Benchmarking access and use of ICT in European Schools 2006 

1  Executive Summary and Conclusion 

The  use  of  computers  in  European  schools  has  reached  almost  the  100%  saturation  point  in  all 
member states, with hardly any deviations across school types.  

However, there  are large  variations  in the number of computers per 100 pupils.  The clear European 
leaders are Denmark (27 computers per 100  pupils),  Norway  (24), the Netherlands (21)  and the  UK 
and  Luxembourg  (20).  The  figures  in  these  countries  are  significantly  higher  than  the  European 
average  of  11  computers  per  100  pupils.  Almost  all  new  member  states  belong  to  the  group  of 
laggards which include countries such as Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland; however Portugal and Greece 
also find themselves in this group of countries, with 100 pupils having to share only 6 computers.  

In several European countries there still is an ICT catch-up process necessary in schools.  This relates 
to  three  aspects:  firstly,  the  necessary  increase  in  the  number  of  computers  shared  between  100 
pupils;  secondly,  the  improvement  of  the  type  of  internet  access  with  the  move  to  a  broadband 
connection; thirdly, the use of ICT for education in classrooms.  

The level of ICT equipment in schools in Europe varies according to school type with an average of 9 
computers  per  100  pupils  in  primary  schools  at  the  bottom  end  and  16  computers  per  100  pupils  in 
vocational schools at the top. Vocational schools are almost twice as well equipped with computers as 
primary schools. Only in three European countries  – Germany, Luxembourg and Malta – are primary 
schools  better  equipped  with  ICT  in  terms  of  number  of  computers  per  100  pupils.  This  may  be  an 
indication of a specific strategy to focus more on primary schools when it comes to the familiarisation 
of pupils with ICT. 

The differences observable in the number of computers per 100 pupils by school types may point to 
the  current  focus  of  ICT  investments  in  schools,  which  in  most  European  countries  seems  to  be  on 
upper  level  schools  where  more  attention  and  investment  are  placed.  ICT  investments  in  primary 
schools are probably not (yet) seen as the top political objective at which to aim, with few exceptions. 

More than 80% of schools using computers use them in classrooms in the United Kingdom, Slovenia, 
the Netherlands, Cyprus, Ireland, Luxembourg, Sweden, Norway and Portugal. By contrast, in Greece, 
Hungary and Slovakia the figure is a very low 20%. This is less than a third – in some cases even only 
slightly more than a quarter – of the European average usage figure (61%). 

Almost  all  European  schools  have  internet  access.  In  most  countries  the  penetration  rate  is  slightly 
below or at 100%, in no country is it below 90%, and the European average is 96%.  

Again,  the  likelihood  of  school  computers  having  internet  access  rises  with  the  school  level,  i.e.  it  is 
lowest in primary schools and by far the lowest in Latvia (58%) followed by Hungary (61%), Lithuania 
(69%) and surprisingly also Austria (71%). These figures compare to a European average of 88% in 
primary  schools.  In  some  countries  the  figure  is  100%  or  approaching  it.  The  European  average  is 
highest in upper secondary level schools where it reaches a very high 96%.  

The picture changes significantly when looking at the type of internet access and thereby considering 
only  those  schools  with  broadband  access.  Here  again  the  Nordic  countries,  the  Netherlands  and 
Estonia  and  Malta  from  the  new  member  states  show  top  rates,  with  figures  above  90%.  In  stark 
contrast is Greece, where just 13% of the schools have broadband internet access. Poland, Cyprus, 
Lithuania  and  Slovakia  also show low figures ranging between 28% and 40%  which are significantly 
below the European average of 67%.  

The most popular broadband connection is DSL, followed by other connections, mainly a special cable 
modem using the television cable. There are noticeable country differences with the United Kingdom 
where  only  4%  of  the  schools  with  computers  use  a  DSL  connection,  as  opposed  to  a  European 
average of 45%. However, here the use of cable modems or unknown broadband connection type is 
at very high levels. The situation is similar – but at higher DSL penetration levels – in Greece, Ireland, 
Lithuania, Poland and Sweden. 

20 

 
 
Benchmarking access and use of ICT in European Schools 2006 

There is the general tendency that the higher the school level the better the internet access in terms of 
bandwidth. Not surprisingly, those countries with low broadband penetration rates in schools are high 
on alternative access media such as dial-up and ISDN connections.  

In  all  European  countries  computer  science  is  also  taught  as  a  separate  subject.  This  holds  true  for 
most of the new member states, where it is the case in more than 80% or 90% of the schools (Poland, 
Hungary, Latvia, Slovenia, Lithuania and Estonia). Only Greece with 78%, ranking 12th, comes close 
to  such  high  figures.  All  other  old  member  states  are  significantly  less  active  in  teaching  computer 
science as a separate subject and  are much more actively using ICT as an  integral part of teaching 
any of their subjects. 

It appears as if many of the old member states have already been through a phase of teaching the use 
of ICT as a separate subject and thereby using computer labs intensively. In the meantime they seem 
to  have  shifted  the  focus  and  have  made  computers  and  the  internet  an  integral  part  of  teaching  of 
(almost) all subjects. However, most of the new member states, as well as countries like Portugal, Italy 
and Spain seem to belong to the group of countries still at a rather early stage of a more intensive ICT 
use in schools, where this is still very often taught as a separate subject to familiarise pupils with the 
use of computers and the internet.  

This can partially be confirmed when considering the responses on the question whether “computers 
and the internet are integrated into the teaching of most subjects”. Here the more advanced countries 
in  terms  of  ICT  use  (United  Kingdom,  Sweden,  Finland,  the  Netherlands,  Denmark,  etc)  reach  very 
high figures as opposed to comparatively low figures on the question asking about teaching computer 
science  as  a  separate  subject.  The  variation  between  countries  is  huge,  with  the  United  Kingdom 
reaching 94% of schools, where “computers and the internet are integrated into the teaching of most 
subjects” compared to 42% in Greece and 44% in Latvia. There is hardly any variation across school 
types on this indicator. 

There are significant variations in the intensity of ICT use in schools across Europe. Extreme values 
are reached in the UK where 38% of those teachers using computers in class use it in more than 50% 
of  the  lessons.  Interestingly,  in  those  countries  known  for  rather  low  ICT  usage  in  schools,  teachers 
using  computers  in  class  do  so  rather  frequently  and  intensively.  The  high  figures  for  using  ICT  in 
more than half of their lessons in Hungary  (27%), Poland (24%), Greece  (22%), and Portugal  (19%) 
can be used to illustrate this. 

Interestingly, teachers in countries like Sweden, Finland, Denmark, the Netherlands etc do not belong 
to the (very) intensive ICT users in class. Only around 10% or less of the teachers in these countries 
use computers in more than 50% of their lessons. One can only speculate about the reasons for this. 
It seems that in these countries the use of computers and the internet has become the norm for most 
of the teachers and pupils  in  all  aspects of  life and  that there  no longer is  the need to put a special 
emphasis on this in the teaching processes at school. 

However,  most  European  countries  still  seem  to  be  in  the  phase  of  increasing  the  frequency  and 
intensity of ICT usage for education in class. 

Over the past five years there has been a significant upward development in the availability and use of 
ICT in schools. The percentage of schools using computers for educational purposes has  risen over 
the  past  five  years  from  an  already  high  94%  in  the  EU15  in  2001,  to  more  than  99%  in  2006.  The 
100% saturation point has (almost) been reached. 

While in 2001 one hundred pupils in the EU15 had to share 8 computers the figure rose by 2006 to 12, 
an improvement of 50%. However, one needs to bear in mind that the average European figure is still 
some distance away from the European frontrunners. 

Schools have moved over to broadband. Today, 72% of the schools in the EU15 are connected to the 
internet via a broadband network, and 43% of the new member states as well, resulting in an average 
of  67%  of  schools  with  broadband  internet  access.  Six  European  countries  have  broadband 
penetration  and  access  rates  in  schools  of  90%  and  more,  15  countries  75%  and  above,  while  22 
countries  achieve  50%  and  above.  Only  five  countries  remain  below  50%  (Greece,  Poland,  Cyprus, 
Latvia, and Slovakia) and only one below the 2001 average of 19% (Greece). 

21 

 
 
Benchmarking access and use of ICT in European Schools 2006 

Schools have also strongly improved the technical ICT infrastructure in terms of LAN implementation 
and use and development and use of an own website. While in 2001 44% of the schools in the EU15 
had  their  own  website,  that  figure  is  now  62%.  In  the  new  member  states  today’s  figures  are  even 
higher, at 67%. Also the use of a LAN – which used to be at 47% of the EU15 schools – is now up to 
54%.  Again,  the  new  member  states  are  even  better  equipped,  with  60%  of  the  schools  in  these 
countries reporting the use of a LAN.  

Improvements can also be observed in the use of computers in class, which applied to two thirds of 
the  teachers  in  the  EU15  in  2001  and  has  increased  to  77%  in  2006.  Teachers  in  the  new  member 
states use computers to a lesser extent in class (61%) which results in a European EU25 average of 
74%. 

ICT  use  in  computer  labs  has  remained  at  more  or  less  at  the  same  level,  with  most  of  the  new 
member  states  achieving  higher  figures  than  the  old  member  states.  It  appears  as  if  the  use  of 
computer labs is the starting point for most schools when it comes to the introduction and use of ICT. 
Pupils  familiarise  themselves  with  computers  in  computer  labs  and  only  after  schools  have  invested 
more intensively in ICT does the use of ICT move into the classrooms and become an integral part of 
teaching  (most  of)  the  subjects.  Portugal,  Spain  and  Italy  also  seem  to  be  at  that  stage,  showing 
strongly increasing figures on the use of ICT in computer labs, but also in class. 

Only  a  very  few  teachers  seem  to  have  no  or  nearly  no  ICT  user  experience.  Overall  this  group  is 
small and amounts to less than 7% of all teachers. However, in Greece it reaches a substantial 31%, 
followed  by  Hungary  (15%),  Latvia  (14%)  and  Slovakia  (13%)  whereas  it  is  next  to  zero  in  Sweden, 
Denmark,  Norway,  Finland,  the  UK,  Austria  and  the  Netherlands.  Teacher  training  seems  to  be  an 
issue in several new member states and in Greece. 

