Digital literacy is a must-mastered competency for the majority of global citizens due to its power to support diverse skills development. However, a large number of Indonesians are still lacking it, especially those who live in villages. The hit become harder once the Covid19 pandemic occurred, forcing students to rely on themselves to study through online modes without prior sufficient training. This paper is assessing the current state of secondary school students’ digital literacy skills and analyzes the opportunities for enhancement by given facts. Mix method of both quantitative and qualitative is used in this study which involves 28 both junior high and senior high school students, who voluntarily work in a local mosque, as respondents of digital literacy level survey. Focused Group Discussion (FGD) was conducted to delve further elaboration on real conditions faced by students. Finally, we proposed some approaches to improve students’ digital literacy. © 2023 American Institute of Physics Inc.. All rights reserved.
