Digital skills support learning, communication, creativity and participation in an increasingly technology-driven world.

Digi Curriculum Grades 3–6 helps learners become more confident and capable users of technology.

It may also be suitable for older learners who need to develop these foundational digital skills.Learners who are not native English speakers should be able to meet the English-language demands of preparing for and completing the Digi Curriculum Grade 6 assessment.