Motivation  for  and  interest  in  using  ICT  in  class  still  is  a  big  issue  in  several  European  countries.  In 
Europe, 16% of those teachers who do not use computers in class express the opinion that the use of 
ICT yields “no or unclear benefits”. German teachers not using ICT in class seem to be by far the most 
sceptical  with  respect  to  the  benefits  which  can  be  achieved  by  using  ICT  in  class  and  reaches  an 
extremely high 48% (or 10% of all teachers) – three times higher than the European average.  

In the following five countries, more than 5% of all teachers are not using computers because they say 
they  see  "no  or  unclear  benefits":  Germany  (10.5%),  Latvia  (8.6%),  France  (7.5%),  Belgium  (5.8%) 
and the Czech Republic (5.5%) 

There  exists  a  strong  correlation  between  this  scepticism  and  lack  of motivation  to  use  ICT  in  class 
and the age of teachers: the older the teachers, i.e. the longer they are teaching, the more likely they 
are to lack motivation for ICT use in class because they do not see benefits in its use for pupils. This 
becomes  apparent  when  cross-tabulating  both  indicators  (cf.  below).  It  shows  that  in  Germany 
teachers  have  an  average  of  23  years  of  teaching  experience,  i.e.  they  are  old  compared  to  their 
colleagues in almost all other EU member states and  show higher figures (48%, which is three times 
the EU25 average) on lack of motivation and scepticism for using ICT in class because to them there 
are  no  clear  benefits  for  pupils.  Two  other  countries  –  Austria  and  Italy  –  have  a  more  experienced 
teacher workforce comparable to that of Germany.. But here the scepticism is at a much lower level. 
Contrasting  results,  i.e.  young  (less  experienced)  teachers  who  are  very  fond  of  ICT  use  in  class 
because of the benefits for pupils, are particularly notable in Malta and Cyprus as new member states 
and in the United Kingdom.

Better technical ICT maintenance and support is a key issue for  two thirds of the European schools. 
This particularly applies to many of the countries with poor ICT equipment and use such as Lithuania 
(90%),  Cyprus  (89%),  Greece  (83%),  and  also  Ireland  (85%).  The  situation  seems  to  be  poorest  in 
primary  schools.  However,  in  countries  with  excellent  levels  of  ICT  equipment  in  schools  and  high 
levels  of  satisfaction  with  ICT,  better  ICT  support  can  also  be  an  issue,  as  can  be  illustrated  by  the 
example  of  Norway.  ICT  equipment  in  Norwegian  schools  is  at  a  top  level  compared  to  other 
countries. The majority of Norwegian  teachers are satisfied  with the technical access means at their 
schools: 80% state that their school is well-equipped with computers and 83% express the opinion that 
their internet connection is fast enough. Highest satisfaction rates can be found in vocational schools 
(90%). However, a very high 73% wish there were better support and maintenance actions taken. This 
is  especially  the  case  in  primary  schools,  with  76%  of  the  teachers  stating  this  as  an  issue.  This 
seems to point to an area where there is some need for improvement in Norwegian schools. 

There seems to be a significant need for improvement of the technical ICT maintenance and support 
in schools as articulated by an average of 75% of the European schools, with top demands reaching 
almost  90%  in  some  new  member  states  and  in  Greece.  Actions  need  to  be  taken,  especially  in 
primary  schools,  where  the  demand  is  highest.  As  demonstrated  by  the  example  of  Norway,  this 
problem can also be found in frontrunner countries where schools are very well-equipped with ICT but 
where teachers lack technical support. It is in this area where improvements could most likely have a 
very  positive  impact  on  an  even  better  use  of  ICT  in  schools,  to  the  advantage  of  both  pupils  and 
teachers alike. 

In several countries known as the European frontrunners in ICT use in schools  the use of computers 
and the internet has become the norm for most of the teachers and pupils in all aspects of life. There 
no longer is the need to place a special emphasis on its use in the teaching processes at school. The 
use  of  ICT  is  not  a  “conditio-sine-qua-non”  for  the  learning  success  of  pupils  but  can  contribute  to  it 
and fulfil an important role in motivating pupils to learn.  

Teacher ICT training still seems to be an issue in several new member states and Greece.

It  is  in  countries  such  as  Germany  where  it  may  be  worthwhile  to  start  activities  addressed  to  the 
motivation  of  teachers  for  using  ICT  in  class  since  this  constitutes  a  key  barrier  to  further  IT  uptake 
and use in class for teachers. In many cases this has to go hand-in-hand with an improvement of the 
number of computers per 100 pupils, the type of internet access (broadband internet connection) and 
the availability of technical support and maintenance offer to teachers.

Introduction to the Study  

2  Objectives  

The  study  “eLearning  Policy  Indicators  2006”  was  started  by  the  European  Commission  in 
January 2006. 

The purpose of the study is: 

  Firstly,  to  obtain  updated  estimates  for  the  indicator  on  the  “number  of  pupils  per 
computer  with  internet  connection  (broadband/non-broadband)”  and  relate  it  to  other 
possible indicators of educational use of ICT in compulsory education.  

  Secondly, to look at which ICT infrastructures are available and how these are used by 

teachers in schools. 

  Thirdly, to document the main analysis and results in a final report  

  Fourthly, to provide “country briefs” describing the situation in each country. 

Thus the objectives of the study have been to: 

  Design  two  questionnaires,  in  cooperation  with  DG  Information  Society  and  DG 
Education and Culture, in order to measure ICT availability and use at schools in the 
EU25, Norway and Iceland  

  carry out a head teacher survey and a classroom teacher survey in order to obtain 
information on the schools and subsequently on teachers, focusing on their use of 
ICTs in the learning process. The study followed the methodological approach and 
used the updated instrument from the precursor studies to obtain estimates and up-
to-date data for the former eEurope e-learning indicator  

  develop a final report including the overall data tables and graphics and reports on 

key results  

  develop 27 “country briefs” describing the situation in each country. 

Thus this study will significantly enhance the capacity of the i2010 programme to achieve its 
goals  in  relation  to  benchmarking  ICT  availability  and  use  of  e-learning  at  schools,  a  key 
aspect of the information society’s development in the Member States.  

Altogether 28 reports have been developed including 27 country briefs and an overall results 
report which includes a summary of key findings and an overall conclusion. 

2.1  Overall Results Report 

For the overall report the raw (case level) data delivered by the fieldwork organisation was: 

a)  stored in an SPSS file. From there  

b)  The case level data was weighted by applying an appropriate weighting scheme 

so that data can be made available in weighted forms; 

25 

 
 
Benchmarking access and use of ICT in European Schools 2006 

c)  The  data  were  then  converted  into  indicator  components,  aggregated  and 

harmonised; 

d)  The resulting statistics were then converted to spreadsheet formats and delivered 

as such and in tables. 

The figure below illustrates the main stages of the current "data processing value chain".  

From raw survey data to Final Analysis Report: The path of data processing in the study 

Stage 1: Working database, case level, SPSS 

Survey  results  are  stored  on  case  level  in  an  SPSS  database.  Values  for  weighting  are 
added. A calculation of statistical components (often using the SPSS frequencies facility) for 
all indicators will be carried out. 

Stage 2: Working database 

The  database  stores  aggregate  results for  breakdowns by  country,  school  type  etc.  Values 
for each indicator are calculated and presented in this database. 

Stage 3: The "Overview tables" 

In order  to  present  the main  results  in  a ready-to-use format,  the most  important  indicators 
are presented in a collection of tables comparing the results by  

a)  Type of school 

b)  Type of locality 

c)  Type of internet connection 

d)  Level of education

Survey Results 

3  Access to and use of ICT in European Schools 

3.1  Infrastructure and Access 

3.1.1  Computer Equipment in Schools 

Computer equipment is available in nearly 100% of European schools. There are hardly any 
deviations across school types. 

There are  large variations  in  the  number  of  computers  per  100 pupils. The  clear  European 
leaders are Denmark (27 computers per 100 pupils), Norway (24), the Netherlands (21) and 
the  UK  and  Luxembourg  (20).  These  figures  are  significantly  higher  than  the  European 
average  of  11  computers  per  100  pupils.  Top  figures  are  reached  in  vocational  schools  in 
Denmark  (50)  which  has  reached  a  situation  where  two  pupils  share  one  computer.  Very 
good  results  are  also  achieved  in  vocational  schools  in  Norway  (39),  the  United  Kingdom 
(29), the Netherlands (28) and Austria (25). 

Almost  all  new  member  states  belong  to  the  group  of  laggards,  with  countries  like  Latvia, 
Lithuania,  and  Poland,  where  100  pupils  have  to  share  6  computers.  Portugal  and  Greece 
also belong to this group with the same figures. 

The level of ICT equipment in schools varies according to school type, with 9 computers per 
100  pupils  in  primary  schools  at  the  bottom  end  and  16  computers  per  100  pupils  in 
vocational  schools  at  the  top.  Vocational  schools  are  almost  twice  as  well-equipped  with 
computers  as  primary  schools.  Only  in  three  European  countries  –  Germany,  Luxembourg 
and  Malta  –  are  primary  schools  are  better  equipped  with  ICT  in  terms  of  number  of 
computers per 100 pupils. 

28%  of  the  European  vocational  schools  belong  to  the  group  of  schools  which  have  more 
than 20 computers per 100 pupils. 19% of the upper secondary schools still find themselves 
in  this  group  but  only  around  14%  of  the  lower  level  schools.  This  pattern  is  more  or  less 
consistent throughout the member states with some exceptions. For example in Luxembourg 
all  school  types  reach penetration  levels  of  almost  50%  of the  schools  using  more  than 20 
computers per 100 pupils. In countries like Germany, Estonia and Malta the computer use in 
upper secondary schools is surprisingly low with only around 5% of these schools using them 
compared to an average of more than 10%. 

The  existing  differences  in  the  number  of  computers  per  100  pupils  by  school  types  may 
point to the focus of ICT investments in schools which in most European countries seems to 
be on upper level schools, where more attention and investment is directed. ICT investments 
in  primary  schools  and  lower  secondary  schools  are  probably  not  (yet)  seen  as  the  top 
political objective at which to aim. 

