ICILS 2023: International Report Launched

Launch of the ICILS 2023 International Report

The International Computer and Information Literacy Study (ICILS) 2023 International Report was launched on 12 November at Aarhus University, Copenhagen. The event featured presentations by leading experts and discussions on the implications of ICILS 2023 findings.

The study assessed eighth-grade students' CIL and CT skills, essential for navigating the digital world. Key findings include:

  • Almost half of students achieved at least CIL proficiency Level 2, but average CIL achievement has decreased since 2013.
  • Female students outperformed males in CIL across all 28 participating countries.
  • Two-thirds of students demonstrated CT proficiency Level 2 or higher.
  • Socioeconomic status, home language, and immigration background significantly influence achievement.

The event concluded with a panel discussion on applying ICILS insights, featuring contributions from Nordic education experts.
