Digital literacy bill

Senator Nyamu has introduced a bill in parliament that makes it compulsory for learners to undertake a digital literacy courses.

This, according to the senator, will go a long way in equipping the young population to meet the demands of the current job market.

She also wants an assessment of all civil servants to ensure they are all digital literate.

“As a senator, I am publishing a bill on digital skills and this forum could not have come at a better time as we need as a country to collaborate with institutions like ICDL who have specialized in digital skills to support the government agenda towards a digital economy,” said Nyamu.

The senator, who is also a member of the ICT committee in the Senate, believes that digital literacy among the youth and civil servants is pertinent in ensuring Kenya remains competitive in the ever dynamic global village.

“We need a workforce that is digitally literate for enhanced productivity,” the senator explained.

“We also need to equip our university and TVET graduates with the skills to enhance their employability and focus on them becoming job creators rather than job seekers,” said Nyamu.

She was speaking during the International Computer Driving License (ICDL) Africa accredited Test Centre, ATC, forum that brought together various partners who shared their experiences in implementing ICDL in various insitutions.
