IT Fitness Test 2023 V4 & Ukrajina

Česko.Digital together with AAVIT is a partner of the IT Fitness Test 2023 digital literacy measurement in the Czech Republic. It is a unique test that will test digital skills, not knowledge, across the V4 countries. The project for our region is led by the Digital Coalition of the Slovak Republic and has already tested more than 300,000 people over ten years. The test is now also aimed at Ukrainian students (both in the Czech Republic and Ukraine) and provides a true picture of the level of IT skills of the tested respondent.

The mapping and improvement of digital skills for the Department of Education and individual education actors is supported by the new Digital Education pillar of the Digital Czech Republic strategy, as well as by the European strategy and legislation, which is part of the Digital Decade 2030 programme and is also linked to the European Year of Skills 2023, which aims to coordinate and advance the Czech Republic primarily in the areas of basic digital skills.

For this year's testing, including the support of students from Ukraine, we decided together with the Digital Coalition of the Slovak Republic (Národná koalícia pre digitálne zručnosti a povolania Slovenskej republiky) and thanks to the significant financial support of strategic grants from the International Visegrad Fund. Microsoft CZ&SK continues to be the main partner of this year's edition in the Czech and Slovak Republics.
