Abstract

Digital literacy is increasingly important for primary school students in Africa, where technology use is rapidly expanding. A qualitative study involving focus group discussions with educators and students to assess programme needs and effectiveness. The programme was well-received by teachers, but student engagement varied significantly across different schools. Further research is needed to refine the digital literacy programmes for broader implementation in Senegalese primary schools. Educators should tailor the curriculum based on local needs and resources to maximise impact.
