Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path

The non-profit bodies this week launched a report entitled A Digital Nation by 2020, in which they called for industry, government and other charities to continue investing in digital literacy-related initiatives over the next six years.

On average, the cost of teaching someone basic online skills ranges from just £49 to £319, the publication claimed.

Latest Office for National Statistics figures show that in the last two years, more than 1.5 million adults began using the internet for the first time.
