The European Unions concern for the basic training for Information Society has also brought together Media Education and Digital CompetenceThe European Unions concern for the basic training for Information Society has also brought together experts and policymakers to consider digital competence as one of the eight key competences that young people should have developed by the end of initial education and training to a level that equips them for adult life. The Commission has developed aEuropean Reference Frameworkthatsets out these eight key competences that should also be further developed, maintained and updated as part of lifelong learning: communication in the mother tongue; communication in the foreign languages; mathematical competence and basic competences in science and technology; digital competence; learning to learn; interpersonal, intercultural and social competences and civic competence; entrepreneurship, and cultural expression.
