Romano “In Europe digital illiteracy at 56 percent”

ROME (ITALPRESS) – “In Europe, the percentage of digital illiteracy is at 56 percent. A figure as surprising as it is unacceptable. Action must be taken to reverse the trend if we do not want to relegate our young people to marginality and unemployment.” Thus Saverio Romano, president of the Bicameral Commission for Simplification, in giving news of two hearings the body held. The first with Prefect Bruno Frattasi, director general of the National Cybersecurity Agency (Acn), and the second with Giovanni Anastasi, president of Formez Pa. “Two meetings,” commented President Romano, “of great depth and usefulness for the Commission, which gathered data offered by the top management of two important entities. One above all: that relating to digital illiteracy, which in Europe reaches 56 percent. How to counter it? With the Syllabus platform,” Romano explained, “which delivers courses in the webinar mode and which today only employees of the public administration can use. I proposed to broaden the audience and extend it to students as well, involving schools.” Among the other topics covered during the two hearings were “the state of the art on the cybersecurity front and on that of the efficiency of the national digital ecosystem, training and the topic of artificial intelligence on which, thanks to dl 1146 in the Senate, we will get into the merits of developments, applications, powers and regulations.”
