This paper aims to address the preparation of students for their digital skills in relation to media literacy and information technology. The research was conducted at the country level with students aged 11-15 years with 600 respondents from primary and secondary schools in Kosovo. The results show that most of them believe that the inclusion of the subject of “Media and Information Literacy” would help them in developing the necessary skills to properly use the new technology available. A survey was used as a working method, with the aim of obtaining results that tested the main hypothesis of the paper. The main theoretical approaches for media and information literacy are addressed in this paper, in order to contextualize the research and link it with the aspect of scientific theoretical treatments. The case study has extracted data for the first time on this issue in Kosovo, a country where the extent of the Internet access is the largest in the Western Balkans region.
