Digital divide
According to PISA 2022, there is 0.81 computer per student in school on average across OECD countries. In Australia, Austria, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the United States, El Salvador and Singapore, there is at least one computer per student. By contrast, in Albania, Baku (Azerbaijan), Brazil, Cambodia and Morocco, there is less than one computer per every five students. Students in OECD countries spend on average 25 minutes per day on line at school. In Australia, Denmark, Greece and Sweden, they spend 39 or more minutes per day. By contrast, in Germany, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Korea, Macao, Poland, Shanghai, Singapore, Turkey and Uruguay, at least 50% of students reported never being on line at school. Students in Australia, Brazil, Korea, Singapore, Sweden and the United States perform better in digital reading than in print reading. On average, 38% of adults without computer experience and below upper secondary education are employed. The likelihood of being employed increases with each additional level of education and skills proficiency. The greatest returns associated with increased education and ICT and problem-solving skills are observed in Norway and Poland. In these countries, the odds ratio increases as skills improve, which is not the case in Estonia and the Slovak Republic. Estonia, Hungary, Norway, Poland, Slovenia, Sweden and the United Arab Emirates have the widest gender gaps in digital reading. The more frequently students play one-player video games and collaborative online games, the worse their relative performance on print reading. However, these negative effects may be counterbalanced by positive effects on their ability to navigate through digital texts. In Australia, Chile, Denmark, Mexico, Norway and Abu Dhabi, more than one in two teachers reported that students use ICT "frequently" or "in all or nearly all lessons", while fewer than one in four teachers in Croatia, Finland, France, Israel, Japan, Malaysia and Serbia reported so. Teachers ranked their professional development needs and cited teaching students with special needs first, followed by using ICT for teaching and using new technologies in the workplace. Larger proportions of teachers in Brazil, Italy and Malaysia reported so.

Note: These values should be interpreted with care since they are influenced
by countries' specific contexts and trade-offs. In education, there is often no simple
most- or least-efficient model. For instance, the share of private expenditure in
education must be read against other measures designed to mitigate inequities,
such as loans and grants; longer learning time is an opportunity to convey
more and better content to students, but may hinder investments in other important
areas. If you want further information on the nature of different variables, please
take the time to read the analysis and contextual information, available at the website
for each publication.
The OECD average includes only OECD countries which are listed here: http://www.oecd.org/about/membersandpartners/
Reference years displayed in the Education GPS correspond to the most common year of reference among countries for which data is available on each variable. Data for the latest available year is preferred and some countries may have provided data refering to a more recent or late year. To know more about possible exceptions on data please click on the "Download Indicator" link on each variable. When a year of reference corresponds to a school year encompassing two years, the reference reads as follows: 2018 for school year 2017/2018.
*TALIS averages are based on all countries participating in the TALIS survey, including partner countries and economies. This explains the difference between the OECD average and the TALIS average. Data from the TALIS survey and Education at a Glance (EAG) may differ. See Annex E of the TALIS technical report and Annex 3 of EAG 2021 for more details about the data collections.
B-S-J-Z (China) refers to the four PISA-participating provinces/municipalities of the People's Republic of China: Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
