      <abstract>
        <p>This study analyses the charging role of data literacy for general education teachers in the digital age, and highlights the need for</p>
        <p>educators to be attentive to the feedback data generated by various educational platforms and the emergence of data literacy as a crucial</p>
        <p>competency. Recognising the importance of data literacy in a variety of domains, it highlights the challenges that teachers face</p>
        <p>in using data for effective teaching, as teachers play a crucial role in data-driven learning, and make informed pedagogical decisions</p>
        <p>based on data interpretation and analysis. The study aims to analyse the theoretical foundations, highlighting the implications of</p>
        <p>data literacy for teaching practice and the quality of education. It concludes that effective and equitable education in the digital era</p>
        <p>requires the inclusion of teachers’ data literacy skills, and the promotion of a broader public understanding of the interaction between</p>
        <p>data, education and student outcomes.</p>
