Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Digital Literacy in Adults: Discussion
Mr. George Ryan:
Also we need to invest in mission-driven or advocacy-driven groups, so one can have groups concerned about an area or about an issue. We need to digitally empower them in different ways, and as my colleague said, maybe this can become the starting point for rolling this into a really effective and strong policy that we do not have at the moment and that we absolutely need. We need to be at the top of the class like Sweden and New Zealand, which are in pole position. I would like us to go ahead of others that are ahead of us at the moment, including England, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands. Why can we not be ahead of them as such a rich, digitally empowered economy?
