The analysis examines the primary education systems, digital infrastructure, and cultural perspectives, uncovering the diverse landscapes that shape the implementation and outcomes of digital literacy initiatives. Furthermore, the study identifies common challenges and opportunities, providing insights into the strategies employed and recommendations for enhancing program effectiveness. Through a systematic exploration, this research contributes valuable perspectives on the role of digital literacy in shaping the socioeconomic trajectories of primary education in Southeast Asia.