Computer  use  for  educational  purposes  is  at  very  high  levels  in  secondary  and  vocational 
schools  almost  everywhere  in  Europe  (between  90%  and  100%),  a  little  lower  in  primary 
schools but significantly lower in primary schools in some countries such as Latvia (65%) and 
Hungary (68%).

A majority of schools still use computers for education in dedicated computer labs, with 80% 
of  European  schools  using  computers  reporting  this  to  be  the  case.  60%  already  use 
computers for education in classrooms, a third also offer computers in their libraries and one 
in four in other locations in the school accessible to pupils. However, the figures vary greatly 
across  countries.  More  than  80%  of  schools  using  computers  in  the  UK,  Slovenia,  the 
Netherlands,  Cyprus,  Ireland,  Luxembourg,  Sweden,  Norway  and  Portugal  use  ICT  in 
classrooms.  The  comparable  figures  in  countries  like  Greece,  Hungary  and  Slovakia  are 
below 20% which is less than a third – in some cases even only slightly more than a quarter 
– of the European average (61%).

Benchmarking access and use of ICT in European Schools 2006 

Three  quarters  of  classroom  teachers  are  of  the  opinion  that  their  school  is  well-equipped 
with  computers,  and  slightly  more  express  the  opinion  that  their  internet  connection  is 
sufficiently  rapid.  The  situation  seems  to  be  slightly  different  mainly  in  France,  Portugal, 
Latvia  and  Lithuania  where  a  significantly  smaller  share  of  teachers  is  satisfied  with  the 
current ICT equipment in schools. 

An interesting phenomenon was also observed: the actual level of ICT equipment in schools 
and the self-assessments of teachers as to the satisfaction with the ICT equipment vary. This 
can be illustrated by the example of Sweden and Finland. In both countries schools are very 
well-equipped  with  ICT  and  these  are  used  intensively  in  class.  However,  both  countries 
show rather low figures for teacher satisfaction concerning ICT equipment in schools. Further 
research  is  needed  to  obtain  more  information  on  the  reasons  for  this  phenomenon,  i.e. 
whether much of the ICT in schools in these countries is outdated and of less than optimal 
quality or whether there are other reasons. In other countries we find the opposite: teachers 
showing high levels of satisfaction with the level of ICT equipment in their school, despite the 
fact that the overall level of equipment in these countries is comparatively low.  

3.1.2  Internet Access in Schools 

Almost all European schools have internet access. In most countries the penetration rate is 
slightly below or at 100%; in no country is it below 90%, giving a European average of 96%.  

Differences across school types are negligible. Interestingly enough, the situation is poorest 
in  French  primary  schools  with  just  88%  of  schools  having  internet  access,  while  the 
European average for primary schools is 96%.  

The  picture  changes  significantly  when  looking  at  the  type  of  internet  access  and  thereby 
considering only those schools with broadband access. Here again the Nordic countries, the 
Netherlands and Estonia and Malta from the new member states show top rates with figures 
above 90%.  In contrast  is  Greece,  where  just  13%  of  the  schools  have  broadband internet 
access.  However,  Poland,  Cyprus,  Lithuania  and  Slovakia  also  show  low  figures  ranging 
between 28% and 40% which are significantly below the European average of 67%. There is 
a general tendency that the higher the school level the better the internet access in terms of 
bandwidth.  

The  most  popular  broadband  connection  is  DSL,  followed  by  other  connections,  mainly  a 
special cable modem using the television cable. There are noticeable country differences, for 
example in the UK where only 4% of the schools with computers have a DSL connection, as 
opposed  to  a  European  average  of  45%.  However,  here  the  use  of  cable  modems  or 
unknown broadband connection  type  is  at  very  high levels.  The  situation is  similar  –  but  at 
higher DSL penetration levels – in Greece, Ireland, Lithuania, Poland and Sweden. 

Not all, but the vast majority of, school computers are connected to the internet (88% in the 
EU25). Most countries even reach beyond this European average or are close to it. The most 
dramatic exceptions are Cyprus and France, with just 71% and 73% of computers in schools 
connected to the internet. 

3.2  ICT use in Schools 

3.2.1  Computers and internet 

Again, the likelihood of school computers having internet access rises with the school level. 
The European average in upper secondary level schools is at a very high 96%. It is lowest in 
primary schools and by far the lowest in Latvia (58%) followed by Hungary (61%), Lithuania 

30 

 
 
Benchmarking access and use of ICT in European Schools 2006 

(69%) and surprisingly also Austria (71%). These figures compare to a European average of 
88% in primary schools, but some countries already reach, or are close to reaching, 100%.

These  figures  are  based  on  the  statements  from  head  teachers.  In  addition  it  appears 
worthwhile to consider the actual use of ICT in class by classroom teachers. Here it becomes 
apparent that the situation varies between the countries. One can basically differentiate the 
European countries into three groups: 

31 

 
 
  
 
 
 
 
Benchmarking access and use of ICT in European Schools 2006 

  Group 1 where most attention in terms of ICT use by teachers in class is in primary 
schools, mainly in the new member states: the Czech Republic, Estonia, Ireland, 
Cyprus, Latvia, Luxembourg, Malta, and Slovenia; 

  Group 2 where most attention in terms of ICT use by teachers in class is in upper 
level schools, and primarily in vocational schools: Belgium, Greece, France, Italy, 
Lithuania, Hungary, Poland and Portugal, and  

  Group 3 where ICT use by teachers in class shows only little variation and seems to 
be at comparable (and mostly very high) levels throughout the different school types: 
Denmark, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Austria, Slovakia, Finland, Sweden, the 
United Kingdom, Iceland and Norway. 

However, these figures do not provide any information on the frequency and intensity of use. 
It  is  among  teachers  in  upper  level  schools  and  especially  vocational  schools  where  one 
finds the largest group of heavy ICT users in class, i.e. using ICT in more than 50% of their 
lessons. At the EU25 level 25% of vocational teachers belong to this group of heavy users 
compared to 15% in primary schools. 

3.2.2  School website, e-mail address, LAN, intranet 

More sophisticated levels of ICT equipment and use of ICT in schools can also be measured 
by  inquiring  into  the  availability  of  a  school  website  or  an  intranet.  Interestingly  enough 
almost two thirds of European schools already have their own website.  

Other indicators used include the availability of e-mail addresses for the majority of teachers 
and pupils  and the  use of  a LAN.  Two thirds  of the  European teachers  already  have  an  e-
mail address from their school but only a quarter of the pupils. 

The  availability  and  use  of  an  intranet  can  probably  be  seen  as  an  indicator  for  the 
sophisticated  equipment  and  use  of  ICT  in  schools.  More  than  40%  of  European  schools 
have already reached this level, whereby the frontrunners reach figures beyond 60% or even 
70% (such as Denmark and Iceland). This is in sharp contrast to countries such as Portugal 
(9%), Greece (10%),  Estonia  and Cyprus  (17%)  and Ireland (18%). The  differences across 
school types are substantial, with only around a third of European primary schools and more 
than 50% of upper secondary and vocational schools using an intranet. The same holds true 
when looking at these differences at country level: while only around 5% of Portuguese and 
Greek  primary  schools  report  having  an  intranet,  this  figure  reaches  more  than  90%  in  
vocational schools in countries such as Luxembourg and the Netherlands.  

The existence of ICT support or maintenance contracts in schools is an indication of the kind 
and level of support given to teachers to make better use of ICT in teaching. 

There  is  no  homogenous  picture  –  no  matter  which  type  of  school  –  when  it  comes  to the 
availability of a support or maintenance contract with an ICT service provider to support the 
schools  in  ICT  matters.  The  figures  range  from  12%  in  Portugal  to  82%  in  the  UK  with  a 
European average of 47%. This indicates that in countries like the United Kingdom and the 
Netherlands, but also in new members states like Latvia, Malta and the Czech Republic (to 
name just a few), schools have recognised the importance of this kind of support to motivate 
teachers  to  further  use  ICT  in  class.  At  the  other  extreme,  in  countries  like  Portugal  and 
France, but also the well advanced Norway (the latter with impressive figures on the number 
of computers per 100 computers and schools with broadband internet access, especially  in 
primary  schools)  hardly  any  ICT-related  support  is  provided.  It  is  in  these  countries  and 
schools  that  the  survey  has  also  revealed  the  highest  levels  of  demand for  ICT  support  or 
maintenance  contract,  which  for  instance  in  Norway  is  stated  to  be  lacking  and  strongly 
demanded by almost 75% of the teachers. 

32 

 
 
Benchmarking access and use of ICT in European Schools 2006 

3.2.3  ICT use as part of teaching subjects 

In  all  European  countries  computer  science  is  taught  as  a  separate  subject,  although  to  a 
varying extent. In most of the new member states this is the case in more than 80% or 90% 
of the schools (Poland, Hungary, Latvia, Slovenia, Lithuania, and Estonia). However, schools 
in  the  new  member  states  are  not  as  advanced  in  the  integration  of  computers  and  the 
internet into the teaching of most subjects. It appears that many of the other member states 
in  the  meantime  shifted  focus  and  made  computers  and  the  internet  an  integral  part  of 
teaching  of  (almost)  all  subjects.  This  can  partially  be  confirmed  when  considering  the 
responses  on  the  question  whether  “computers  and  the  internet  are  integrated  into  the 
teaching  of  most  subjects”.  Here the  more  advanced  countries in terms of  ICT  use  (United 
Kingdom,  Sweden,  Finland,  the  Netherlands,  Denmark,  etc)  reach  very  high  figures  as 
opposed to comparatively low figures on the question about teaching computer science as a 
separate subject. The variation between countries is huge, with the United Kingdom reaching 
94% of schools, where “computers and the internet are integrated into the teaching of most 
subjects”  compared  to  42%  in  Greece  and  44%  in  Latvia.  Interestingly,  there  is  hardly  any 
variation across school types on this indicator.  

ICT also plays an important role in teaching foreign languages. This is the case in more than 
75% of European schools. Again the Nordic countries are the frontrunners (with figures well 
above 80% or even 90%). Hungary (39%), Latvia (39%) and Greece (48%) can be found at 
the tail end. 

