Lost in Digital? 4 in 10 Teens Say They’re Not Ready
Jul 9, 2025

A new UK report reveals that 37% of young people aged 16–30 are worried they lack the digital skills needed to secure future jobs, while 41% say they don’t even know which digital skills are most important. Despite growing up with smartphones and social media, many teens still struggle with basic digital literacy—like evaluating online content, using productivity tools, or understanding how AI works. This digital confidence gap risks leaving thousands of young people behind in an economy where nearly every profession demands some level of digital know-how. Experts stress the need for structured, inclusive digital education programs—starting as early as primary school!

AI or Fall Behind!
Jul 2, 2025

A recent survey revealed that 58% of parents and 67% of teachers believe that children who don’t learn about artificial intelligence will be at a disadvantage in their future careers. Despite this strong belief, only 26% of educators say they feel prepared to teach AI-related topics in the classroom. The gap between expectations and readiness is growing, especially as AI becomes a core skill across industries. Parents are increasingly advocating for AI literacy to be included in school curricula, recognizing its importance alongside reading and math. Some schools have started integrating basic AI concepts through digital literacy or computer science lessons, but coverage remains inconsistent. Experts warn that without immediate investment in teacher training and curriculum development, a generation of students may fall behind in essential digital competencies.
