UNESCO
UNESCO actively contributed to the shaping of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals—adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2015; it gives pride of place to the fundamental contribution of quality, inclusive education at all levels and to the importance of lifelong learning opportunities for all (SDG 4).
In actual fact, paragraph 4.4 states that:
"Culture enhances access to education and ensures more locally relevant curricula, textbooks and teaching methods. Quality education should nurture the appreciation of cultural diversity and provide youth with the knowledge and skills for decent jobs and entrepreneurship in creative industry sectors".
Under these premises, the information paper A Global Framework of Reference on Digital Literacy Skills for Indicator 4.4.2 conducted a systematic search in 47 countries in order to provide meaningful guidelines for the provision of training, monitoring and assessment of digital literacy associated with employment, decent jobs and entrepreneurship in disparate contextual settings.