More than half of the schools also use ICT for supporting students with special needs. Only 
in  eight  of  the  27  countries  surveyed  can  one  find  figures  below  the  European  average  of 
57%. Extremely low values in terms of consideration of ICT for supporting pupils with special 
needs can be found in Ireland where only 27% of schools report this to be the case, followed 
by  France  (29%),  Greece  (38%)  and  Belgium  (40%).  Again,  the  lower  the  school  level  the 
less ICT is used for supporting pupils with special needs. 

3.3  Comparison of the situation in 2001 and 2006 

Note: This section includes comparisons of the Eurobarometer Flash 94/1001 and 95/102 results from 2001 with 
those from the current surveys from 2006. Please bear in mind that the figures are not directly comparable due to 
the use of slightly different approaches and methodologies. 

The percentage of schools using computers for educational purposes has risen over the past 
5 years from an already high 94% in the EU15 in 2001 to more than 99% in 2006. The 100% 
saturation point has (almost) been reached. 

While in 2001 one hundred pupils in the EU15 had to share 8 computers the figure rose to 12 
in  2006,  an  improvement  of  50%.  However,  one  needs  to  bear  in  mind  that  the  average 
European figure is still some distance away from the European frontrunners.

In 2001, the range was from 32 computers per 100 pupils in Luxembourg to 4 in Portugal. Six 
out of the 15 EU member states had more than 10 computers per 100 pupils. 

In 2006, the range was similar: from 27 in Denmark to 6 in Portugal, but in the meantime 10 
of the former EU15 had already reached a figure of more than 10 computers per 100 pupils. 
Only  three  of  the  new  member  states  reach  figures  above  10  computers  per  100  pupils  in 
2006: Cyprus (12), Malta (11) and Hungary (10). 

In  2001  a  third  of  the  European  schools  from  the  old  member  states  (EU15)  were  still 
connected to the internet via dial-up modem. Today (2006) this figure is down to just 5%. The 
corresponding  figure  for  ISDN  connections  is  72%  in  2001  and  just  17%  in  2006.  Schools 
have  moved  over  to  broadband:  50%  of  the  schools  in  the  EU15  are  connected  to  the 
internet  via  a  DSL  connection  in  2006.  The  figure  for  2001  was  just  5%.  The  figures  have 
increased ten-fold over 5 years only. However, the new member state schools are less well-
equipped  with  26%  of  them  possessing  a  DSL  connection  which  brings  the  overall  EU25 
average down to 45%, still a remarkable figure. 

The  figures  on  the  total  percentage  of  schools  connected  to  any  kind  of  broadband 
connection  are  provided  in  the  table  above.  It  shows  that  in  2001  Denmark  with  64%  and 
Finland  with  52%  of  schools  connected  to  broadband  ranked  top.  In  those  days,  no  Irish

Benchmarking access and use of ICT in European Schools 2006 

school was connected to broadband internet and in the vast majority of member states only 
less than a quarter of schools had a broadband connection. The average of schools with a 
broadband internet connection stood at 19%. 

The situation has changed dramatically over the past five years. Today, 72% of the schools 
in the EU15 are connected to the internet via a broadband network and 43% already of the 
new  member  states,  resulting  in  an  average  of  67%  of  schools  with  broadband  internet 
access. 

Six countries have broadband penetration and access rates in schools of 90% and more. 15 
countries reach a broadband penetration rate of 75% and above. Only five countries remain 
below 50% (Greece, Poland, Cyprus, Latvia, Slovakia) and only one below the 2001 average 
of 19% (Greece).  

Schools  have  also  strongly  improved  their  degree  of  ICT  infrastructure  availability  and 
sophistication  for  the  development  of  own  websites,  the  implementation  of  a  LAN  or  an 
intranet. While in 2001 44% of schools in the EU15 had their own website, that figure is now 
62%. In the new member states today’s figures are even higher at 67%. The use of a LAN – 
which used to be in 47% of the EU15 schools – is now up to 54%. Again, the new member 
states are even better equipped, with 60% of the schools in these countries reporting the use 
of a LAN. 

Improvements can also be observed in the use of computers in class: in 2001 by around a 
quarter (28%) of the teachers in the EU15, but in 2006 an increase to 68%. Computer use in 
classrooms  has  dramatically  increased  from  2001  to  2006,  for  instance  in  Denmark  from 
31% to 72%, in Germany from a rather low 12%  to 66%. Greece has managed to increase 
from 8% to 18%, Italy from a very low 5% to 32% and the frontrunner United Kingdom from 
an already very high 54% in 2001 to 95% in 2006. 

ICT use in computer labs has more or less remained at the same level with most of the new 
member states achieving the highest figures. It appears as if the use of computer labs is the 
starting point for most schools when it comes to the introduction and use of ICT. Pupils  are 
familiarised  with  computers  in  computer  labs  and  only  after  schools  have  invested  more 
intensively in ICT does the use of ICT move into the classrooms and become an integral part 
of  (most  of)  the  subjects  taught.  Most  new  member  states  seem  to  be  at  a  comparatively 
early  stage  of  ICT  use  in  schools.  Portugal,  Spain  and  Italy  also  seem  to  be  at  that  stage 
since they have over the past five years strongly increased the use of ICT in computer labs.

3.4  ICT use of teachers 

The  general  use  of  computers  by  teachers  is  very  high  and  reaches  almost  100%.  This 
includes  the  use  of  computers  for  work  and  outside  work.  Only  Greece  is  lagging  slightly 
behind with a percentage of 89% of all teachers. There are no remarkable variations across 
school types. 

The  computer  is  seen  as  a  means  for  preparing  lessons  among  89%  of  the  European 
teachers who have used a computer in the class in the last 12 months. Again Greece is at 
the tail end with just 66% but Ireland, Italy and Slovakia also only reach figures of 80% and 
below. There are hardly any variations according to school type. 

Computer use in class is at a high level and reaches an average of 74%. However, there are 
large  variations  across  countries  with  just  35%  in  Latvia  and  36%  in  Greece  compared  to 
96% in the UK and 95% in Denmark. 

3.4.1  ICT use by pupils in class 

Computers are used by pupils as well as teachers in two thirds of the schools, mostly in the 
frontrunner countries, with figures reaching beyond 80% and in Denmark even 93%. Greece 
(23%), Latvia (33%) and Hungary (36%) achieve the lowest figures. 

There is no difference according to school types except in Greece, where the very low use of 
ICT is at an even lower rate in primary schools where it reaches only 20%. 

3.4.2  Intensity of ICT use and material used in lessons 

There are significant variations in the intensity of ICT use in schools across Europe. Highest 
rates are reached in the United Kingdom where 38% of those teachers using a computer in 
class use it in more than 50% of the lessons. Interestingly in those countries with a lower ICT 
usage in schools, teachers using computers in class do so more intensively. The figures for 
Hungary (27%), Poland (24%), Greece (22%), and Portugal (19%) can be used to illustrate 
this. 

In  several  countries  known  as  the  European  frontrunners  in  ICT  use  in  schools  the  use  of 
computers and the internet has become the norm for most of the teachers and pupils in all 
aspects of life. 

The  material  used  for  teaching  using  ICT  comes  from  a  variety  of  sources.  It  includes 
material  looked  up  on  the  internet  (83%),  whereby  online  material  from  established 
educational  sources  is  seen  as  important  in  74%  of  the  teachers  indicating  this.  Highest 
figures are reached in the United Kingdom (94%), probably an indication of the good existing 
supply  in  this  area  in  this  country  or  in  the  English  language.  Material  available  on  the 
school’s computer network is used by 63% of the teachers, with the UK and the Netherlands 
again reaching top values with 84% and 83%. Offline material such as CD-ROMs is still used 
very intensively and by 83% of those responding. 

3.4.3  ICT competence of teachers 

Depending on the country and type of school, there are different levels of competence and 
skills  among  teachers  for  using  computers  in  class.  Two  thirds  are  very  confident  in  using 
text processors, while one third have the necessary skills to develop electronic presentations. 
However,  one  can  identify  a  significantly  lower  competence  in  primary  schools,  where  the 
necessary skills are provided by only 30% as opposed to 46% and 47% in upper secondary 

38 

 
 
Benchmarking access and use of ICT in European Schools 2006 

and  vocational  schools.  Two  thirds  state  themselves  to  be  confident  and  competent  in  the 
use of e-mail slightly more than one third in installing software. Latvia, Lithuania, France and 
Portugal  are  the  countries  where  ICT  skills  among  teachers  are  lowest.  No  clear  picture 
emerges about the frontrunners, and this varies a lot across the different tasks. 

Only very few teachers seem to have no, or next to no, ICT user experience. Looking at all 
teachers this group is small and amounts to less than 7% of all teachers. However, in Greece 
it reaches a substantial 31% followed by Hungary (15%), Latvia (14%) and Slovakia (13%), 
whereas  it  is  next  to  zero  in  Sweden,  Denmark,  Norway,  Finland,  the  UK,  Austria  and  the 
Netherlands1.  

3.4.4  Teacher attitudes on ICT use 

The  vast  majority  of  European  teachers  see  the  advantages  of  ICT  use  in  school  and 
especially of using ICT for letting pupils do exercises and practise (80%). However, in some 
countries  only  substantially  less  than  the  European  average  sees  this  as  important  and 
relevant:  Luxembourg  (43%),  Italy  (59%),  Greece  (62%)  and,  Portugal  (65%).  These  are 
mostly countries where ICT is used to a much lesser extent in schools than the average and 
which are some distance away from the top users.  

It is mainly in these countries again that teachers express the opinion that other forms of ICT 
use in schools are also less important. 

A very high 86% state that pupils are more motivated and attentive when computers and the 
internet  are  used  in  class.  There  are  only  small  variations  on  this  across  countries,  with  
figures ranging from 73% in Iceland to 95% in Portugal and Cyprus.  

