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, 21 percent of users with low formal education in the European Union used the internet to participate in online learning activities, an increase of seven percent since 2019. Among people with medium formal education the share amounted to 21 percent. 42 percent of users in the European Union with a high degree of formal education had used the internet to access online learning content.
