Abstract: The Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) course in Mexico has played a fundamental role in strengthening digital literacy since 2022. Its implementation sought to provide students with tools to interpret, analyse and create digital content in the educational context. In the wake of the pandemic, the government promoted digitisation strategies, although challenges such as the digital divide and lack of infrastructure in some regions persisted. It was observed that, at secondary level, students initially used ICT passively, but with the inclusion of more structured programmes, more participatory and critical learning was promoted. The use of artificial intelligence and personalised digital platforms made it possible to improve efficiency in the teaching process, facilitating the adaptation of content to individual needs. In addition, teacher training was promoted to ensure the effective integration of technology in the classroom. However, resistance to change persisted in certain communities. Despite these barriers, the incorporation of constructivist methodologies and progressive access to technology have enabled students to develop stronger digital skills, essential for their academic and professional development. The digitalisation of education in Mexico continues to evolve and will shape the future of learning.
