Digital Literacy

The ability to safely, responsibly, and effectively use digital technologies — including evaluating online information, protecting privacy, and recognising digital threats.

Digital literacy goes beyond knowing how to use a device. It encompasses critical thinking about online content, understanding privacy settings, recognising scams and misinformation, creating strong passwords, and behaving responsibly in digital spaces. For Malaysian children, digital literacy is an essential life skill as the country rapidly digitises education, commerce, and government services.
