About the project
Diia.Education — Ukrainian Edutainment Platform for Reskilling and Digital Literacy
Here, everyone can gain important knowledge free of charge for their own success
Diia.Education is the next milestone in the evolution of the project Diia.Digital Education. It started in 2020 and was focused on digital literacy and digital skills.
According to the survey, in 2021, after the launch of Diia.Education over 2,5 mln people with basic digital skills or without them leveled up their skills.
Now the great goal of Diia.Education is not only to make a breakthrough in digital knowledge but in skills and abilities relevant to the modern world in general.
Key terms of modern education
Lifelong learning
This term means the continuous acquisition of new knowledge and the development of new skills. The modern world is changing too fast for what you learn at school or university to remain relevant for long. Nowadays, we need to learn in order to grow constantly. Diia.Education allows everyone to access the best educational practices to make lifelong learning a pleasant and easy habit
Upskilling/Reskilling
Upskilling is about improving your skills. Diia.Education has dozens of educational series that will help you become even better at your chosen field. Reskilling, on the other hand, is a "change of skill", i.e. learning a new direction. Select a completely unfamiliar profession and become a pro in it!
Simulators
The simulator is an innovative method in education. In Diia.Education simulators, everyone can experience the features of different professions through stories that people of the respective professions or roles regularly encounter in real life
IT-Studios
We are updating computer science for schoolchildren. The subject will cover digital literacy, media creativity, programming, and data analysis and will include elements of gamification, research and project-based approaches, question-based learning, and the use of various types of information resources to solve problems. IT studios have been piloted in 50 schools, and starting in September 2023, 4 million schoolchildren will be taught using the materials of "Updated computer science - IT Studios"
Digigram
Digigram is a comprehensive digital literacy test. The tasks are based on European standards and adapted by Ukrainian experts. The certificate of completion of the Digigram has already become an important addition to a professional's resume as proof of digital literacy. To prove your English skills, an employer needs you to pass IELTS or TOEFL. And to prove your digital skills, it's enough to take the Digigram
Digital skills research
Diia.Education regularly conducts digital skills surveys in Ukraine: the first one was held in 2019, the next one in 2021, and we will conduct a new one in 2023.
Among the key conclusions of the research:
- The share of people with access to the Internet increased by 4% compared to 2019
- The digital skills of 1.42 million citizens have improved compared to 2019 (47.8% compared to 53%)
- And the most important indicator for us is that 44.4% of Ukrainians aged 18-70 are interested in developing digital skills
