Since 2023, Uruguay has become one of the countries that have explicitly incorporated Media and Information Literacy (MIL) into its educational curriculum. MIL encompasses a set of competencies that equip citizens to engage critically and ethically with information and the media. This article examines how MIL has been integrated into the curricular documents of integrated basic education, focusing on its conceptualization and the presence of related learning objectives through a content analysis. Although the term MIL is explicitly mentioned in the “Communication and Society” unit of ninth grade, curricular objectives linked to these competencies have been identified from early childhood education through secondary education. However, clarifying the relationship between the different terms used in official documentation is essential for a better understanding of the scope and implications of MIL
