DIGITAL LITERACY

Educating children improves their financial security, overall well-being, increases productivity and in turn contributes more products and services to the global economy. Basic primary education is a fundamental right achieved through eradication of illiteracy but fundamental literacy and numeracy remains a dream for most people. Even the literates are not conversant with the tricky nature of changing technology. Digital Literacy helps build confidence and self-esteem that enables one to aspire a decent livelihood and a dignified position in society through the right use of Technology, based on the right skills acquired at the right time.
