How is knowledge of the English language related to the digital literacy of Ukrainians?

According to recent research, 51% of adults in Ukraine possess at least basic English skills, while 23% have a high level of proficiency. There is a clear correlation between English language skills and income levels: 52% of high-income individuals have advanced English knowledge, compared to only 12% of low-income individuals.

The Ministry of Digital Transformation has also released findings on the digital literacy levels of Ukrainians for 2023, highlighting the relationship between digital skills and English proficiency. It was found that 60.4% of Ukrainians lacking digital skills also do not speak English.

English serves as a tool to enhance digital skills and opens doors to new opportunities. Platforms like Empower and Promova are available to Ukrainians through the national language program Future Perfect.
