## Resource

Queensland’s year 10 students are falling behind in digital skills—two-thirds aren’t meeting basic tech competency standards, even though they think they’re tech-savvy. Proficiency has dropped 10% since 2022, continuing a decade-long decline, leaving them four points below the national average. While younger kids use computers more, older students lag, and even university students blindly trust AI output. Parents are split—some embrace tech, others prefer pen and paper. The state’s education department is now pushing AI literacy and mandatory tech courses to reverse the trend. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