A  fifth  of  European  teachers  still  believe  that  using  computers  in  class  does  not  have 
significant  learning  benefits  for  pupils.  This  holds  true  especially  for  Spain  (52%),  Sweden 
(48%)  and  Iceland  (47%)  followed  by  Hungary  (33%),  France  (32%),  Austria  (28%)  and 

1   Definition of the skills variable "SKILL":  

very confident 
fairly confident 
not very confident 
not at all confident 
don't know 

Four skills questions were asked of the responding classroom teachers:  
•  How confident do you feel using a text processing programme on a computer such as Word? 
•  How confident do you feel creating a presentation with text and images such as Powerpoint? 
•  How confident do you feel using e-mail to communicate with others? 
•  How confident do you feel downloading and installing software onto a computer? 
Answer categories for each of these were  
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
These  questions  were  not  asked  of  respondents  who  had  stated  earlier  that  they  would  not  use 
computers. 
For  each  answer,  a  score  was  allocated  such  that  "very  confident"  received  5  points,  "fairly 
confident" 4 points, "not very confident" 3 points and "not at all confident" 2 points. "Don't know" 
answers were treated as "not at all confident". Computer non-users received 0 points on all items. 
An average score ranging from 0 to 5 was calculated using the arithmetic mean. The four cut-off 
points for a grouped variable were chosen as follows: 

0.00 - 2.50: 
2.75 - 3.25: 
3.50 - 4.25: 
4.50 - 5.00 

“no or factually no user experience” 
“novice ICT skills” 
“good ICT skills” 
“very good ICT skills”

Finland (27%). These results shows that this opinion bears little relation to the sophistication 
in use of ICT in schools since it is being expressed by teachers from frontrunner countries as 
well as those lagging behind. 

3.4.5  ICT in schools and use by teachers according to locality 

An  analysis  of  the  survey  data  according  to  the  location  of  schools  was  carried  out 
differentiating according to locality as follows: 

  Densely populated areas 
 
Intermediate areas and 
  Thinly populated areas. 

The definition of the type of locality is based on the classification of “degrees of urbanisation” 
which is also used in the Labour Force Survey. The following degrees of urbanisation have 
been identified: 

  Densely-populated area. This is a contiguous set of local areas, each of which has a 
density superior to 500 inhabitants per square kilometre, where the total population 
for the set is at least 50,000 inhabitants. 
Intermediate area. This is a contiguous set of local areas, not belonging to a 
densely-populated area, each of which has a density superior to 100 inhabitants per 
square kilometre, and either with a total population for the set of at least 50,000 
inhabitants or adjacent to a densely-populated area. 

 

  Thinly-populated area. This is a contiguous set of local areas belonging neither to a 

densely-populated nor to an intermediate area. 

From the data it becomes apparent that schools in metropolitan and urban areas are better 
equipped with ICT and connection to the internet compared to those in sub-urban and thinly 
populated areas. This holds true for almost all indicators as depicted in the following table.

However,  there  are  no  real  differences  in  the  type  of  use  of  ICT  in  schools  according  to 
locality as reported by head teachers responding to the questions on the use of computers 
and the internet. 

The  same holds true for  the  use  of  ICT  by  classroom  teachers. Those teachers  working  in 
urban areas make only slightly more intensive use of ICT in their classes. 

3.4.6  ICT in schools and use by teachers according to type of internet access 

Schools  and  teachers  using  a  broadband  internet  connection  as  opposed  to  a  narrowband 
one are better equipped with ICT and are more likely to use ICT in a more advanced way.  

In  the  Europe  of  2006  there  are  12  computers  per  100  pupils  in  schools  connected  to 
broadband as opposed to 9.5 computers in schools without. The European average is 11. 

41 

 
 
 
Benchmarking access and use of ICT in European Schools 2006 

The  better  equipment  of  schools  refers  to  all  locations  of  ICT  use:  computer  lab  (82%  of 
schools with broadband connection use ICT in this location compared to 80% of schools with 
narrow band connection), classroom (64% compared to 54%), school library (37% compared 
to 27%), other locations (29% compared to 23%).  

These schools also have a higher percentage of computers connected to the internet: 90% 
compared  to  84%  and  are  much  more  likely  to  use  ICT  in  a  more  advanced  way,  i.e. 
developing and using an intranet or own website, using a LAN, etc.

However, in terms of attitudes towards the use of ICT in schools and classes, the differences 
between  the  different  groups  of  schools  are  negligible  but  it  seems  that  broadband 
connected  schools  have  integrated  the  use  of  ICT  more  widely  into  the  teaching  of  most 
subjects, i.e. 78% compared to 71%. 

The following graphic illustrates this. Here it becomes apparent that countries with very high 
broadband penetration levels such as the Nordic countries also lead in ICT use in class. By 
contrast one finds Greece ranking very low on both indicators. A group of countries made up 
of  Poland,  Lithuania,  Slovakia  and  Cyprus  can  be  characterised  as  medium  to  strong  ICT 
users  in  class  despite  their  rather  low  figures  on  broadband  internet  connection,  i.e.  they 
seem  to  make  optimal  use  of  their  limited  infrastructure.  Other  new  member  states  like 
Latvia,  Hungary  and  Estonia  with  much  higher  broadband  penetration  rates  are  much  less 
active ICT users in class (except Estonia).

3.4.7  ICT in schools and use by teachers according to teaching experience 

The  younger  the  teachers,  the  more  use  they  make  of  ICT  in  schools  and  the  more 
competent they  feel  in  its  use. This  is  the  unsurprising main  result from the  analysis  of the 
classroom  teacher  survey  results  on  the  use  of  ICT  in  schools  according  to  teaching 
experience, which can be used as an age indicator of teachers. Some typical results can be 
used to illustrate this: 

Almost  twice  as  many  young  teachers  (those  with  less  than  5  years  teaching  experience) 
(23%)  use  ICT  in  more  than  half  of  their  lessons  compared  to  older  teachers  (those  with 
more than 20 years teaching experience) (13%). 

80%  of  the  younger  but  only  56%  of  the  older  teachers  feel  very  competent  in  using  text 
processors. The situation is comparable in all other uses of ICT such as for the development 
of electronic presentations, the use of e-mail, downloading and installing software.  

10%  of  older  teachers  as  opposed  to  2%  of  younger  teachers  report  that  they  have  no,  or 
next to no, experience in using ICT. More than half (57%) of the younger ones report having 
very good ICT skills while for the older teachers the figure is below a third (31%). 

In  line  with  these results  are  the  results  on  the  reasons  for  not  using  ICT  in  school,  where 
27% of the older teachers (not using computers for teaching) report “lack of adequate skills” 
as  a  reason  but  only  12%  of  the  younger  ones.  The  corresponding  figures  on  “lack  of 
interest” are 10% and 4% of the teachers not using computers in class.

Benchmarking access and use of ICT in European Schools 2006 

However, there are almost no differences across the age groups in relation to the attitudes 
towards the quality of the ICT equipment in schools and the problems and barriers for further 
use by teachers but also in terms of the benefits it brings for pupils. 

3.4.8  ICT use by teachers according to subject taught 

Around 90% of European teachers have in the past 12 months used or are using a computer 
to  prepare  lessons,  whereby  the  range  is  from  87%  of  those teachers  teaching  subjects  in 
the areas of physical and artistic/crafts education to 92% in vocational education. Teachers 
in physical and artistic/crafts education use a computer in class less than those in science, 
mathematics and computer science (68% as opposed to 80%).  

Teachers  teaching  science,  mathematics  and  computer  science  (22%)  and  active  in 
vocational  education  (23%)  are  the  most  intensive  users  of  the  computer  in  class  (in  more 
than  50%  of  their  lessons).  This  compares  to  only  5%  of  the  literature  and  language 
teachers,  with  those  in  primary  education  (17%),  humanities  and social  science  (13%)  and 
physical and artist/crafts education (16%) in the mid-field. 

A  similar  pattern  emerges  with  respect  to  teachers’  ICT  competence,  which  is  highest  in 
respect  to  the  use  of  text  processors  among  science,  mathematics  and  computer  science 
teachers  (70%)  and  lowest  among  those  teaching  literature  and  languages  (56%).  10%  of 
the  latter group also report that they  have  no,  or  next  to no,  ICT  user  experience,  which is 
around  twice  as  high  compared  to  teachers  of  other  subjects.  It  is  therefore  not  surprising 
that  almost  50%  of  the  science,  mathematics  and  computer  science teachers  and those  in 
vocational  education  possess  good  ICT  user  skills,  whereas  the  corresponding  figures  for 
literature and language teachers and physical and artistic/crafts teachers are only 31% and 
35%. 

Almost half of the non-using artistic/crafts teachers are those reporting that their subject does 
not  lend  itself  to  being  taught  via  computers  (48%),  whereas  this  figure  is  just  33%  for 
vocational teachers and around 20% or less in all other subjects. 

The differences on the other indicators are much less pronounced or do not even occur. 

3.5  Barriers: non-use of ICT by teachers 

Teachers  not  using  computers  in  class report  different  barriers  preventing  them  from  using 
ICT for teaching: 

 

 

“Lack of computers” is the reason stated by 49% of teachers currently belonging to 
the non-IT users for teaching purposes. The variation between countries is huge, with 
Lithuania 78%, Latvia 66%, France 63%, Slovenia 61% giving this as an important 
barrier, while these figures reach only between 27% and 31% in the Netherlands, 
Italy, Denmark and the United Kingdom. 
“The subject does not lend itself to being taught via computers” is the reason given by 
24% and mostly by those teachers in physical and artistic/craft education. 

  Another quarter states “lack of skills” as a constraining factor: in Germany this figure 

reaches a very high 46% and is more than twice as high as the European average. 
There seems to be a real problem in ICT training of teachers in German schools 
especially in primary schools where this figure reaches an even higher 53%. There 
also seems to be a strong correlation of this phenomenon with the age of the 
teachers, since 66% of the German teachers have more than 20 years of teaching 
experience, i.e. are rather old on average. This compares to a European average of 
48% for the whole of Europe. Similar results – although at lower level – occur in 

44 

 
 
Benchmarking access and use of ICT in European Schools 2006 

France and Spain where almost a third of the teachers not using computers in class 
report lack of skills as the reason for not using ICT. Interestingly, and when looking at 
the results of all teachers on the availability of sufficient computer skills among 
teachers, less than a third of German teachers report this to be an issue. This figure 
is below the European average of 42%. 
“Lack of adequate material” is a constraint for 20%, but is not an issue in Iceland and 
the United Kingdom where the figure is only 4%. 

