AB Media and Information Literacy (MIL) was explicitly incorporated into the Integrated BasicEducation Curriculum of Uruguay in 2023. This article aims to analyze teachers' perceptionsregarding this integration, considering four dimensions: a) curricular space; b) concept and scope;c) resources and key actors; and e) challenges and opportunities. To achieve this, a two-sessiontechnopedagogical experience was designed, involving 33 teachers from early, primary, secondary,and high school education from 10 departments across the country. Among the most significantfindings, it is noteworthy that: a) teachers identify the lack of familiarity with the term MIL as theprimary challenge for its integration, followed by the absence of specific training in the subject,particularly at the early educational levels; b) there is a predominant perception of MIL as a tool toaddress specific issues in the media environment, such as misinformation and digital fraud, ratherthan as a means to cultivate critical, informed, and creative citizens; and c) the Ceibal Center isrecognized as the most committed key actor in promoting this type of education at the nationallevel. Thus, the intention is to provide researchers, educators, and policymakers with up-to-dateinformation regarding the configuration of this educational policy
