Welcome to the DSD-Project! The Department of Basic Education (DBE) and the British Council are using a whole-of-society approach to create digital standards for the basic education sector in the course of 2023. You can find out more about this project on the website:
In the past 6 months, the project brought together many different stakeholders to co-create these digital standards. We are now at a stage where we need to reflect on the draft standards, decide which needs to be adopted, which still need editing, and which should rather be discarded.
Please work through the standards in this form. Vote for each standard using the scale:
> Adopt
> Adopt but more editing is needed
> Discard (not needed)
