also its dangers. The world is
already digital, so are our children, but our education is not yet there.”
Marta Gabriel, Commissioner for Education
European Commission, October 2019.
