Description
Summary:The eSkills IT Fitness test was conducted again in Slovakia after two years. We picked out the data from 34,775 respondents, analyzed them and compared the results with our last testing findings. We focused on young generation aged 15-24 and tracked the IT skills development in students mainly at primary and secondary schools. We also compared the results of the students of different types of secondary schools. Some of the positive findings showed an improvement in this area, e.g. on secondary grammar schools or secondary vocational schools. There were also some less encouraging findings, which lead to reflection about the efficiency of ongoing educational reform, proper curricula and IT skills of teachers on certain types of schools.
