Hungarian students have excelled in the International Computer and Information Literacy Study (ICILS), surpassing the global average with a score of 505 points, 29 points higher than the international average of 476.
Students with more computers or consistent access to a computer for schoolwork scored significantly higher, underlining the role of family support. However, the country’s overall performance suggests systemic efforts to improve digital literacy across all levels of education.
Hungary has made substantial investments in digital resources for schools. From 2017 to 2020, the country provided thousands of devices, including notebooks, tablets, interactive panels, and robotics kits.
Additionally, during the COVID-19 pandemic, 26,000 devices were given to students in need, ensuring access to online learning. These efforts are part of Hungary’s broader Digital Education Strategy, aimed at strengthening students’ digital competencies and improving infrastructure.

Tens of thousands of teachers have participated in digital skills courses, ensuring educators are well-prepared to teach in the digital age.
The country has also developed a wealth of digital learning materials, available on the public education portal, to support students and teachers alike.
These strategic investments have paid off, with students demonstrating strong digital competencies. Moving forward, the continued focus on digital education promises to keep Hungary at the forefront of global digital literacy rankings.
