Dar es Salaam. Education experts in Tanzania have said the country must urgently rethink its understanding of literacy if it is to prepare young people for the realities of the digital era.
They said, in today’s world, being able to read and write is no longer enough to be called literate. From navigating digital platforms to interpreting images and cultural symbols, literacy now extends far beyond textbooks and classrooms.
