As we enter the digital age, the role of digital literacy in education has become increasingly important. Digital literacy refers to the ability to use technology effectively and responsibly to access, evaluate, and communicate information. In the context of education, it encompasses the skills required to navigate online learning platforms, interact with digital tools, and collaborate in virtual environments. While technology continues to revolutionize education, the need for digital literacy has Выпуск журнала №-27 Часть–3_Июнь –2025 186 MODERN EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT become a significant challenge for both educators and students. This paper aims to explore the challenges and opportunities associated with fostering digital literacy in education and its impact on teaching and learning practices.One of the primary challenges in promoting digital literacy is unequal access to technology. Not all students have access to the devices, software, and internet connectivity needed to participate in digital learning. In underprivileged areas, students often face technological barriers that hinder their ability to gain digital literacy skills. This digital divide not only affects students' learning experiences but also exacerbates educational inequalities. As noted by Greenhow & Lewin (2021), "The digital divide persists as one of the most pressing challenges in modern education, limiting access to digital tools and resources" (p. 76).Many educators lack the necessary training and expertise to teach digital literacy effectively. While some teachers may be comfortable with using technology, others struggle to integrate digital tools into their teaching practices. Without adequate professional development, teachers may not be able to effectively guide students in acquiring digital literacy skills. Additionally, the rapidly changing nature of technology means that educators must constantly update their skills to keep pace with new developments. As Johnson & Anderson (2022) suggest, "Teacher readiness for digital literacy instruction remains an ongoing concern, with many educators lacking the proper tools and training to incorporate digital skills into the curriculum" (p. 20).The growing reliance on digital tools and online platforms has led to concerns about digital overload. With an increasing number of resources, apps, and platforms available to students, it can be difficult to know which tools are most effective for enhancing learning. Overuse of digital tools can lead to distractions, reduced face-to-face interaction, and a lack of engagement. Balancing digital and traditional learning methods remains a challenge for educators and students alike. According to Lee & Park (2019), "The sheer volume of digital resources and tools can overwhelm both students and educa
