Data literacy is the combination of skills and mindsets that allows individuals to find insights and meaning within their data to enable effective, data-informed decision-making.

Data literacy refers to the ability to understand, interpret, and communicate with data. It encompasses a range of skills, including the ability to read and interpret data visualizations, understand statistical concepts, and critically evaluate data sources. In an era where data is increasingly omnipresent, data literacy is no longer a nice-to-have skill but a necessity for individuals in all walks of life.
