1. What is DCS?

Digital Competency Score (DCS) is a gamified instrument to assess digital competency levels of students in
three(3) domains, namely Technology, Cognitive and Digital Citizenship.
Students in selected primary and secondary schools from all over the country sit for DCS every year. The
findings are summarised and presented to the Ministry of Education (MOE).
