"Digital skills, The Why, the What and the How" - World Bank

This Methodological Guidebook is a resource to help countries prepare a Digital Skills Country Action Plan for higher education and technical vocational education (TVET), which focuses on the rapid development of Digital Skills amongst young people through coordinated strategies on several fronts.

The Digital Skills Country Action Plan will set goals up to ten years with measurable targets and lay out strategies, activities, costs, and a detailed implementation plan covering the period five years to achieve these goals and targets. Preparation of a costed Plan will help countries to set priorities in how to train young people at scale in digital skills, in line with current and projected future demand. The plan would also provide countries with a roadmap to achieve their goals and enable them to identify the resources that are required.

While the focus is on developing digital skills proficiency at the intermediate and advanced levels for students in higher education and TVET, its approach can also be adapted to school education.
