Abstract: Digital literacy, encompassing the ability to proficiently utilize digital tools, access and evaluate information, and communicate within the digital landscape, is crucial in the 21st century. However, many high school students in the Philippines exhibit low levels of digital literacy, even as technology becomes more integrated into education. This paper examines the main causes of poor digital literacy among Filipino high school students, highlighting factors such as socioeconomic disparities, limited technological access, lack of adequate teacher training, outdated education policies, and social and cultural factors. Recognizing these challenges is essential for bridging the digital divide and ensuring equitable access to digital skills for all students.
