The European questionnaire on Information and Communication Technologies Data reveals that there exists a disparity between the internet usage of people with a low, medium, and high formal education level. This disparity although present in most countries, differs widely in its severity.
In 2020, only 7 percent of users with low formal education in Ireland used the internet to participate in online learning activities. Among people with medium formal education the share was 13 percent higher, amounting to only 20 percent. 47 percent of users in Ireland with a high degree of formal education had used the internet to access online learning content.
