The ministry’s representative likened assessing digital literacy to developing a house, stating both involve the establishment of a structure, pillars, and a roofing.
Developing the foundation implies that the state must provide adequate facilities and environment for the digital area to develop, Permadi said.
Next, pillars are needed to be installed, he notified. There are at least three pillars that can be established on the structure of the digital infrastructure and community– digital literacy, empowerment, and work opportunities, he included.

Digital literacy evaluation– as the roof– completes the foundations and pillars by examining the success of the country in preparing its people in the digital era, he said.
Hence, it is not only the government who should play an active role in making the national digital literacy movement a success, but also the neighborhood and other organizations, he added.
This would help Indonesia accomplish an excellent digital literacy index in the future, he stated.
According to the 2021 Digital Literacy Index survey carried out by the ministry on a digital literacy social movement platform, SiBerkreasi, and online media and research study company Katadata, Indonesia has a moderate level of digital literacy, with a rating of 3.49 out of 5 points.
