In some EU countries, up to one in three adults has the ability to understand and create information only at the lowest level.
As indicated in the Council document, 44% of the population of EU has low or no digital skills (19%). In a knowledge-based economy, remembering facts and procedures is essential, but not sufficient to ensure progress and success. In our rapidly changing society, skills such as problem solving skills, critical thinking, collaborative ability, creative thinking, computational thinking, and self-regulation are more essential than ever before. They are the tools to do what you get learned, put into practice in real time to generate new ideas, new theories, new products and new knowledge.
