We welcome the inclusion of enhanced digital and media literacy in the new curriculum.

Conclusion
We welcome the inclusion of enhanced digital and media literacy in the new curriculum. It should be embedded consistently across education settings and equip children with the skills to identify, analyse and scrutinise online 53 content, including the operation of algorithms and AI-generated material.
