The Connection Between English Proficiency and Digital Literacy in Ukraine
How does English proficiency relate to the digital skills of Ukrainians?
Recent findings indicate that 51% of the adult population in Ukraine possesses basic English skills, while 23% have advanced proficiency. This correlates strongly with income levels; 52% of high-income individuals are proficient in English compared to only 12% of those with low income.
The Ministry of Digital Transformation recently released results from a study on the digital literacy of Ukrainians for 2023. It highlighted the link between English proficiency and digital skills, revealing that 60.4% of Ukrainians without any digital skills also lack English language knowledge.
English serves as a tool to enhance digital skills and unlock new opportunities. Platforms like Empower and Promova are available to help Ukrainians learn English, supported by the national Future Perfect program.
