Every Member State needs a Digital Champion! « Digital Agenda Commissioner – Neelie Kroes | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
The economy of the future is digital. Already today it’s hard to think of many jobs where familiarity with computers and the Internet is not helpful: in the near future, 90% of jobs will require some level of digital literacy.

They would work with education authorities, industry, and grassroots activists; independent of central government, but reporting to it.
