Abstract

Digital Literacy is a continuation of the independent learning program during the era of Nadim Makariem^s &#8203-&#8203-leadership as Minister of Education in Indonesia. Literacy and numeracy are explained in detail in various strategic policies in the independent learning program. This research was conducted qualitatively in which information was gathered from the head of the association of principals of East Jakarta Private Elementary Schools at the city level and the opinion of the head of the sub-district level, interestingly the two informants had different backgrounds, including principals who indicated Millennials and one colonial school principal. From these two points of view, there are two different perspectives, some of which mean that some consider digital literacy programs to be considered not too urgent, some are struggling to keep pace with the times, some are mediocre because they are used to dealing with technological devices. However, the authors argue that literacy in the digital space is a necessity that must be adapted to the educational climate in Indonesia. Literacy will advance the quality of education for students and teachers.
