Government officials, including civil servants (PNS), the Indonesian National Police (Polri), and the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI), demonstrate significantly better proficiency in information and communication technology (ICT) compared to the general public and the education sector.
This finding is documented in a survey report, a collaboration between the Ministry of Communication and Informatics (Kominfo) and the Katadata Insight Center (KIC), titled "Status Literasi Digital di Indonesia 2022" (Indonesia's Digital Literacy Status 2022).
The report reveals that the government sector achieved the highest overall digital literacy index in 2022, followed by the education sector (lecturers, teachers, students) and the general public.
"The survey shows that the government/TNI/Polri segment has a high index score of 3.74. Meanwhile, workers and students in the education segment have an index score of 3.7, and the general public segment has an index score of 3.5," stated the Kominfo Ministry team in their report.
The government sector excelled in three out of four pillars of the digital literacy index.
In the *Digital Culture* pillar, the government sector scored 3.94, followed by the education sector (3.85) and the general public (3.84).
For the *Digital Skill* pillar, the government sector scored 3.86, followed by the education sector (3.84) and the general public (3.45).
In the *Digital Ethics* pillar, the government sector scored 3.71, the general public 3.69, and the education sector 3.62.
However, in the *Digital Safety* pillar, the education sector achieved the highest score at 3.49. The government sector scored 3.46, while the general public scored only 3.04.
The Kominfo Ministry and KIC surveyed 10,000 internet users aged 13-70 across 34 provinces and 514 regencies/cities in Indonesia. The sample comprised 51% male and 49% female respondents.
The survey, conducted from August to September 2022, utilized face-to-face interviews and a multistage random sampling method. The margin of error was approximately 0.98%, with a 95% confidence interval.
Respondents represented diverse backgrounds, including housewives, entrepreneurs, employees, students, farmers, and others. The complete survey report can be accessed and downloaded at https://survei.literasidigital.id/.