 

  16% of teachers not using computers in class still express the opinion that the use of 
ICT reveals “no or unclear benefits”. German teachers not using ICT in class seem to 
be by far the most sceptical with respect to the benefits which can be achieved by 
using ICT in class, at 48% this is three times higher than the European average. Only 
in four other countries are above average values achieved: these are the Czech 
Republic 25%, Finland 24%, France and Norway 22%. In all other countries 
substantially more teachers are of the opinion that ICT use in class brings clear 
benefits for pupils. There exists a correlation between this scepticism and a lack of 
motivation to use ICT in class with the age/amount of teaching experience of 
teachers: the older the teachers the more likely they will lack motivation to use ICT in 
class because they do not see benefits in its use for pupils.

  This also becomes apparent when cross-tabulating both indicators on an aggregate 
level (cf. below). This shows that in Germany teachers have an average of 23 years 
of teaching experience, i.e. they are old compared to their colleagues in almost all 
other EU member states, and reveals extremely high figures on lack of motivation 
and scepticism for using ICT in class because to them there are no clear benefits for 
pupils. However, in Germany, even the younger non-using teachers are rather 
sceptical about the benefits of ICT in class. Two other countries – Austria and Italy –
have an “old” teacher workforce of about the same average age, but here the 
scepticism is at much lower levels.

Percentage of teachers (not using computers in class) stating that the use of ICT in class does 
not reveal clear benefits for pupils by the average years of teaching experience in Europe 2006 

  Only less than 10% mention “lack of interest of teachers” as a reason for non-use. 

This is in line with the previous results. Again, German teachers not using computers 
in class rank top on “lack of interest” in using computers in class. The figure of 22% is 
almost three times as high as the European average of 9%. The situation is just the 
opposite in countries such as the UK and Malta where lack of interest does not seem 
to play a role, since here this statement receives a zero mention. This also applies to 
many other European countries where one can observe very low values on this 
aspect of non-use. 
“Lack of content in national language” reaches 9% but is only a more substantial 
issue in Slovakia (21%), France (14%), Germany (14%), the Czech Republic (11%) 
and Latvia (10%), where values above this average are achieved. It is not an issue at 
all in the United Kingdom, Austria, and Luxembourg where it is at 0%. 

 

  Better technical ICT maintenance and support is a key issue for two thirds of the 

European schools. This particularly applies to many of the countries with poor ICT 
equipment and use such as Lithuania (90%), Cyprus (89%), Greece (83%), and from 
the old member states, Ireland (85%). The situation seems to be the poorest in 
primary schools. However, in countries with excellent levels of ICT equipment in 
schools and high levels of satisfaction with ICT, better ICT support can also be an 
issue, as illustrated by the example of Norway. ICT equipment in Norwegian schools 
is at a top level compared to other countries. A majority of Norwegian teachers are 
satisfied with the technical access means at their schools: 80% state that their school 
is well-equipped with computers and 83% express the opinion that their internet 
connection is fast enough, with highest satisfaction rates in vocational schools (90%). 
However, a very high 73% wish there were better support and maintenance actions 
taken. This is especially the case in primary schools with 76% of the teachers stating 
this as an issue. This seems to point to an area where there is some need for 
improvement in Norwegian schools. 

  Almost 40% of European teachers also have difficulties in finding adequate learning 
materials for ICT-based teaching. There are only small variations across countries 
and schools types (with few exceptions).

3.6  Access,  Competence  and  Motivation  for  Using  ICT  and  the 

Internet in Schools 

3.6.1  The Access, Competence and Motivation Model (ACM model) 

The ACM model as developed by Viherä and Nurmela (2001) was applied in this project to 
generate  a  typology  according  to  the  “propensity  to  the  use  of  computers  and  internet  by 
teachers in classroom situations at schools”. The typology in the figure below takes account 
of  the  three  main categories  of  preconditions  which need  to be  given  for  a school  to make 
use of computers and the internet in the teaching process in classrooms, computer labs etc. 

This  model  has  been  adopted  for  the  project,  arguing  that  the  three  main  categories  of 
preconditions which need to be given for a person to start using computers, the internet and 
eServices  also  applies  to  teachers  in  their  behaviour  to  start  using  ICT  and  the  internet  in 
classroom situations in schools as asked for in the LearnInd CTS.  

These  are:  access  (to  computers  and  the  internet  at  school),  competence  (in  using  the 
computer software and the internet, and applying it for teaching purposes), and motivation 
(gauged  through  the  attitude  that  using  computers  in  classrooms  results  in  significant 
learning benefits). Any attempt to group the classroom teachers according to their propensity 
to becoming users of computers and the internet in their teaching processes needs to take 
account of these three dimensions.  

Access, Competence and Motivation Model 

Source: based on Viherä & Nurmela 2001. 

In  more  detail,  we  distinguish  between  a  number  of  basic  factors  which  determine  the 
propensity  of  teachers  to  use  computers  and  the  internet  in  class.  The  ACM  model  is  a 
(necessarily) simplified typology that assigns to each respondent a binary (yes/no) value on 
each of the three dimensions: access, competence and motivation.  

It needs to be stressed that all the indicators for the ACM typology come from the Classroom 
Teacher  Survey  (CTS);  therefore  access  is  to  be  understood  as  a  perceived  level  of 
computer equipment at schools and teachers' satisfaction therewith rather than an objective 
measure of equipment status. Objective equipment and access data has only been gathered 
in the Head Teacher Survey (HTS) and is hence not usable (because no micro-data linking is 
possible) for the desired typology.

Benchmarking access and use of ICT in European Schools 2006 

Access is measured using the answers to the CTS survey question Q14 (2) "Our school is 
well-equipped with computers" and Q14 (3) "The internet connection we have is sufficiently 
fast". In case a respondent agrees with both assertions, the variable "access" assumes the 
value 1, otherwise it is zero. 

Competence  is  measured  using  the  variable  skill  that  has  been  previously  described  (cf. 
above).  Competence  assumes  the  value  1  if  good  or  very  good  ICT  skills  are  achieved, 
otherwise it is zero. 

Motivation  is  measured  using  Q14  (8).  Those  teachers  are  defined  as  motivated 
(motivation=1)  who  disagree  with  "Using  computers  in  class  does  not  result  in  significant 
learning benefits", otherwise motivation assumes the value 0. 

Combining the three binary variables, teachers are classified into 8 ACM statuses depending 
on the presence or absence of either concept. 

Because  of  the  likely  differences  between  teachers  currently  using  computers  and  the 
internet at school and the non-users, typologies have been analysed separately for both sub-
groups  of  the  teachers  –  see  below  for  the  typology  of  all  teachers  and  only  of  those  not 
using computers and the internet in classroom situations. 

3.6.2  Access, Competence and Motivation of all Teachers  

What  is  noticeable  when  analysing  the  CTS  survey  data  is  that  more  than  80%  of  the 
European teachers describe themselves as competent in using computers and the internet in 
classroom situations, two-thirds dispose of the necessary motivation for doing so (according 
to  their  own  opinion),  and  60%  describe  the  ICT  infrastructure  in  their  schools  and  the 
internet  connection  as  sufficiently  rapid.  However,  there  are  large  variations  across  the 
countries on all three dimensions.  

With respect to access, countries such as Lithuania, Latvia, Cyprus and Malta can be found 
at  the  bottom  end  with  figures  below  45%,  compared  the  frontrunners  Slovenia,  United 
Kingdom,  Hungary  and  Denmark  all  reaching  figures  beyond  70%.  One  needs  to  bear  in 
mind that these figures are based on the attitudes of the teachers which merely reflect their 
feelings  as  to  the  quality  and  speed  of  the  computer  equipment  and  speed  of  the  internet 
access  and  therefore  do  not  constitute  an  absolute  measurement.  In  the  case  of  Malta  in 
particular  there  seems  to  be  a  certain  paradox:  classroom  teachers  describe  their  internet 
access and the availability of computers at school as sub-optimal whereas from the HTS we 
know  that  schools  in  this  country  are  very  well-equipped,  with  100%  using  computers  for 
educational purposes, 100% of schools with internet access and 95% of the schools having 
broadband access. Concerning the number of computers per 100 pupils, Malta also reaches 
a figure which is above the EU25 average. 

Competence levels seem to be high almost everywhere, with more than 80% or 90% of the 
teachers  describing themselves as competent  in using  the ICT  infrastructure  in classrooms 
whereas teachers in Greece (60%), Portugal (70%), Hungary (71%) and France (76%) rank 
at the bottom end. 

Motivation is lowest in Iceland, Sweden and Spain with figures around or even below 40%. 
Poland, Malta, Portugal rank top with figures above 80% and some of them close to 90%. At 
a first glance it appears to be a surprise that countries like Sweden and Finland rank rather 
low on this dimension. But again, one probably needs to consider that the use of computers 
and the internet by all citizens, including teachers, in these ICT frontrunner countries has for 
some  time  been  part  of  daily  life,  whereas  in  other  countries,  which  are  at  a  lower  level  of 

48 

 
 
 
Benchmarking access and use of ICT in European Schools 2006 

penetration, motivation is of key importance and mentioned as such in the use of computers 
and the internet.

Benchmarking access and use of ICT in European Schools 2006 

Calculating  all  the  types  of  the  ACM  model  with  data  from  the  CTS  survey  yields  the 
following results:  

A substantial 38% of European classroom teachers included in the sample are endowed with 
access  to  computers  and  the  internet  at  school,  the  competence  to  use  the  Internet  for 
teaching  purposes,  and  the  necessary  motivation  to  do  so  (type  I).  The  breakdown  per 
country also shows that a third of European teachers report that they have good access to 
the  internet  and  the  necessary  competence  and  motivation  to  use  ICT  in  classroom 
situations.  This  group  is  largest  in  the  United  Kingdom  –  where  it  comprises  60%  of  the 
teachers – and smallest in Latvia, Iceland and France, where it encompasses less than 20% 
of the teachers.  

Interestingly,  types  III,  V,  VII  and  VIII  are  next  to  non-existent  among  teachers  in  the 
countries  included  in  the  sample:  persons  who  have  neither  access  nor  motivation  and 
competence (VIII),  those  with  access  but  without  competence and  motivation  (VII)  but  also 
those without access and competence but motivation (V) and those lacking competence but 
having access and motivation (III), are very rare.  

