Ukraine’s Ministry of Digital Transformation reports that 96% of the population now holds digital skills, with 58% demonstrating basic or higher proficiency. This milestone follows six years of sustained investment in digital education through the Diia.Education platform. The 2025 national digital skills survey found that 42% of adults and 70% of teenagers already use AI tools for learning, work, or everyday tasks. Digital literacy levels increased by 12.5% in 2023 and 10.5% in 2025. These gains were achieved despite the ongoing wartime context, with the government continuing to prioritise digital skills as a strategic national asset.
Who it affects: The general population across Ukraine, with particular success in reaching younger users. Diia.Education is a publicly funded, free platform accessible to all citizens.
What is notably missing: The digital skills survey measures general digital proficiency, not specifically AI literacy or critical AI evaluation skills. Reaching 96% on digital skills does not imply AI competence; AI-specific curriculum integration in schools and structured workplace training requirements remain less developed. The gains have not been institutionalised through binding legal obligations on employers or schools.
