Hessen's Digital World Program Expands to 80 Schools by 2026
Hessen's Digital World program is expanding steadily across schools. Launched as a pilot in the 2022/2023 school year, it now reaches more students each term. The initiative focuses on teaching essential IT and digital skills to young learners. The program first ran in twelve secondary schools during its pilot phase. By the 2025/2026 school year, 80 schools will take part. Some have already embedded it into their full-day timetables.
Education Minister Armin Schwarz has made digital skills and media literacy a key priority. The scheme targets fifth and sixth graders, using existing full-day funding. Teachers receive a detailed guide, lesson materials, and self-study modules to support delivery.
The aim is to ensure all young people develop foundational digital knowledge. Schools are building on earlier initiatives to improve the quality of digital education. Interest in the program has grown since its early trials. The Digital World program continues to expand, with 80 schools involved by 2025/2026. It operates within full-day school structures, offering wider access to digital learning. The focus remains on equipping students with practical IT and media skills.