It  appears  as  if  motivation  seems  to  be  a  critical  factor,  since  14%  with  access  lack  both 
motivation and competence and another 10% also lack motivation despite their competence 
and  access  to  ICT.  The  existence  and  considerable  relative  size  of  this  group  of  teachers 
with  a  lack  of  motivation  in  all  ten  countries  covered  by  the  sample  indicates  that  access 
alone is by no means a sufficient condition for uptake of ICT use in schools. Getting schools 
online is not enough if the goal is to involve as many teachers and pupils as possible in using 
the Internet and eLearning services as an integral part of the teaching and learning process.  

On the contrary, only 4% of the European teachers have neither access, nor the necessary 
competence and motivation (type VIII). 

In some countries at least access is also critical since more than one in five report that they 
dispose of competence and motivation but lack access. The situation is most critical in Malta 
with  more  than  40%  of  teachers  reporting  this,  followed  by  Portugal,  Cyprus  and  Ireland 
where this figure is around 35%. The opposite situation can be observed in countries such as 
Iceland,  Hungary,  Sweden  and  the  Netherlands,  where  only  around  10%  of  teachers  with 
motivation and competence report a lack of access.

3.6.3  Access,  Competence  and  Motivation  of  Teachers  not  Using  Computers 

and the Internet at School 

When looking at those teachers not using computers and the internet at school, it becomes 
apparent that lack of access seems to be the largest barrier.  

19%  of  European  teachers  in  this  group  of  non-users  are  motivated  and  competent  to  use 
computers  and  the  internet  as  part  of  the  teaching  process  but  lack  access.  This  group  is 
largest in Malta and Portugal with figures of 40% and almost 30%. Another 8% lack access 
and  competence  but  dispose  of  motivation,  12%  lack  access  and  motivation  but  are 
competent and 9% rate negatively on all three indicators. 

However,  a  quarter  of  teachers  not  using  a  computer  dispose  of  access,  competence  and 
motivation,  i.e.  they  should be  ready  to start  but for  some specific  reason  –  which requires 
further  investigation  –  they  do  not.  This  group  is  very  large  in  the  United  Kingdom  (55%) 
followed by Denmark (47%) and the Netherlands (44%) and smallest in Iceland (8%), Latvia 
(10%),  Spain  (14%)  and  France  (15%).  These  could  be  candidates  for  making  use  of 
computers in school in the near future indicating that the share of frontrunner countries such 
as the United Kingdom, Denmark and the Netherlands, already at high levels concerning the 
use of ICT by teachers in schools, are further moving ahead and widening the gap with the 
laggards such as the countries above showing low figures on this indicator.

Universe / Sample population 

In  order  to  assure  the  comparability  of  school  levels  in  all  countries  UIS-OECD-EUROSTAT  “Mapping  of 
national  education  programmes  to  ISCED  97  for  school  academic/year  2002/2003”2  was  used  for 
composing the sample frame. Based on that, each country divided its school system into ICSED codes and 
made different combinations that existed in its country.

*Upper secondary educational level schools include also vocational education, which is coded under ISCED 
2 or 3 or is given together with upper secondary education 

Sampling frame and method 

The  sample  was  composed  using  official  databases,  which  contained  contact  data  of  schools.  In  the 
majority of countries the sample was drawn from a database received from the Ministry of Education.

The  universe  of  primary  and  lower  secondary  schools  is  gathered  from  the  GSI-
register  (grunnskolens  informasjonssystem)  and  information  about  upper  secondary 
and upper secondary vocational schools is from Ssb (Statistiscs Norway).

Benchmarking Access and Use of ICT in European Schools 2006 

For  each  country  a  separate  template  of  sample  frames  was  composed  by  TNS  Emor.  These  templates 
contained  data  about  school  types  across  regions  as  well  as  location  type.  School  types  were  defined 
based  on  the  ISCED  codes  provided  in  UIS-OECD-EUROSTAT.  Location  type  distribution  was  made 
according to the Eurostat type of locality classification which differentiates densely populated, intermediate 
and thinly populated muinicipalities3. Apart from that, each country was divided into 3-7 regions depending on 
the size of a country. 

Based on the data provided by countries, TNS Emor composed quotas for each country.  Two level stratification 
was used – quotas for first stage, random simple for second.  The quotation for region by school type and 
location  type  were  endorsed.    Simple  random  selection  was  conducted  by  the  local  agency  or  the  local 
source  of  the  contact  base.  Both  private  and  public  schools  were  included  in  the  sample.  It  was  also 
obligatory to include schools of other teaching languages than official language of a country to the sample. 

Simple random sampling was used inside a quota cell.  This means that if the quota for primary schools in 
region1  was  100  and  the  total  number  of  primary  school  in  this  region  was  800,  then  a  random  sample 
selection  was  be  made  among  those  800 schools.  This covered also  both  private  and  public  schools  and 
schools of other teaching languages than official language of a country. 

No more than 50% of interviews could have been made in one school level.  At least 10% of respondents 
had  to  be  from  schools,  which  provided  professional/vocational  or  combined  program  of  vocational  and 
upper secondary level education (in case a country did not have special quota for those schools). It did not 
matter whether vocational education level was coded as ISCED 3 or ISCED 4. 

There were no duplication in samples of head teacher and classroom teacher survey. This was only allowed 
in countries with small universe sizes (e.g Malta, Cyprus, Iceland, Estonia, Latvia etc) and in cases where 
the last quota cells were very difficult to achieve or there were not enough schools of a certain type. Priority 
was to include as many different schools as possible. In both surveys, 5 attempts were made before giving 
up, only if responded refused, this person was not contacted again. 

3  Densely  populated  area  refers  to  a  set  of  closely  related  local  units,  each  one  of  which  having  a 
density  greater  than  500  inhabitants  per  km2,  and  the  total  population  of  which  being  of  at  least  50 
000 inhabitants; Intermediate area refers to a set of closely related local units that do not pertain to a 
densely populated area, each one of which having density greater than 100 inhabitants per km2, and 
where  the  total  population  is  at  least  of  50  000  inhabitants  or  it  refers  to  a  set  that  is  adjacent  to  a 
highly populated area.  Thinly populated area (rural): refers to a set of closely related local units that 
are not part of a densely populated area, or of an intermediate area. (A set of local areas totalling less 
than 100 km², not reaching the required  density, but entirely  enclosed  within a  densely-populated or 
intermediate  area,  is  to  be  considered  to  form  part  of  that  area.  If  it  is  enclosed  within  a  densely-
populated area and an intermediate area it is considered to form part of the intermediate area).

The  CATI  program  generated  a  randomly  chosen  letter.    The  interviewer  asked  for  the  person  with  a 
surname that started on the generated letter.  If there was more than one teacher whose surname started 
with  the  selected  letter,  the  person  that  is  first  alphabetically  was  chosen.    If  the  correct  person  was  not 
available, an appointment was made.  At least 5 attempts were made, before taking another teacher. 

Only in Malta due to instructions dictated by the Education Department, the Head Teacher would randomly 
select a teacher that would be available for an appointment during which they would be interviewed. 

Fieldwork 

Fieldwork  was  coordinated  by  the  TNS  Emor  and  conducted  in  cooperation  with  its  local  TNS  offices 
excluding Iceland, Cyprus, Austria, Slovenia and Malta where TNS does not have offices. In these countries 
partners with whom TNS has experiences before were used.  

Pilot  interviews  prior  to  the  regular  fieldwork  were  conducted  with  20  schools  in  both  target  groups  in 
Estonia  and  Greece  in  February  2006,  in  order  to  test  the  questionnaire  (structure,  comprehensibility  of 
questions).

Feedback on the fieldwork 
No major problems were reported from the fieldwork with respect to interviewing. The overall feedback from the 
survey organisations was that fieldwork ran smoothly and that the questionnaire was well understood by most 
respondents. The main challenge was the fulfilment of the quotas and selection of CTS survey respondent.

Comments 

It  was  quite  difficult  to  reach  the  targeted  number  of  interviews  because  it 
was the exam period before the Easter holidays (starting from April 3rd) and 
because of the very strict and difficult contact procedure of CT survey.

Czech Republic  Head  teachers  sometimes  express  doubts  about  the  reasonability  of

Some schools were very annoyed being contacted again for carrying out the 
second interview in the same schools in the other target group. 

We  had  some  problems  with  the  local  education  authorities,  some  of  them 
wanted to know, why we did the study 

The  selection  of  teachers  was  difficult.  We  had  to  contact  teachers  several 
times in order to get  qualified  person. We also made a lot  of phone calls to 
teachers’  mobile  phones  because  we  could  not  reach  them  during  the  time 
they were in class.  

Spring break was during the fieldwork period, due to that it was very difficult 
to reach teachers during that week.  

In  HTS  many  directors  were  not  aware  of  the  number  of  computers  in  the 
breakdown of school levels or Internet connection speed, so we had to make 
appointment and call back. 

No problems occur. 

In  HTS  we  had  difficulties  in  meeting  the  cross  quotas  (region  and  school 
type). 

In  both  surveys  we  could  not  follow  the  estimated  location  type  quotas, 
because  the  data  about  distribution  of  schools  in  the  breakdown  of  location 
type  was  not  available  and estimations made by population did  not  apply to 
the actual situation in France. 

The  Primary  school  targets  were  met  without  any  difficulty  in  both  surveys 
because of the large amount of available sample. Secondary and Vocational 
targets were more difficult to achieve because of the limited sample number.  
There  was  additional  difficulty  in  achieving  the  Vocational  School  target  as 
many  respondents  in  Secondary  schools  who  offered  Vocational  level 
education,  did  not  identify  themselves  as  such  at  Q1  –  for  this  reason  the 
wording  of  Vocational  Schools  was  changed  mid  way  through  fieldwork  to 
Combined  Secondary/Vocational  School’  as  combined  education  was 
provided. 

One further difficulty was in meeting the location type quotas as we ended up 
in  a  position  where  we  were  trying  to  find  Vocational  schools  in  thinly 
populated  areas  –  however,  if  the  study  is  repeated,  this  is  a  factor  we  will 
build  into  the  sample  design.  There  was  no  official  data  available  how 
schools by school type are distributed in different location types. 

