Abstract:
In modern society, digital competence is of great importance for both adults and children. In a world where half of the population lives and works online, where 70% of the population is aged 15-24, the ability of citizens to make the most of digital and Internet opportunities has become very important. This is even more important for children, as children tend to spend more time online than adults and so they will benefit more from and take more risks online. Furthermore, investing in children's digital literacy means creating a future generation of more responsible, workable, and tolerant citizens. However, developing this capacity for ethnic minority students in Vietnam still faces many difficulties. The article presents research results on the concept of digital competence, factors affecting the ability to develop digital competence of 9th grade students who are ethnic minorities, the current situation, and some solutions to develop digital competence. There are digital resources for 9th grade students who are ethnic minorities in the northern mountainous areas of Vietnam.
