EU-Studie: Lücken bei der digitalen Kompetenz von 14-Jährigen
Eine Studie der Europäischen Kommission zeigt, dass 43 % der 14-jährigen Schüler in der EU nicht über grundlegende digitale Kenntnisse verfügen. Schüler aus höheren sozioökonomischen Schichten schneiden durchweg besser ab als ihre Altersgenossen, was den Einfluss des elterlichen Bildungsniveaus und der häuslichen Ressourcen unterstreicht. Bemerkenswert ist, dass Mädchen im Durchschnitt 7,9 % besser abschneiden als Jungen, obwohl nur 20 % der IKT-Spezialisten in der EU Frauen sind. (Europäische Kommission, Europäischer Bildungsraum)
In April 2025, Meta announced new safety measures for teen users on Instagram, requiring parental permission for those under 16 to go live or to disable the blurring of suspected nudity in direct messages. These updates aim to enhance protections for young users, addressing concerns about online safety and exposure to inappropriate content. Meta is also extending these safeguards to Facebook and Messenger, including default private settings, restrictions on messages from unknown users, and reminders to take breaks after 60 minutes of app usage. These changes are part of Meta's ongoing efforts to enhance protections for young users, first introduced through its teen account program launched in September.

In the U.S., more than 250 tech and business leaders—including from Microsoft and LinkedIn—have joined forces to push for computer science and AI to become required subjects in all schools. Why? Because they believe today’s kids need more than just basic digital skills—they need to understand how technology works to succeed in the future. Right now, only 12 states require coding in schools, even though it’s becoming as essential as reading and math. Experts say early access to these subjects can boost future job opportunities and help close the tech gap. At Logiscool, we’ve known this all along—learning to code isn’t just about tech, it’s about unlocking confidence, creativity, and lifelong skills.