We  had  problems  receiving  data  about  the  universe  -  number  of  schools  in 
the breakdown of school type, region and location type.  

The  Ministry  of  Education  and  Culture  was  informed  about  the  survey  and 
they provided CYMAR with a letter based on the letter sent by the European 
Commission.  In  the  case  that  some  teachers  refused  to  answer  saying  that 
they would first need the Ministry’s permission, the letter was faxed to them.

This helped us complete the survey and avoid a higher refusal rate. In total, 
14 teachers asked about the permission and it was faxed to them. 

Head  teachers  who  could  not  reply  to  all  questions  immediately  were 
contacted later based on the appointment agreed.

respondents  caused  a 

In  two  of  the  weeks  devoted  to  both  surveys’  fieldwork,  there  was  spring 
break and the project  week. During this time, the majority  of teachers spent 
their  time  outside  school.  Therefore  it  was  difficult  to  reach  the  required 
respondent. 

In small schools, recruitment time – the time spent in looking for the particular 
respondent,  was  shorter,  as  classrooms  are  located  close  to  the  teachers’ 
room  in  these  schools.  At  the  same  time,  in  larger  schools  the  distance 
among  classrooms  is  larger,  and  breaks  were  often  too  short  to  find  and 
interview the teacher. 

Speaking  about  the  subject  taught  in  CTS,  two  teachers  within  one  school 
could  name  the  same  subject,  although  each  of  them  is  teaching  on  a 
different  level  (one  is  teaching  Mathematics  in  primary  classes,  while  the 
other  –  in  secondary  school  classes).  In  such  case,  there  were  situations 
where  two  teachers  teaching  the  same  subject  in  the  same  school  could 
answer  completely  different  to  the  question  Q12.  For  example:  one  teacher 
could  say  that  the  subject  is  not  suitable  for  teaching  it  with  the  help  of 
computer,  however,  both  teachers  gives  lessons  to  different  class  groups, 
and  the  other  teacher  could  have  not  mentioned  this  reason.  Probably,  the 
other  respondent  did  not  have  to  answer  this  question  at  all,  for  he/she 
already uses both a computer and the Internet. 

In  HT  survey  somewhat  problematic  was  the  question  about  the  number  of 
teachers in school. In several cases, amount of work of school teachers does 
not reach half a workload.  For example: a teacher is working in 2-4 schools 
simultaneously,  giving  1-2  lectures  once  a  week  in  every  school.  Thereby, 
this teacher does not fit in the total number of teachers. 

Similar problems were encountered in determining the number of teachers at 
separate education levels.  

The  scale  given  in  the  question  Q13  was  unclear  to  respondents.  The 
wording  of  the  question  rather  called  for  an  affirmative  or  negative  answer, 
without options – tend to agree or disagree.   

It  was  difficult  to  find  a  right  person  for  CTS.  Teachers  have  no  personal 
telephone numbers and administration doesn’t  want to look for the teachers 
in the big school building. 

The  most  difficult  question  in  CTS  was  the  main  subject  that  they  teach. 
Teachers often teach several subjects and can’t choose the main 

In  HTS  we  had  problems  with  question  9.  Head  teachers  of  many  schools 
didn’t  know  type  of  Internet  connection.  We  had  to  make  appointment  and 
call back to these schools after type of Internet connection was identified.

The  actual  sample  once  on  the  field  differed  to  the  original  universe  due  to

We  had  big  problems  finding  the  universe  of  schools  in  Netherlands.  The 
Ministry of Education was not co-operative. There is no central registration of 
all  schools.  We  were  sent  from  one  office  to  the  other.  Especially  the 
numbers  for  vocational  schools  were  hard  to  get.  We  didn’t  get  enough

numbers  for  vocational  schools  for  both  surveys.  Phone  numbers  of 
approximately  300  vocational  schools  have  been  looked  up  on  the  internet. 
Due to that we could not begin the survey on time and we also could not end 
it on time as we did not have enough phone numbers of vocational schools. 

In  HTS  because  of  an  technical  break  down  of  our  CATI-server  our  field 
department  had  problems  with  controlling  the  quota  for  some  days  –  this  is 
the reason, why we made too many interviews in location type C. 

No problems occur. 

As  we  did  not  have  official  data  about  distribution  of  schools  in  the 
breakdown of location type. This variable was not used for weighting. 

The teachers in CTS were a bit harder to be reached (because of the nature 
of their work), but we solved this with appointments so they were called when 
they were not having classes and they left us the phone numbers where they 
could be reached at that time. In HTS we had very few refusals. Some of the 
respondents are interested in receiving a feedback, concerning the results of 
the survey. 

No major problems occur. 

The  CTS  questionnaire  as  such  worked  well,  but  the  selection  method 
caused sometimes great confusion, and necessitated high number of calls to 
the school in order to finally get the qualified person to be interviewed. 

HTS  questionnaire  worked  fine  and  respondents  (after  they  could  be 
reached) were willing to cooperate in general. However, due to the nuances 
in  the  educational  system,  in  a  few  cases  there  was  misunderstanding 
concerning types of education given.

No problems occur. 

In CTS the only problem we faced was due to quotas/sample  –  we were in 
shortage  of  sample  to  fulfill  all  of  the  quotas.  In  HTS  fieldwork  went  fine, 
except from some difficulties filling the quotas.

Statistical accuracy of the survey: confidence intervals  

Statistics  vary  in  their  accuracy,  depending  on  the  kind  of  data  and  sources.  A  "confidence  interval"  is  a 
measure that helps to assess the accuracy that can be expected from data. The confidence interval is the 
estimated range of values on a certain level of probability of error. Confidence intervals for estimates of a 
population fraction (percentages) depend on the sample size, the probability of error, and the survey result 
(value  of  the  percentage)  itself.  Further  to  this,  variance  of  the  weighting  factors  has  negative  effects  on 
confidence intervals. 

The calculation of confidence intervals is based on the assumption of (quasi-) infinite population universes. 
In  practice,  however,  in  some  country  and  for  some  school  levels  the  complete  population  of  schools 
consists of only several hundred or even a few dozen  of schools. In some cases, literally each and every 
school within a country-school type cell was contacted and asked to participate in the survey. This means 

441 

 
 
Monitoring and Benchmarking access and use of ICT in European Schools 2006 

that it is practically impossible to achieve a higher confidence interval through representative school surveys 
in which participation is not obligatory.

2.1  HTS - Head Teacher Survey 2006 Questionnaire 

Q: WELCOME *************************************************************** 
Hello,  my  name  is  ________  and  I  am  calling  on  behalf  of  TNS  (local 
agency). We are conducting a survey on behalf of the European Commission. 

The  aim  of  the  survey  is  to  find  out  how  schools  are  equipped  with 
computers and the internet. I would like to talk to the person who is most 
familiar with IT equipment and internet access for your school. This could 
be  a  school  director,  the  principle,  a  department  head  or  a  teacher 
responsible for teaching IT. 

Your  school  has  been  selected  at  random  to  participate  and  none  of  the 
responses given will be identified with any individual school or person. 

The interview will last approximately 5 minutes. 

If the correct person is not available, please make an appointment. 

The interviewer has to make at least 5 attempts, before giving up.

professional/vocational school 

This is based on the school type (in the sample frame). For example, 
you  have  school  based  on  ISCED  classification  1+2+3.  This  is  upper 
secondary  school.  This  is  single  question.  You  may  not  code  more 
than one answer.  

You  may  adapt  the  list  above  based  on  the  school  names  in  your 
country.  For  example  if  you  name  upper  secondary  school  in  your 
country gymnasium, please use this. But you may not have more than 4 
codes  for  this  question  and  school  names  have  to  apply  to  the  ones 
listed. 

In Q1a you will specify which school levels have been taught in this 
school.  Based  on  the  example  above  you  should  specify  if  there  is 
primary  level,  lower  secondary  level  and  upper  secondary  level, 
because  later  in  the  questionnaire  you  will  ask  questions  based  on 
Q1a  about  primary  level,  lower  secondary  level  and  upper  secondary 
level.

2.2  CTS – Classroom Teacher Survey 2006 Questionnaire 

Q: WELCOME *************************************************************** 
Hello, my name is ________ and I am calling on behalf of TNS (local 
agency). We are conducting a survey on behalf of the European Commission. 

The aim of the survey is to find out the use of computers and the internet 
in schools. 

Your school has been selected at random to participate and none of the 
responses given will be identified with any individual school or person. 

The interview will last 5 minutes. 

In order to ensure we have a random selection of teachers, could I please 
talk to the teacher whose surname starts with letter …  
Instructions: CATI program generate letter. If there is more than one 
teacher whose surname starts with the selected letter, please choose the 
person that is first alphabetically. e.g Mets and Meri – choose Meri. 

Please  program  CATI  script  so  that  letters  appear  in  a  row  –  this 
will  allow  the  interviewer  to  select  a  subsequent  letter  if 
necessary. 

The order of letters must be rotated between interviews but you may 
exclude any letters, which are rarely used as the first letter of a 
surnames in your country. 

If the correct person is not available, please make an appointment. Do not 
replace with a teacher who is available. At least 5 attempts have to be 
made, before taking another teacher.

C: SINGLE 
Is your school a.. ?  READ OUT

primary school 
lower secondary school 
upper secondary school 
professional/vocational school 

This is based on the school type (in the sample frame). For example, 
you  have  school  based  on  ISCED  classification  1+2+3.  This  is  upper 
secondary  school.  This  is  single  question.  You  may  not  code  more 
than one answer.  

You  may  adapt  the  list  above  based  on  the  school  names  in  your 
country.  For  example  if  you  name  upper  secondary  school  in  your 
country gymnasium, please use this. But you may not have more than 4 
codes  for  this  question  and  school  names  have  to  apply  to  the  ones 
listed. 

In Q1a you will specify which school levels have been taught in this 
school.  Based  on  the  example  above  you  should  specify  if  there  is 
primary  level,  lower  secondary  level  and  upper  secondary  level. 
Because  later  in  the  questionnaire  you  will  ask  questions  based  on 
Q1a  about  primary  level,  lower  secondary  level  and  upper  secondary 
level.
