The minister of research, innovation and digitalization, Sebastian Burduja, says that eight in ten Romanians don’t have digital abilities
The minister of research, innovation and digitalization, Sebastian Burduja, says that eight in ten Romanians don’t have digital abilities. He also says that, for this reason, the state must prepare citizens for the digitalization process, counting on a series of partnerships with the local authorities an the Romanian Postal Services.
Sebastian Burduja: It’s useless to offer online public services, for example, a criminal record, if a Romanian who is being asked for such a document doesn’t know how to access a site, how to download, how to use a smart device. For this great challenge, to prepare a basic level of digital abilities, we count on partnerships with the local public administration, the private environment, the great technological companies, the Romanian National Company for Postal Services. Mailmen have also started to gain digital abilities. For example, when they enter Romanians’ homes, they can show them how to use ghişeul.ro, how to make an account, how to get a criminal record online./aionita
