Les citoyens sont la première richesse d’un territoire. Les Wallons doivent devenir les acteurs de la transformation numérique par l’acquisition des compétences technologiques et l’adoption des comportements entrepreneuriaux indispensables pour le développement économique et social.
Les compétences liées à l’utilisation, à la compréhension et à la production de contenus numériques sont aujourd’hui incluses dans le concept de "littératie numérique" adopté par l’OCDE qui le définit comme "l’aptitude à comprendre et à utiliser le numérique dans la vie courante, à la maison, au travail et dans la collectivité en vue d’atteindre des buts personnels et d’étendre ses compétences et capacités".
Aujourd’hui, le niveau de maîtrise numérique est en moyenne trop faible chez les Wallons. Il est indispensable de compléter le socle des compétences par un apprentissage systématique des compétences et concepts liés à la science numérique. Il s’agit notamment de la connaissance des principes de base de l’algorithmique, de la programmation, de la gestion des données, souvent résumée, de façon trop restrictive, par le terme "apprendre le codage".

Work environments in the near future are expected to feature more autonomy, less routine, more use of ICT, reduced physical effort and increased social and intellectual tasks.
Less routine work, more ICT
Projections point to a general reduction in physical tasks and an increase in intellectual and social ones. These require communication skills, entrepreneurship and other key competences in areas such as selling/persuading and serving/attending/caring.
They also show a continued and considerable increase in demand for ICT skills as the pace of innovation in the application of information and communication technologies – productivity-enhancing technological change – is expected to accelerate further in the coming decades.

Facts: Belgium’s labour force is becoming more highly qualified. By 2025, the share of those with high-level qualifications should rise to 47.5% compared to 40.2% in 2013 and 35.6% in 2005. People with medium-level qualifications in 2025 will be the same as in 2013, around 40.1% of the labour force. The share with low-level or no qualifications is forecast to fall from 19.7% in 2013 to 12.4% in 2025.
Problem: In Belgium, in 2013, 11% of young people left the education and training system with low-level qualifications, above the national target of less than 9.5% by 2020. In the EU, the average, in 2013, was 11.9%, still higher than its benchmark of less than 10 % of young people leaving the education and training system with low-level qualifications by 2020.

Le numérique constitue un facteur déterminant pour la compétitivité de notre économie et un gisement de croissance considérable. Les TIC contribuent dans une large mesure à cette croissance par l’effet d’entrainement qu’elles produisent sur l’ensemble des secteurs de l’économie.
Selon le plan, la Belgique doit pouvoir atteindre trois objectifs phares à l’horizon 2020 :
Dans un monde où les technologies jouent un rôle sans cesse croissant, la maîtrise des compétences numériques revêt une importance cruciale. Dans le sillage de l’initiative européenne portant sur la mise en place d’une grande coalition autour de l’emploi dans les TIC, la Belgique a établi le plan « Digital Champions.be » visant à acquérir et développer les compétences numériques des enfants, des élèves, des étudiants et des adultes.
