Integrating digital literacy in township schools presents several challenges:


Infrastructure

Many schools lack reliable access to computers, internet connectivity, and other essential technologies.



Training

Teachers may not have the necessary skills or training to effectively teach digital literacy, limiting students' exposure to technology.


Fund Allocation: 

Limited funding often prioritizes basic educational needs over technological investments.


Socioeconomic Barriers: 


Many students may not have access to digital devices at home, hindering their ability to practice skills outside of school.


Curriculum Development: 

There may be a lack of tailored curriculum that addresses the specific needs and contexts of township schools.


Community Support



Engaging parents and the community in the importance of digital literacy can be challenging, affecting overall support for initiatives.

Addressing these challenges requires a collaborative effort between schools, governments, NGOs, and the community to create a sustainable and effective approach to digital literacy.
