Organic Law 3/2020, which amends Organic Law 2/2006 on Education, represents a significant update to Spain’s education system, emphasising the development of digital skills as essential and transversal for all students. The law mandates the integration of digital competence into all educational stages, aiming to foster critical digital capabilities and active participation in society. It introduces a renewed curriculum structure, with digital skills and programming knowledge incorporated as compulsory content. The law also supports the digital transformation of schools by requiring each institution to develop a digital plan and by providing digital devices and resources, particularly to students from vulnerable groups.
